Letters about issue #1
I do think that kids should be on TV. It is not just adults that have talent. Kids have it too, and they should have a chance to show it off. Kid Nation is a great way for kids to communicate with each other and to learn not to give up. Shaq's Big Challenge teaches kids healthy ways to lose weight. On America's Got Talent, it is so awesome to see kids my age and sometimes younger appear on that show. It is a marvelous way for children to express themselves.

I think it's wonderful that "Shaq's Big Challenge" is trying to keep kids healthy and on their toes, but I don't like the idea of putting those kids on TV. You can keep them healthy and losing weight, but they might be embarrassed with millions of people watching them.

I think that Shaq's Big Challenge helped a lot of kids. It was a very good show. If I were Shaquille O'Neal, I would go all around the world helping children.

"I really enjoyed the story "TV Time." It was great to learn about new reality shows that put kids in the spotlight.

"I think it's great that kids can lose weight on "Shaq's Big Challenge." I probably wouldn't go on the show if I had to sweat on camera. When I sweat I look like Einstein with a worse hairdo.
-Ryan C., Oklahoma
