What are the most common parenting fails? We've collected all the myths our parents told us. You can now surprise your parents with all the new answers you’ve got, or choose to keep it to yourself.
Parents are always the main source of information for a child. But they are not always the most reliable source. Bright Side decided to think back on all the myths our parents told us.

TIMESTAMPS
Your ears go red when you lie. 0:52
If you sit too close to the TV, you’ll hurt your eyes. 1:59
You’ll get sick if you stand near a working microwave. 2:59
You’ll get arthritis if you crack your knuckles. 3:45
You’ll get acne if you eat too much chocolate. 4:15
If you swallow chewing gum, it’ll stay inside you for 7 years. 4:48
If you touch a toad, you’ll get warts. 5:32
Your hair will grow faster if you have it cut more often. 6:11
If you get scared when making a face, it’ll stick that way. 6:42
If you play video games for too long, you’ll destroy your TV. 7:17

SUMMARY
- Blood vessels in the ears regulate the temperature of the body, so if they are red, it means the body is overheated.
- This is a very popular misconception. However, as this long-term extension study has shown, myopia in children doesn’t have anything to do with watching TV or sitting in front of the computer.
- Modern microwave ovens are totally safe as long as they are fully functioning.
- No connection has been made between arthritis and cracking knuckles. Bones don’t pop, but air bubbles do.
- Acne is an inflammation of the skin, and chocolate doesn’t cause pimples to appear. There is research that says otherwise, but scientists think it’s controversial.
- If you swallow chewing gum, it will be digested just like anything else. The only difference is that it’ll take a little more time.
- The reasons why warts appear are reduced immunity and human papillomavirus (HPV).
- Unfortunately, hair growth rate doesn’t depend on how often you have it cut. The average hair growth rate is 0.01 inches per day.
- No connection has been found between getting scared and dysfunction of the facial nerve.
- TVs break down over time, no matter how often you play video games.

One time I accidentally swallowed a gum when i was young. I cried all night and my dad told he magically removed the gum from my stomach, but out that creeps me more.
