I also have the feeling I do not know English and computers at all. What
does a teen watching TV programs has to do with sudo and Linux and why
would they need sudo at all? Also the word program is ambiguous in the
context. Is it a TV program or a computer program?

In any case - no one gives root to all to everybody or not known/skilled
people - problems are to be expected.
