I met many internet addicts in my life, I mean, they're all around. Even I'm one. Addiction is very bad, even the word itself spells trouble. One of the worst is internet addiction. Addiction on the internet can consist of many things like gaming addiction, blogging addiction, youtube addiction and more. Such addictions can cause the addict to sleep late, unable to concentrate during lessons, lose friends from the reality as they stop talking to one another, decrease in grades due to lack of concentration and more. So being too addicted can be very serious.
So try to minimize internet time, plan your day or just restrict yourself from using. It's hard but as long as the determination is there, nothing is impossible.
I did get into trouble once which was during primary six. I was addicted to blogging, facebooking, youtubing and especially, gaming. I couldn't stop myself from getting my face in front of the computer screen. It was hard. Everyday when I return home, I'll switch the computer on and use till 6 in the evening. It was 5 hours everyday.
I was so addicted that my result fell tremendously, it was so bad that my parents stepped in and restricted me to 1/2 hour a day, I even had to study for 1 more hour at night, with my mother watching me. Her stare creeps me out. Even television time was cut, I was so frustrated but I knew it was for my own good. Slowly and thankfully, my academic results improved and I got awesome grades for PSLE which I thought I could not accomplish.
I want to thank my parents, teachers and tuition teachers for helping me out, especially my mother.
So I resumed gaming during the holidays after the PSLE results was released but I restricted myself not to play too much.
