Help! I Think I'm addicted on the computer!

Question

Okay, so I heard on the TV if you are on the computer for hours each day, you are addicted to it. I'm on for hours a day! Am I addicted to it? And I heard you can go to rehab for it. Will I go to rehab when I'm older?

Answer 1

If your on the computer just gabbing away with friends and not really accomplishing anything or learning, then I'd say you have a problem. Not all people on the computer are addicts because many jobs require a person to use the computer for many hours daily. You just need to find a new hobby to keep you busy if you have time to kill. You can do anything your mind tells you to do. If you feel you are spending too much time on line then set limits for yourself. Take walks and get some air and exercise. Pick up a book and read it. I'd say that your probably too young to worry about this type of addiction because many young people enjoy using the computer idly.

Answer 2

i don't think you're addicted to it. i mean, if you can control it and stop and any time then i guess you're okay.

but if you can't stop thinking about getting on or miss important things just to get on, then i guess you're addicted.  

Answer 3

Oh good god.

You're probably just a boring kid with nothing to do so you choose to sit at the computer for hours on end. Do you have a job? Do you go to school? Are you involved in any activities? If not, that's probably why you're on the computer. And if you do have any of those responsibilities, is your computer time conflicting with them? If it is, then you're probably somewhat addicted.

Answer 4

If you never go outside and have no friends besides from online, then yes, you're addicted and need some help.

Otherwise, I think you're just a bored pre-teen chillin online.
