Answer 3

It's only unhealthy if it effects your everyday life. Like if you are late to school or forget to eat or not do your chores. It's better than watching TV.  

Answer 4

Probably about 100th of the time I spend on it :-)

As a young person you should really be out enjoying the real world with real people. I would suggest an hour a day is plenty enough.

Answer 5

umm since it's summer i spend about 10 hours on the computer lol

Answer 6

12

Answer 7

That depends on the individual and indeed what they do on their computer, overall i prefer my computer to watching tv, i use it for reading the news, sometimes message boards or blog type things, i also like listening to online talk radio stations as in the area i live in cannot receive these stations on dab or analogue radio sets.

My use on/connected to the internet is about 4 hours each evening, i surf/listen in bed as i find it helps me unwind, ready to sleep, i do not think at your age you should be staying on too long, however there are safeguards so hopefully your be ok.
