Addiction to internet

I'm addicted to internet. Mostly to sites that are money generating but not a lot. I have no idea what solution i could do, but learn to stop myself.

This is really a problem all over the world.Internet does a lot of good to us.At the same time,childrens can easily get addicted to it.So what should parents do?I'm now a college student.I don't play online games but only some small games.I think parents should educate their kids what they should do on the internet.For kids,they can learn knowledge on it,also can play some sall games.I think the importance is that whether children are welled-instructed.

yeah when it interfer with school and homework its too much. when my kids was younger then had time limit using the net. but i know if we didnt have it i would be bored out of my mind. i do play some games on here but i also use it to look up different things, and also to play with music as well

actually i am not married and dont have any kid due to this. but i am addicted to internet i can say. that even if i dont use internet a day this is the day as i have missed something. and most of the time i would love to be online

i'm a little addicted to the internet. if i leave the internet for a while i'll be bored soon. but i seldom play online games or pc games.i only browse some forums such mylot and chat with my friends or just listen to some music. i think it's really difficult to get rid of the attachment to the internet.i mostly depend on themselves.they must learn to contain the desire to get online and playing games, i think.

haha.. i might say parent's should not try to help the kids to give up the internet because i am one of them but you know what, i learn many things because of this computer things and it is good for the future of the kids..

i wouldnt say that i am addicted to the internet per se, but i am addicted to certain websites on the internet. sites like ebay (i am always looking for a bargain) and etsy (a great craft site) are my addictions.

I love the Internet and the guys that originally came up with the idea well, they're geniuses I guess! I am definitely addicted to the Internet, it takes up a lot of my time throughout the day. I do try to do other things in between but I guess I like to finish the evening online especially when I am logged into My Lot. I don't know anything about kids as I don't have any of my own but I guess if I am to look at it objectively then I would say that there has to be a healthy balance. In terms of kids using the Internet is should be looked upon as a kind of treat or reward! Are the kids behaving themselves? If so then they deserve Internet time. If not however, then they should not be allowed to use the Internet for a short while so that an invaluable lesson can be taught. I guess we are in the modern age now though and it's hard to keep an eye on children all of the time, what they are doing online and so forth. I think just as long as other areas are not being affected then some Internet time is perfectly acceptable! Andrew

Many kinds addicted to internet, especailly like to play online game. Though many net bar seted up the rugulations for kids, however the kids often go to surf internet.It should teach the kids about the internet's bad benefit, and let the kids know it's not good and health for their study.

I don't have kids myself, but both my sists live near me so I help out with their kids a lot. They have strict rules in place that their kids must follow concerning internet, video games, and television. The kids have a routine that they must follow when they get home. First, my sister makes her kids sit down for 20 minutes in the living room with her with no tv or anything on, and she makes them talk about their day, what they learned that day, what friends they made or lost etc. She asks them what the best and worst part of their day was that day, and what could they do to improve, and she usually manages to put some sort of life lesson in, such as the importance of school, and being nice to your friends at school. After the talk, she makes them a snack. Then, they begin their homework. After their homework, she encourages them to play outside for at least 30 minutes. Then, they come in, and wash up for dinner. After dinner, she checks their homework assignments to make sure they did it, and that they understand it, and if they pass, they get to have "free time" for 1 hour to watch tv, use the internet, play video games etc. Their internet is filtered so that they can only go to safe sites. If they are successful all week in this routine, then on Saturday's they are allowed to play all day in whatever they want to do. She has had great success with this routine, and I think I'll try it with my kids when I have them. Both her kids are on the honor roll, and seem quite happy with the routine.

Internet has become one of the biggest and most interesting thing nowadays.According to me,it would be more beneficial for kids when they grow up if they were not given the freedom to used it before they're really matured.

A friend of mine is also having trouble with her daughter when it comes to the Internet. She's in highschool and most of her time is eaten up by friends and the internet. She constantly talks with them on messenger, and then she sees them in school. They fixed the computer in way that blocks yahoo off the pc, so she's unable to use yahoo messenger. But then there's facebook, and her parents are trying to keep her from learning about other messenger systems off the Internet. She doesn't really spend much time on games but instead of doing her school work like she says, her attention is being diverted by other things. Maybe you can limit the time they spend on playing games. That's the only way to cut that short. Give them an ultimatum, like if they are able to do something for you, then you will extend their internet time.

My niece and nephew are really addicted to the internet. We only have one computer at home and they take turns in using the important and they quarrel all the time! Just this morning, they were fighting over the computer and I was really mad so I've forbidden them to use the computer. They said they're mom's gonna buy them one and I told my sister not to. I think they've turned into monsters just because of the computer. And what you said is true. A lot of students skip class just to play online games or check their facebook account. I remember when I was in college, I have this group of classmates, they're all guys, and they all skip class just to play warcraft. They failed most of the subjects and at present, they are still studying they're 5th year in college.

For me it is not a good idea to stop this internet thing... Internet help us a lot especially to the students...The solution to this just encourage the kids to minimized using the net,just do a little discipline
