look, i think i am quite addicted with the internet, mainly from:

1 downloading
2 public forums
3 news(everything including entertainment, and games news)
4 search for my kind of stuff(comic, cartoons, movies, mp3)
5 emailing with people
6 online games

whenever i came home from school i started computer immediately and it would last at least 10 hours taken up most 90% of my time at home(excluding sleeping)

i seriously need to overcome these addictions, do you have any suggestions?

>>Try adding other activities to your routine.

Yea that could probably work.

But you see, i can't find anything that attracts me as much as computers and going online, thats the problem.
I guess the only viable options are to find a job (for summer), and do some exercise.

Anything that can be done to make me less attracted to internet????

I have my own buisness plus i'm currently restoring an old truck and on top of that i'm a single parent with two daughters so my time is limited on the net.:wacko:

My advice get yourself busy doing other things.

Get addicted to movies, so addicted that you buy, rent or steal a DVD burner, once you start you will be unable to watch any downloaded movies without a bit of dissappointment. You will still use your PC, however never to go on the net, you will not have time for that, your PC will be ripping/compressing and burning too many DVD's to even think about doing too much surfing.
