i cant study!!

I feel your pain. I too am addicted to the internet. It makes studying impossible. Of course, I also have severe ADD, so I'm just screwed.

i am very addicted to it to the point that sometimes i lay in bed and want to honestly get back up at night to get back on it...but i mean there are times when i just can't get enough of the internet and then there are times when i just can't get into being on the internet and working and all of that...but like i said earlier sometimes i will lay in bed and think about things like that when i can't sleep or something

The key there is balance. It's nice that you're spending time here in MyLot, but don't forget that you also have other roles in life that you need to play. You know that studying is very important, as it is a tool for you to grow as a person. Not only that, you also need to take into consideration the efforts that your parents put up just for you to study. Schedule your time, and try to keep up with it. Good luck!

yeah.. unplug yer computer and stop being a whiny brat

I wouldn't say that I'm addicted, but I definitely spend quite a bit of time online these days [what with homework that has to be e-mailed to teachers, and Mylot, and other networking sites]. I think if you're having a huge issue with the internet being a problem rather than an asset, maybe you just need to disconnect the internet from your computer/temporarily discontinue your internet service. Just until you can get back on your feet.

Like you, I, too, am addicted to the Internet. Because of it, my grades went a little bit down, but I still managed to be on the top list. One reason in my addiction to the Internet was Blogging or Web Logging. I really wanted to keep and maintain my own Online Journal so I do so in the Internet. Another was the Online Community Friendster. It really sucked me to the Internet realm and made a deal with me of not staying Offline for like a day or so. Anyway, I'm going to have a laptop, which my dad bought for me, so it would be assuring everybody that I'll get more and more indulged in my Internet addiction. Happy MyLotting!

You need to control yourself. Understand that you have to study in order to prepare yourself for your exams. Why not staying away from your computer? Go study in the kitchen room maybe. The best way to not be attracted to the computer is going to your school or local library. Whenever I have alot o things to do, I stay at school library and do what i have to do until i finish and i go home. There are many computers as well for students but they are need it for studying like typing an assignment or check online homework on the teachers website. You can go there and play a bit on mylot but you will feel bad not studying while the others do. I feel embarassing checking doing unecessary stuff at school while there are students waitig on a line to access the computer. so goodluck

I have an to myspace/facebook. I get on there and i completely forget about my studying. next thing I know it has been 2 hours.

Well, I had the same problem when I was going to school. I was either on the internet, or on the phone with my boyfriend. I always found a reason not to study, and when I look back, I wish that I had, because I never graduated high school, and never went on to doing what I wanted to do. I'm still young, at 21, and plan to continue my education as soon as finances allow. You just have to keep remembering that by studying you are improving the chances of having a better future for yourself.

I know what you mean... Try going somewhere twice or three times a week where you cannot get access to the internet and take you books with you... Somewhere where you have nothing to keep you entertained... Somewhere like your grandparents' house. I don't know be creative
