just make your school work a higher priority. You can still watch the animes, just tell yourself your school work need to get done first and if you do it you can watch a amine. I don’t think you can blame watching animes for you failing at life’s tasks. You dont care if you miss class or do your homework because you rather do something fun and you are trying to make yourself believe its not your fault, when it is.    Read more...

Question by Zoe: How to stop my phone addiction?
So I have two friends that text me everyday. If I dont text back at first then they just text again in like 10 minutes. This goes on almost all day. If I do text them back they have extremely long conversations and if I just stop texting they continue to text me! If I ignore them for a long time they automatically think that I am mad at them. I usually do text them back cut not because I want to but because I am trying to be friendly. I think that all of my texting has turned into an addiction. I have noticed that I have to have my phone with me at all times. If I dont have it with me a feel anxious and I am continuously thinking about it. I can keep myself away from it, but I am always thinking about it. How can i make this stop!    Read more...

Stop posting questions on Yahoo! Just kidding. But seriously, can you solve a problem with the problem?

It’s like any other addiction, I deal with it too. Ask yourself what hole the addiction is filling and fill it with something else. Are you on the web because you’re avoiding something? Face it. Are you on the web because you’re lonely? Find real friends. Just killing time? Find a hobby.
