Recently I've been badly addicted to the Internet
Youtube, Facebook, Webtoons and much more.
How bad is it?
For example, I would sit down to study, then the next thing I know, I am surfing Internet, searching for viral videos, chatting on fb, etc. etc.
Whats even worse is that I would do this for hours and hours until.... like past midnight
And as a result of my lack of responsibility, my grades dropped, I stopped reading, gained weighs, lost my parent's trust.
However, during this summer, I really want to study, start reading again or at least do something productive.
To do so, I believe quitting internet would be my first step.
So, give me suggestions on what to do to escape INTERNET ADDICTION. (anything helps :D ) and if you've had experiences with internet addiction, tell me how you managed this problem.
thank you :)

Lol!
This reminds me of when I was addicted X)
I guess it would be a teem thing, but you'll either get out or grow out of it.
I used to be on facebook so much after being persuaded to join, to stay in contact with my friends who were of school leaving age. But after a while, the games got boring, them when I left secondary school, them amount of people I spoke to significantly dropped, and the updates became infuriating.
But what really helped was when I lost my smartphone and had to replace it with a brick phone that has no internet or camera. Not wasting time on facebook have me time to study, do my projects, put more time into my other two addictions on the internet, and I slowly lost that daily interest in other websites. Now, I find that I only use facebook for my page, youtube for music more than watching videos, and more time can go into other things like finding a job university searching, emails, studying, playing video games on physical consoles, etc.
Sometimes you have to make your access to your addictions very tough, so you're less likely to attempt to access them all the time.
You could get someone you trust to put an internet connection manager on your computer(s) and limit the number of hours per day you get. If you want to use it all up straight away, that's fine, you'll have no internet for the rest of the day and will have to study.
What's better, though, is if you use your allowance as a treat, do your study first and then spend your hours as you've earned them. It's a good mindset to get into.
The best way is to find things to do that do not involve the use of the internet.
Spend time with your friends or family.
Go on walks or find fun hobbies to do outside.
You can find a good book to read or draw.
Get involved with after school activities to get extra credit.
Start trying to find a part-time job.
these are just a few things, I hope these tips help.
