Internet addiction?!??!?!?!?!?

Question by Afraid7738863: Internet addiction?!??!?!?!?!?
My sister just did a speech about internet addiction, and how its really serious, and people actually get help for it and stuff
and she said the whole time she was doing it, she thought it was me
( im not like worried or anything, its just the internet)
but im wondering, do i need help?
Whenever my mum doesnt turn on her computer ( im 15 ) i get into a MASSIVE fight with her
and sometimes i even cry ( pathetic i know )
theres never a day where im not on it for atleast an hour
and right now, i have been on it since 8am this morning, and now it is 12, so thats like 4 hours STRAIGHT
just wondering, where do you actually get help for internet addiction?
any help would be appreciated!! xx

I’m the same way, hehe, I am creative and so I always write and make art online and talk to friends. Idk but it’s not too serious.

4 hours? I do 6 minimium. Feed the addiction!

Well okay, you should at least try and regulate yourself if you think you’re spending too much time on it. As long as it’s not getting in the way of your social life though, you really needn’t worry. Everyone loves the internet. I love the internet. The internet. Oh yes, feel the love now? Good. You’re now an addict again =]
