• Know that you're addicted

 

Well, too much internet time is considered to be, Internet addiction. Knowing stuff makes you powerful. Likewise, you should first know whether or not you're an internet junkie. Chances to use internet are, when you do a research on whatnot, creating ideas to your individual project, watching some videos on youtube regarding your chemistry lesson, or whatsoever. Thinking of those tasks, you open your web browser and if your first tab is "Facebook", "Google plus", "Yahoo" or some other not essential websites, you know what your addiction is.

• You're not the only person with this issue
  
                  
  
  Knowing your weakness is better than neglecting it anyway. Once you notice your addiction, don't be embarrassed because, you are not the only one with this matter. More and more people are getting addicted to internet, it's just unstoppable.
  
  
• Create a Plan to prevent internet addiction
  
  
  
  Plan your week. Allocate time to reach your goals. Study your subjects and don't forget to reward yourself. Only after you're finished with your work, you will surf the internet, eat and watch TV. Likewise, control your thoughts and you'll be controlling your mind, the most powerful source in universe. Make worth use of it.There's a saying,

  "I don't stop when I'm tired
  I stop when I'm done"

  Once you get home after school, complete your homework and study today's work. And your bonus reward; you will feel better knowing you've finished your homework early. If can, read books or research at the library instead of browsing internet for information.  
  
  
• Get a hobby which take you out of internet
   
  Join a sports club (swimming, badminton, cricket or any other sport you prefer). If you are a reader, join a public library. If you have music running inside your veins, learn to play an instrument (piano, guitar, violin). If you love gardening, turn your garden into a butterfly paradise. If you love photography, travel various places ad enjoy yourself. If you prefer drawing, start to learn new drawing tricks and draw, draw, and draw. Practice makes you perfect. If you are a stamp collector or a coin collector, join a community of your kind and raise you stamp or coin collection way up.
  
  Just involve in something better and natural. Because, when we have a habit, we can't miss it. Avoid even thinking of wasting time surfing internet. Don't lie to yourself.
• Hang out with friends
  
  
  
  During your spare time, don't forget to go to big screen with your best buddies to enjoy a movie. And plan field trips if you prefer traveling. The point I'm making is, enjoy your life with your best friends around you.
  
  Without making instant messages, be used to make calls to your friends. You can even tell your best buddy of your internet addiction problem and he/she'll probably help you out with it.
• Limit social networking
  
  
  This is so very important. Internet junkies often spend a lot of time in social network sites, chatting with people and even making inappropriate relationships. That's completely lunacy. Don't ever replace real relationships with virtual.
  
  That doesn't mean that, Social Networking is bad or unworthy. It is up to you to make correct use of it. Limit your time in Facebook, twitter, MySpace, Google plus and other websites.

  "Don't be a slave of technology.
  Instead,
  Make technology your slave "

  
  
  WARNINGS!
  
  
  1. Don't eat meals in front of your computer.
  2. Limit your internet time. Use an alarm clock or a timer.
  3. Don't lie to yourself. It is a big mistake.
  4. Always, try to calm down and control your mind to do, what you really want to do.
