The addiction

When I was little, I used to play outside and ride my bike all around the park. I also played strategy games like board games, card games, some Nintendo 64 and also some computer games like Age of Mythology and Age of Empires. My life changed when I was nine and I started to play on the internet.
Some of my friends from my school told me about a game where you can play online with other people. At first, it seemed boring to me but I gave it a try and it was fun because it was three dimensional, and I could fight monsters. This was often all a kid’s fantasy that I kept playing it, to the point that by time, it became boring.
Some of my other friends played different games, and I started playing the same games they were playing. These games had more graphics and had better child fantasies. The more I got into the games the more I never went out. They were so fun that I stayed at the computer all day. In these games, I was able to choose what kind of characters I wanted to be and the powers I could have like flying, super-strength, and shape-shifting. In these games, I also had missions and quests that I had to complete to achieve a new level or get new power, weapons or money.
I played on the computer because there were people to talk to while in my immediate neighborhood I did not know anyone so I had no one to play outside with. On the computer games, I got to play with my friends and other people in a virtual world and I did not feel as lonely. I also, liked the fact that it was something I was good at and it made me feel empowered, like I could do anything.
After a while my mother and my sister were getting worried about me because I wasn’t going to bed in time, I was not spending any time with my family, and I was not doing anything else than playing on the internet. My sister changed the computer password but I went on another account and changed the password back to normal. She tried taking away my screen plug but I found another one and used it and kept it a secret from her then she found out and took away my internet. I found a way to get back so I kept playing but then one day they brought my computer downstairs. There was no connection down stairs, so I was only able to play computer games bought from stores.
It made me frustrated that I could not play anymore online games. I felt a want to get back at my sister and my mother that I found foolish and mean to me by being unpleasant to them and by refusing to cooperate. My mom brought me to a family psychologist and I hated how he asked so many questions. As I did not want to go back and see him again, I agreed to behave and be more mature.
I know that my family taking away my internet was the best for me. It helped me a lot on my addiction. I spent more time with my family and my friends. I understand now that unfortunately, I wasted most of my last two years on my computer games. Thanks to my family’s reaction and concerns, I have learned that I have a big problem, and that I need to learn how to control it by limiting my time on the internet and making more time for other activities and people.
