I was once addicted to the comuter i just cant seem to stop even though i had nothing to do. People are even worse they skip school just to go to the computer now thats really addicted. So dont worry some of us get the bills and the parents blame us for wasting their money...lol Heres a some things you can do to not get addicted:
Join a sport do something productive that doesnt include the computer, make that sacrafice.
Or unplug you computer unless it is an emergency or homework for the whole day, just be busy enough to get out from the internet and keep your mind off it.
Watch TV be w/friends & family, just have fun without it.
Take Care

You see? I spend A LOT of time on the computer and most times, my mom doesn't like it. However, the other day we had a talk and I had good arguments that shows I'm not addicted:
-I don't refuse going out or doing anything to be on the computer
-It doesn't affect my grades
-I just do it when there's nothing else to do
What seems to be your case though, is that it affects your spelling, for example, and it could be bad for you at school!
As long as you're not stop living your life to stay in front of the computer, you're ok! I stay a lot on, but that's because I have A LOT of free time. If that's your case, just talk to her.. If not, maybe you should rethink about what's best for you in the long run!

They have 12 step programs and support groups for this. See link below. I myself don't need a support group. I never have withdrawls because I have a laptop and a Motorolla Q with unlimited broadband. I never leave the net and the net never leaves me. :)

Don;t worry. when you have been on the coomputera bit to long, stop, pick up a book, and relax your eyes for a while. after 15 to 30 minutes, go back to your computer.

No, it's alot of fun. As long as you don't actually meet them it's fun to get to know new people
