Well for every other teenager, 4 hours is probably the norm. But your grandma is right. There are alot of better things you can do then sit at the computer all day, which is easier said then done of course. Try to spend less time on the computer and see what she says. (If you are too desperately addicted, sneak on while she's sleeping or something like that. haha)

Thank God you still have a grandma to talk to, and spend a little more time with her, she won't be around for much more of your life. Take it from one who knows once a loved one is gone, a piece of you goes with them. I recently lost a beloved grandma, and I simply lack the words to describe how lucky you are to still have yours.
Go give her a hug and agree with her, talk to her for awhile and when she falls asleep, kiss her goodnight. Then go back to the computer and give the blogbaba the 10 pts. for an answer that made a grown man start crying over this damn key board thinking about his own grandma that he will never see again
Yeah, it's normal. Now enjoy the fact that she's on your back, it won't be for much longer.

She thinks you spend too much time on the computer because it is something foreign to her. When she was 15 she probably spent four hours listening to the radio (or whatever they did 100 years ago) and was yelled at by her parents. If she won't leave you alone about it just don't use the computer when she is near.

four hours is a lot of time, but it is not abnormal for teens today. why don't you do the math? calculate 4 hours a day for a month or year... then you might change your mind about being on the computer. especially if you think what you have accomplished on the computer and what you could have accomplished with those hours off the computer, you might spend less time online. : ) or not

If the computer is not effecting your social life then it's fine. I spend 5-6 hours on my computer a day (I am 17), but when a friend wants to go have some fun outside the house I am easily hopping off my computer chair. Don't listen to these ignorant people, if you don't feel like going outside and doing pointless things that you don't even like then don't do it. I am sick of people who just respond "GO OUTSIDE!", go outside and do what? You have to have some structure of a plan to actually have fun, simply going outside is not fun. Have fun on your computer man, but if the time comes where your friends or family wants to hang out then go with them :)

Old people deserve respect, Wait till you are about that age..You will see how stubborn you´ll be. Don´t argue with her cause they are pretty much like children. Things have change, it does not mean they are better or worse. Learn whatever you can from her,,,she has ages of good things. Tolerance and patience are a good habit. Don´t argue and she´ll be out of your way. Say hi to her from me ;)

I agree with monika, you suck at grammar. However, 4 hours is definitely NOT too much. I used to be on for 7-10 hours.

Yes, you should spend more time in front of an English book.
