She's been like this for a year ever since she got the laptop. She sits in her room 24/7, she's not eating, lost alot of weight, not sleeping, not going out, not taking care of herself and worst of all she's not attending classes at the university and her marks have gone down considerably! When i talk to her, she's always somewhere else doesn't listen to what i'm saying. She won't even admit that she has a problem. Once i gave her this article to read about internet addiction, she just laughed it off and said "That's not me" I've spoken with her mother and she said she was thinking of disconnecting the internet but she was afraid that by doing that she'll drive her insane! or to do something worse! Someone plz help? I know she needs proffessional help, but how can i help when she's in denial????

well......she surely needs professional help....ask her mother to step in. Take the help of a Professor or any other reliable mature person. good luck

just tell them how there is a real exiting world outside and that she will feel a lot better in the outside air also tell her to call someone or text that would get her to talk a little bit more.

well obviously you like the internet too ........ or els you wouldnt be here........so take your own advice before you can help her out........... i love the computer myself and i spend at least 10 hours a day on it.......so am i addicted??? it depends on the person and your friend doesnt seem like she has a problem so there is no helping her. until she thinks she has a problem

you can chat with her in net. ask why she was interesting anytime in net. And describe her personality, her behaviour to others and friends. don't leave her in Internet.

Don't talk to her on this subject. She will leave it her own.
