You are making choices in your life here. I know exactly what you are talking about, and how "addicting" being on the Internet can be.

But, please remember that it is a choice that you make. You are in control. Do you want to be in control of the things that you do in your life? I hope that your answer will be "Yes." Then make the choices about how you will spend you time.

I would ask yourself the following question, "Am I in control, or is it in control of me?"

You are also in control of the choices that you make to be involved with your family as well as friends. Please choose wisely. You are in control of making those decisions.

Hopefully, others will come along with their opinions as well as advice.
