    Obsessed with music
    About a year ago, music started really meaning a lot to me. I had always loved it, but it has started becoming impossible to live without it. I have my iPod on all the time and scrawl lyrics on my school books. If someone turns a cd down or off I automatically turn and shout at them, or sometimes burst into tears. If the music isn't there I panic and feel like I can't go on living. This separates me from my mother (who doesn't like the same types of music as me) and my friends (for the same reason). I don't know what to do anymore. I can't carry on like this, but I feel like the world will cave in without it...

    Put the iPod down and walk away.

    You have to want to stop in order to stop.

    Don't cut music out from your life but don't let music cut you out from having a life.

    Get busy and focus on other things. Get a part-time job, go volunteer, clean your room and help your parents with chores.

    Maybe you could talk to a school counsellor?
    Or try getting involved in an activity like a sport to take your mind off it :)

    I say if music makes you happy then listen to it a lot but always make time for family, friends and school. And if you don't want to just make just you go out of your way and give them enough time to keep everyone happy.

    Music is something to enjoy,it isn't something that should rule your life,I think you should keep music as an important part of your life but also find other things that you enjoy.Good luck !

    Even good things when taken to extremes can be bad, so I agree perhaps cold turkey for a while, put the music away, in fact your parents should have taken it away from you if they have noticed this
