I know some kids who spend about 7 hours of their time on the internet a day,
and they don't see a problem.

So how many hours do you spend online?
and do you see it as a problem?

It's about seven hours on and off. Today it rained, so I'm inside. Tommorow, everyone is gone, so I'm inside. What better thing to do than NG.


You know you wanna be one.

Far too long, if I'm not online, I'm either playing computer or videogames.

But it's summer vacation and I have nothing better to do. The street I live on has almost no one my age, and my best friends all live out in the middle of nowhere.

So it's either games and internet or sitting in front of the tv rotting my brain.

Okay. School does not make a life. School is something your forced to go to. Don't any of you have girls where you live? You guys should think about getting one of them. They come in "handy".

I spend about half the day on the internet. That's because I don't have a job and I'm not in school.

I work overnight, so when I'm off on the weekends, or before and after I go to work, it's too late or early to really do anything else.

At 3 am on a Saturday night there's little else besides the internet for someone who hates going to clubs. I don't drink, and I don't hang out with my friends when they do.


So often times it happens, that we live our lives in chains, and we never even know we had the key...

I spend about 6 or 7 hours on the internet on and off. I'll probably spend like 4 or 5 hours in the next few days because school is starting back on Wednesday.

define life

Friends you hang out with in real life, away from a computer, on a regular basis. Also a girlfriend would qualify as a life.

I would qualify for your definition of life, but im sure many people would disagree with your definition.

I'm on the computer a lot but I recently started playing CSS so I haven't been on Newgrounds much. I spend from pretty much 6:30 to 11 or 12 on weekdays. so 4 or 5 hours.

I don't think I'm addicted to the internet, even though I'm online a good 8 hours.

But, It's normally at night, since it's summer, so I'm up all the time.

During school years, I'm on masybe 2-4 hours a day, but again, it's normally later on in the day.

I'm basically on the internet in my free time, which is a lot, i a friend calls me I'll go over, but most of my friends are lame asses, so that's not a lot of the time.

So a good bit. But what else I'm I supposed to do? I'd just be watching T.V. and this way, I'm actually communicating with people.
