Source and full article

Oh wow. Somewhere in the article, the head of one of the boot camsp describes addicted as "being on 6 hours a day and showing little interest in school". Well, are you?

Protip : If you get more than five hours you are addicted. Get off the pc, you sad Phoronida. You are a failure at life.


Also, if we don't see Bloodthir for a few years, we know what happened.

3-4 max

After school I have to do some useless shit, chores, then later on I eat dinner and do homework which usually takes quite some time.

3-4, I spend too much time multitasking, makes everything take longer.

1-2.

I have sports and homework and friends and shit

3-4 after homework and if nothing else comes up

3 to 4, if that includes shouting at you.

woohoo im not the only one spending 4 houers a day

0-2.

Some days I just don't bother going on. I rarely spend more than an hour on though.

1-2 hours for me.

12-13 hours a day including 8 hours at work.
Only if I don't go out at night though... then it's like 8-9 hours if I went out.

This article is stupid imo. The way doctors see it is everyone has a problem these days and needs a "cure" so they are quick to make the patient to think they are sick so they get filled with prescription medication. Then they need more meds to take care of the side effects from the first set of pills they are taking and it's a long destructive chain. It's money in their pockets and it's ruining the youth. The whole article down talks the kids in the boot camp and they get locked up like criminals because the kids have a hobby that the parents can't relate to.

This article is:

i agree, i pretty much go on 5 hours unless i go skating or something else comes up. I always have breaks and stuff though.

Parents are trying to get a quick fix to their bad parenting.

eh, I randomly go on and off, I play rs while doing homework, makes it take longer but go by faster.

also, why, in the BLUE hell would they send them to boot camps? as long as they are doing nothing wrong why?

Because it's China.

In Communist China, boot camps means that it's small children making shoes.

2 - 3 hours.

Usually, I finish homework during lunch. Unless i'm studying, I'm usually on myspace, GMOD, CSS, or TF2

Usually four hours, though it usually can last up to 10 hours due to Photoshop, looking around for stocks ect.

Otherwise you know, I like to melt out here in 114 degree weather, so I just morph into my pool and get under swimsuits, and sucked into filtering systems.

Worst case scenario, I go out with 'people' who deem me a friend, and melt with them, unless were in an a/c'ed car, which usually isn't the case.

Don't get me started on homework, Senior year is bad? When I'm in College, I'll be virtually tearing open a window in the Earth's atmosphere with all the work I'll be burning, and that'll take more time to kill the flame than it will have to start it. Then again I can just let it burn...

Yup, from how it's looking I'll be virtually on all day pretty soon...

So you're Gertjaars?

If I still played Runescape, totally would!

This isnt a topic to joke around on. Personal health is a vry srs issue. plz respect the original poster's wishes.

I'm so buying Nike shares now

That's so true, i'm bored of listening to my mother saying that i'm too addicted to computer...
You know... what does she wants me to do ? Everything people do around here is something i don't like doing. First lets starts with the Soccer/Football call it whatever you want.Thats what everyone here do, everywhere you go. Meh, Brazil sucks.

totally agree, soccer.football sucks

1-2 hours on a school day. I'm just too busy to be on more.

My mom seems to think i'm on the computer too much, and I kindly remind her about the national Geographic article on the bootcamp. The kids who go there are the kind who literally assault their parents if they try to get them off the computer. Compared to those kids, i'm really, really good.

I have no idea how many exactly, but definitely more than five. It differs per day, but the fact that I'm studying computer science probably has something to do with it. We spend all day doing stuff on our computers at school. It's impossible to do without, so that pretty much forces me to use my computer a lot.
