How sad is this!!

In China there will be a 10-day Camp to accommodate youngsters between the ages of 14 and 22, who are having to be treated for depression, inability to interact with others, panic and fear - all because of internet addiction! They will be arriving at this Camp google-eyed, desperately hoping for a cure.

Around 2.6 million of the Country's Internet users (aged under 18) are apparently classed as "addicts".

Very sad indeed.

Yep, typical reaction saviour :-)

Does it make me happy ... hmmmm... depends who I'm talking to. I can only take it for so long personally, because I feel it fills my head with negative energy beyond a certain point.

I'm glad I don't have my own computer, because I feel I maybe would become one of the above addict-types.

That's not how it goes:

And I wonder (yes, I wonder)
Yes, I wonder (oh, I wonder)
Is this the way life's meant to be?

You must maximise your internet hours in that case then, how could you go about doing that I wonder?

Has anyone else an addiction to the BBC News website? Most people in my work seem to be on it all the time. I don't personally see the appeal.

Betti, I am addicted to your posts. I thought I'd recovered having gone so long cold turkey, but now you go and get me hooked all over again

That's because of a basic lack of understanding as to why the person is upset in the first place... the minds work differently - basic fact of life
