Addiction

Are friends and families

leeching away from

me?

Sometimes I have to lie to people that I am not using

the Internet

Time flies so fast when I am online..

People keep nagging at me when I

am using the InternetInternet

turns me into a

procrastinator

Have these situations

ever bothering

you?
