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?

ASK YOURSELF
How much
time do you
PHYSICALLY meet them?
Do you spend so much time
‘OFFLINE’?
ONLINE
