I think having a license just makes you busier which does keep you away from the internet. If a teen did have an internet addiction finally driving could very well help them. But there are also many adults who do drive but prefer to spend most of their time on line. Thats where they get their thrill

When I was younger like 5th grade I really had an addiction to the Sims. Do you guys remember that game? Anyway I'd fake sick and stay home and play that game I like made a whole city with all the people that Im friends with, and the ones I hated I'd make them live in ugly houses and give them horrible jobs and no money. I had some fun times with that game and it took quite a while for me to get off of it. MY computer broke and my dad got us a new one and prohibited us to download or install any games on it. I dont play it much anymore.

Wow this is really true. I never spend time with my family anymore and I've never realised that. I come home on holidays and weekends someitmes and I just spend the ride from the airport talking to my parents and a few minutes at dinner. Then attention is swerved to the TV and I go off with friends. I know I'll end up regretting this. I wanna go home this weekend now and change this scenario. Maybe go to the lake with my parents or something we can all do together.

You know how there are some rare diseases where a person is alregic to the sun, or has to be in a certain temperature or their organs just stop. I wonder if they start suffering from depression. Or do you think that since they've lived with it their whole lives it just doens't affect them much.

What types of medicine do they give to people with PTSD? Just like Antidepressants? Or are there other perscriptions.. I think its pretty crazy how things that bothered us in the past can haunt us down even when were not realising it.

I think companies should make a few generic brands that work just as good as the name brands.Or find a way for people who cant afford the name brand ones to be able to afford it. I mean I pay $300 car payments, $200 car insurance, $1400 house payments and big fat electricity bills, $500, this isn't including my cell phone house phones and just spending money that I have to spend every month, I cant imagine also having to pay another $250 for medications. Might aswell get a second job!

My sister is like this. If she falls and I laugh she'll go crazy and get totally upset. Or  if I tease her in anyway she'll get so upset and just throw a big fit. I cant play around with her or anything its either I talk to her about serious things or laugh at something else. It drives me crazy, but thats her and theres not much I can do. Lately what I've been doing though was telling her how she gets mad over the dumbest things and then when she does I'll point it out to her. She gets even more upset but maybe it'll kick in her head someday. But my sister is younger, maybe your friend is more mature to handle the truth. I would mention it to her.

I think seeing someone, anyone with this bad of an addiction the best thing to do is plan for an intervention. And if the person utterly refuses and is impossible to deal with, thats when its time to just abandon them and stay as far away from them as possible.

A leading Cumbrian drug expert says that reclassifying the drug marijuana from class C to B is, “like rearranging the deckchairs on the titanic.” He agrees that there are mental health problems associated with marijuana but it’s not even close to harm done by other drugs particularly alcohol which remains legal.  All you have to do is read the newspaper to see what a problem we have with alcohol, from older people with liver problems to young people causing themselves and others harm by excess drinking. If the drugs were classified in what harm they do we would find alcohol well above marijuana. And cannabis use has decreased.

I agree with him that toughening cannabis laws is pointless. There are much more dangerous drugs that we need to be worrying about, also even if the laws were toughened I really doubt it will lower cannabis use.
