An Addicted Teen on neo
by Ozzie
As many of you well know, neo is an addicting site. I was just one of those majorities of teens on neo and I was addicted as badly as any other. A new pet came out? I was the first one to see it and get it. Well these are my reasons of quitting and, hopefully, my recovery.
There’s only been one time that I really thought of quitting and that was when I basically screwed myself with my guild. If you'd want to know this story just AIM me at LatinCoqui16 or email playasareus69@yahoo.com. But there were many reasons I realized why it would be better for me to leave this site and hopefully they can apply to you and help.
The first reason was, since I'm still a teen, I use my parents electricity. Our bills came so high because of neo but I just brushed it off and ignored my parents complaints. And I wondered why i never got any presents like I used to. I couldn’t because my parents couldn’t afford to buy me much things anymore because of the bill. Another reason was my lack of interests in the more important things. Before neo i used to be a great student. Not a suck-up but I was intelligent. With neo in my life, my grades slowly started slipping because, even during tests, I couldn’t think of anything but neo. I couldn't get projects or homework done because I spent all my time on neo. I started to doing the minimum to conserve time for neo. I even lost a scholarship because I forgot about it because i was to into neo. I couldn't even take showers on time or eat because i was on neo.
I had a friend. Me and this friend were both on neo. now this friend wasn't my only friend but she was the only one who played neo. I couldn't even spend time or even talk with my other friends because I HAD to go talk to her to discuss the new item or pet being released. I even had to say things in code or secret so other people wouldn't know what I was talking about because I was ASHAMED. yes, ashamed of neo. it was too childish and i was afraid I'd be picked on because I play it.
Another reason is because I felt my relationship with my parents growing apart. my mother continuously yelled at me to get off the computer even for a little while. she would cry because I had no time to do the things she asked because of my addiction with neo. My dad had to work harder to get more money because of the money I spent on neo. it was not only them but my friends were beginning to be pushed out of my life. not only that but neo was bad for me. do you know how many headaches I got because of the time I spent on the computer? It even got worse than that. I had no time to spend with my pet (he was dying. AIM or email me for more info) he needed me more than ANYTHING else and I had none to give him. you don't understand how badly he needed me. i was the one who chose if he lived or died and I had no time to spend with him because of neo.
I would often not see my friends outside of school for months. They'd invite me somewhere but I wouldn't be able to go because that new item of id forget to collect my interest or do my dailies. I was even thinking of going through the summer on neo. what was I thinking?! my only time to relax and I'm going to spend it on neo. i started not caring about a thing in the real world and began to enter myself into this fake one. than i found this site and it made me realize everything id lost and will lose if I'm on neo. I thank you for opening up my eyes. to everyone who is reading this, you've all been great friends to me and I hope we meet again soon. you know where to contact me so keep in touch. Goodbye Neo and good riddance.
