And I was addicted to neopets. Here is my story.
by Dayelle
About 2 years ago, I found out about neopets from a friend at school. That was when we got the internet.. I made an account (dayelle_102), I was under 13, and
desperately wanting to go on the boards. I made my mom fax it in. Weeks later, I was in! yay me right??? About a month later, my close friend was frozen, for unknown reasons... TNT didn't know why she was frozen. She emailed the "Support" Staff, and
hasn't been heard from since. She quit neo.. and I was happier. I could join a guild, and I could be whoever I wanted to be. I
didn't have to be dayelle... I could be a rich girl that shopped at Juicy Couture.. I could be WHOEVER I wanted to be... and no one could tell me otherwise. Then, one day, I was frozen. I
don't know why.. TNT "didn't know why I was frozen". What did I do??? I came back... Spent countless hours gaining the avatars and neopoints that I once had.. Then I was frozen.. People think that it had something to do with the fact that
I made 1 mil in 1 month. I came back.... Countless accounts frozen. I was addicted.. Promptly making new email
addresses so I could have more accounts... Today, no joke, I have 19 email addresses, and all of them have 4 neopets accounts. Its sad. I know. I have one main account now, and 4 side accounts. I am a rule breaker, I make neopoints on them. My main is (Dayellezo), it is probably my best account so far.. I have a great guild... Lots of neopoints, and one day, I was on the Avatar Chat, and someone was posting advertisements for this website. I thought it was one of those "Make 1 mil! Just
gimmie your password to get it", but then I read it. I added you on aim, and that was 1 month ago... I came back, read them over again, and printed some articles. I followed the steps to quitting.. well, I am right now. I made the list. here it is:
Things I could do instead of neo:
1. Join Volleyball (as my first sport)
2. I could chat on aim more... to my friends.. and new friends.
3. I could listen to more music.. and get in to it more.
4. I could practice my clarinet more (I am lagging behind)
5. I could read more.. (I used to always read)
6. I could draw . . . (one of my "neofriends" draws.. It seems fun.
7. I could knit more... (I used to be SOOO good)
8. I could take up painting.
9. I could email my friends and family more often.
10. I could call my friends more often...
11. I could go to places with my friends...
12. I could have my own sleepover
13. I could join another site... Less addictive of course.
14. I could go outside with my friends, and exercise. hehe.
I now realize how many countless hours WASTED that I was on neopets.com.. they were POINTLESS. I was just collecting FAKE items that can not me of use in the real world.. I mean, if I
didn't come across your site.. I could be playing in my college years.. and maybe until I die... Thank you sooooooooo much. I love your site. Hell, I LOVE YOU for making it. hehe.
Toodleoo!
