Maybe give some free advice about: Random Weirdos?
you could block all the websites that you usually go to and so whenever you get on the computer you have anything to do on it. you will get really bored and go find something else to do.

i have the same prob. i dont really know how to cure it because well im still here! i feel i can leave the comp more if have a away message up on aim because im still signed on and i feel like i wont miss anything. if your not aloud to keep on up i would recomend going to www.imforwards.com. also if your going to be on try not to waste time do something with your time like i starting making xanga layouts. try planning stuff with your friends or family so your not on here like go out to ice cream or something. or limit yourself like tell yourself you can only be on an hour a day and if your on longer you have to put a dollar in a jar and donate it or something. hope i helped

Break your keyboard. Haha no just kidding. If it helps just plan out a list of thigns you can do other than the computer, and really stick to it. Playing a sport, cleaning your room, etc. You might find it easier to commit to something if somebody is depending on you. Like say you call a friend or two to go somewhere - you gotta go because you said you would. If you have like AIM or something, tell some of your friends to tell you to get off when you sign on and stuff. You know what also might help, for when you need to get something done, set a time for its due earlier than it has to be done. For example: you have to clean your room before you go to sleep, which would be lets say 11.00. In your mind set the time it needs to be done earlier, like a lot earlier like 10.15 or 9.50. Why? Because then you will remember - oh I can't stay on for too long. Hope that helps and good luck.

Get a kitchen timer and set it for how long you really want to spend on the computer. When it goes off, get off the computer and go do something else. Time management is an important and useful skill.

Decide what you want to do with your life, and think about it any time you find yourself on the computer. Print something out, and pin it up above the screen so you see it no matter what. If you're addicted to an internet game, trash it, and don't re-install it. If you're seriously bad about it, give the disk to your parents and tell them not to let you have it for a month or something. Physical exertion is a good way to forget about stuff. When you're addicted, you tend to get adrenaline hits from doing whatever addicts you. Sports helps to release the body's "natural drugs" which include adrenaline, and so you feel good having done it.

You can't really force yourself away from the computer to another thing unless you absolutely cannot use the computer.
Meaning, you'll probably need to unplug it. That what several of my friends did during the school year to let them concentrate, or do something else.

I know exactly how you feel lol. I am so addicted to the computer, b/c you can ALWAYS find something to do on it..But anyways, some other things you can do are.. hang out with friends, talk on the phone, watch tv, go to the movies, make a scrapbook, take pictures, go swimming, lay out in the sun, paint, draw, listen to music, go shopping, go bowling, go to the park, go for a bike ride, babysit, go skating, eat, play pool, play a boardgame, walk your dog, play with your younger sisters or brothers if you have any, well yeah..and i'm sure there are a lot more things you could do. If you want anymore suggestions IM me on AIM. My s/n is BrittanyMichx39.
