TRAINING SCHOOL - You're at school. The teacher blabs on about "SATs Tests".
You are away in another world, chatting to the Faerie Queen. You repeatedly
look at the time. You are waiting for something great... NEOPETS!
"Ding Ding!" The school bell rings. Your teacher announces the long awaited
words: "Class Dismissed". You run out of school, dodging people and pushing
past those in your way.
You enter your house and without hesitation, you press the button which turns
the computer on. You surf the huge world of Neopia. Looking at the frustrated
faces of the Neopians playing "Tower Of Turnips". Watching scared Neopets creeping
up towards the snoring Turmaculus. Neopia is an exciting place of adventure.
Neopets is a Web site PACKED with addiction powder. You look around for a graphic
site, and you suddenly see a small button with a link. You think "let me check
this out!" and BAM! The powder is sprinkled all over you.
You are in the middle of a conversation with one of your Neofriends. It is
lunchtime. Oh well. You forget all about lunchtime and continue surfing the
site.
"LUNCH!" Your mum is bellowing. Your heart is beating so fast and you don't
know what is going on. Oh. It's lunch. You shuffle up to the table and your
mum says "you're hours late". You don't reply. You're daydreaming about winning
the Poetry Competition.
If you spend too many hours a day on Neopets, things could get ugly. Really.
I'm not fibbing. If you are totally lost, I'll give a few things that might
jolly well happen to you.
You are poor, because of all the bills you have to pay. The only piece of property
you have is your smelly computer and a dirty shed you've found in the middle
of a wood, one you call "Mystery Island". You have lost all your knowledge.
You are at school. You call it "Neoschool". It's the BIG exam and you ignore
the questions. Well, you notice one. It is a Maths question where you show your
working out in a box. You don't. Instead, you draw something for the Picture
Competition. You start cutting the picture out, but teacher catches you. She
says "this is garbage" and throws it in the bin and gets you another sheet.
You cry your head off.
Those examples are rather dramatic, huh? You do NOT want to be acting like
that, believe me. Have a good think about what it would be like living as a
sad tramp. Not nice? I suggest you read my sort-of autobiography when I was
AMAZINGLY addicted.
As soon as I wake up I go on Neopets.com. I surf the site for hours. Haven't
got time for homework, breakfast or anything BUT Neopets I don't notice my hunger
or thirst. I forget to get changed. I play on Neopets all day long.
Whoa. I needed some sorting out then. It took a lot of work, but it was worth
it. Follow my times, and you get to play on Neopets, and stay healthy and rich
in the real world!
No school
Wake up... of course. You brush your teeth, have a shower and get dress.
Then go downstairs. Prepare your breakfast. Eat it... of course. Do homework
- if you have homework. Do all your jobs, to be more precise. Think. Have you
got ANYTHING ELSE TO DO? If not, go to the computer. 2 hours or less only. "Lunchtime!"
Rush straight to the table. You've finished lunch. Wait for the others to finish
lunch, if you are first. You clean the table up. Then, complete any chores.
THEN GO ON THE COMPUTER. 2 hours or less only. "Supper!" Eat supper, finished,
clean the table, complete any chores, etc.
School
Don't go on the computer before school. It'll only make you late, and the
info you've picked up on Neopets will stick to your brain during learning time!
Do your homework and chores, then go on the computer for the rest of the day.
Right. Follow those rules and not only will you fight the addiction powder,
but you'll also be the good little girl/boy of the house! |
