Alright guys! I'm allowed to have my internet and WattPad back! If you didn't know, I had them taken away. Yes, my mom did shorten the length of that punishment. I just can't exactly text. No big deal honestly.
To be quite frank, I like it better without a phone sometimes. It sounds insane, but it's the truth. I had an addiction to the Internet and my phone. Sure, I joked about it before, but I never realized the full extent of my addiction. It actually extremely sad to think back and remember being on my phone. Never once was I outside.
Parents; you need to make your children take a break from their phones. Get them outside more, no matter how much they protest! I'm thankful to my parents for taking away my phone. I think all in all it really gave me new life. Even for the short time that the phone was gone. I've heard other stories about phones being taken away all summer, and some even being smashed with hammers. Those kids now don't even like phones. They don't WANT phones.
To me, without a phone your true nature comes out. Instead of being attached to a phone, you go outside frequently. I think that this really opened up my eyes. At first, yes, I complained a lot. I had no idea what to do! Now, I can think of so many more fun things to do than being on my phone, staring at a screen. People need to realize that they don't need phones, take a break. If you think somethings bad for you, take a break from it. See where you are in a couple of days. Your conclusion will amaze you!
(I literally realize that I basically just wrote a school essay. That's sad.)
