I had gone past computing addiction. At least, I will not use my
computer for the whole day. I will use 4 - 5 hours on weekdays, 4 -
5 hours on Saturdays, 6 - 8 hours on Sundays, 4 - 5 hours on public
holidays and 4 - 5 hours on examination days.
My parents are still dissatisfied, despite me coming from an
Express class. I know there will be streaming next year and I need
to work hard to choose the subject combinations I like. I know.
They just don't understand.
I had thought of these solutions to solve this problem once and
for all.
1 Bring the Internet cable and laptop to another place
to surf my computer.
2 Go to my friend's house to see if they have a spare
computer for me to use.
3 Work hard for my studies and improve my results during
Mid-Year examinations.
4 Learn to rebel against my parents in this
issue.
5 Talk to the person who started this issue (my tuition
teacher) and let him understand my situation better.
6 Go out during my free time.
7 Surrender and find other stuff to do. 
8 Ask a counsellor to effectively solve this
problem.
9 Find a new tuition teacher and ask him or her on his
or her opinions.
10 Commit suicide and end your life.
11 Kill my parents.
12 Let school solve this problem.
13 Save up to buy a wireless modem so that I can use
anywhere I want.
(Need parent's consent? I hope not.)
What I don't like it to
be
Sorry if you don't mind but I have to chip in and have my say of
word, young forum mate.
I find it rather disturbing when I saw your points 10 and
11.
So you will rather end your life because the lack of freedom to
use the computer, and even to the extend of killing your own
parents?
I'm rather horrified by the way teenagers are thinking now, we
are becoming more and more like Japan. Singapore education system
seriously need a major revamp.
If that is the case that you are thinking, then I think your
parents should completely remove the computer from your life and
kill your addiction of typing the keyboard and facing the computer
scrren all day. You are already very lucky to have a computer and
internet to use, because your parents sponsor you all these, and
now you want to kill them for this? Please think properly.
If you want your freedom, earn for it, like what you say in
point 3.
Some of us, during our era, do not even have computer, and don't
mention the internet, since IT technology was so primitive back
then. Be happy of what you can get now.
