I spend all day on the phone. As soon as I get up, I turn on Netflix, which then runs while I get ready for school and pack my backpack. While driving to school, I listen to music. When I'm alone during the breaks, I also listen to music, on the way home too. When I get home, I watch Netflix again until I go to sleep. This of course usually delays this. When I turn off my phone I get kind of nervous, I can't handle the silence. Then I'm often irritated because of small things, but above all I'm extremely bored. Before I got a cell phone years ago, I had a lot of hobbies. I read a lot and loved to do handicrafts and sewing, I was totally creative. Now I don't feel like doing any of that anymore. I also run out of ideas and feel dull. I've tried withdrawal from certain apps, but I never made it through.
I do not want that anymore! I don't want to be so dependent on this part anymore! I want to have fun again with the things I used to like, I want to be me again! Do you have a suggestion for me?
Give your cell phone to your parents. Then they can lock it up at certain times.
That will definitely help!
Limited screen time. Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with it, although I have the same problem. We should both study more for school.
Limited screen time is only useful if you can't extend it yourself.
Therefore the parents should intervene there. But unfortunately I had no experience with it.
