I'm addicted to my iPhone and Facebook
I'm so addicted to my phone and fb that I don't do anything the while day rather i waste all my time on fb or just texting. I don't know wat to do. This is d last year of school and I really wanna study hard and get in a good college but I can't cause I never study bcoz of fb. I just study in tuitions and I know that's not gonna help me fr exams although my cousins and parents keep telling me to stop using it I just am not able to. I have even tried to deactivate my account but I just keep coming back. If my parents switch off d Wi-Fi I just start playing games. Wat do I do? Please help me. Is there any way that I can limit my time on fb and my phone?

This is hilarious, i'm addicted to my iphone to and a facebook and i can't get off of it? And if you go off for a bit you feel like your missin out on things right? Well my mom only gives it to me on weekends because if tht reason and trust me soon it gets boring, and just delete your apps or give your phone to your mom
Are you THAT weak and soft-headed? Listen to yourself! Technology is making you STUPID! Turn it off before it ruins what's left of your pointless life!
If you really want to get good grades in your exams and want to go in a good college then you should make a timetable on how much time you gonna spend on doing study and on phone, cause honestly I use to do that and I didn't get the grades I expacted to get but after I decided that phone Is just waste of time because at the end your not going to achieve anything by spending your time on phone 24/7 where as paying attention more on studies, will pay you off when you get older.
I hope you get what IIm trying to say and should really start to think, if you want to study or waste your time on phone.
Start by limiting yourself. Set a specific time and how long you want to use Facebook.
Write down what you did before Facebook - maybe then you'll be motivated to do something else.
Finally, change your settings to no longer receiving notifications.
As far as the phone goes…
If you have the Facebook app, delete it or otherwise don't have on your home screen. At least then it will give you a chance to think twice before you randomly look at Walls.
What I usually do is I do a little bit of homework each time, and then reward myself with probably about 5 minutes of my phone. That way, the more homework I do, the more those 5 minutes add up, and the more time I have on my phone.
(When all else fails, lock your phone away.)
I don't think it's funny and it's cruel of others to be making fun of you for it. I think you should consider replacing your iphone with another phone, one that is very plain and has very few abilities (you know, like one that you can pick up for like £19.99 or something like that), that can litterally only be used for making phonecalls and sending text messges
something along the lines of this http://shop.tescomobile.ie/phones/displayPhone.aspx?p=122, but go into the phone shop and explain that you want something that can't do facebook/twitter etc.
give your iphone to your mother/father to mind until you have your exams done (after all you will want the phone back once you have your good grades and your addiction under control)
as for facebook, you could ask your parents to turn on parental control on your laptop and the family computer and set them so that they can only be used for a certain amount of time each day, after which the machine will automatically swich off. So lets say, if they set the allowed time to 2 hours per day, if you switch on the machine at 9am and leave it switched on, it will automatically switch off at 11am, whatever you are doing.however, if you switch it on at 9am, stay of for 30mins then turn it off and don't turn it on again until 6pm you still have 1.5hours (ie.until 7.30pm) before it switches off on you. This may be an option for you.
if you are not sure how to do this i can get my husband to write a step by step instruction and e-mail it to you if you like. This way you still have some facebook but at the same time you also have time for your studies and time to learn how to live life without checking FB all the time.
hope this helps.
