I think I'm addicted to the internet?

Looking back at my life, before I had a computer and smart phone I mostly played outside, I hung out with friends. I was much much more active. My parents got me a computer back in 07 and since than I have been addicted since. When I had school the first thing after getting home was to get on the computer or check my iPhone for the rest of the night. Now I'm done with HS and now it's like I feel like this internet addiction has taken over my life. I literally spend 9+ hours a day in front of the computer or on my iPhone. I tried parental controls to limit my on screen time, but I usually just turn it off after 10 minutes. I have very very bad self control. I will literally have 50+ tabs open at once on my internet browser. I've tried to get off the computer and just step away but its a lot harder than you'd think. It's like my whole life is dependent on the internet. I've tried to think of what I would be doing right now if I didn't have the internet, what kind of hobbies I would have If I didn't have the internet and I'm completely lost. I don't know what to do. I guess I could go outside, but I got nothing to do outside. Like I'm just lost without the internet. I feel like one of those people from Wall-E. It's so hard to just step away.

Added (1). Like I will tell myself to just get on the computer for 20 minutes or an 45 minutes but that usually turns into 5, 6, 7, 10 hours. I have a problem.

Added (2). It's almost like a drug. Whenever I tell myself I'm not going to get on the computer it's like my impulses kick in and I do it anyways. I have such bad self control. I feel awful!

Are these fake iphones or authentic?

Hi! I was looking for second-hand phones when I saw these iphone 5 & 5s being sold on instagram for 8000 php - 14500 php ($170 - 300). These units are claimed to be imported from Japan and were unlocked via GPP. The sellers claim that these phones are authentic. However at that price range, it seems too good to be true. What do you think? Any thoughts about gpp unlocked phones?

I think I'm addicted to the internet? - 1

Is there a such thing as an internet addiction? I spend well over 9+ hours a day on the computer or on my iPhone. I try to cut down on my internet usage but nothing works, if I use parental controls I'll just turn it off 10 minutes later. I have very bad self control. How can I stop this addiction?

Added (1). I tried thinking of what I can do if I didn't have the internet, and I'm completely lost. I really don't know what to do with my life or how to do anything without the internet. I think my whole life is dependent on the internet in some way.

Did I just get screwed by verizon?

I just renewed my contract with Verizon on a new iPhone 6s plus. I went the monthly finance payment of ~$27 for 24 months, which in the end after the 24 months equals the full retail value of the phone paid. Realizing that, I thought the deal with renewing a contract was to get a discount on the phone. I see now I'm still paying full price for the phone and locked into another 2 year contract. My wife wants a 6s plus now but her contract isn't up for another year. She can get one now but has to pay full price up front. We're both paying full price in the end so what's the difference?

Buying an iPhone online (eBay)?

I need a new iPhone, an iPhone 6, same as what I have right now. I don't have an upgrade with Apple so it is very expensive. Some eBay ones say they are new and have sold hundreds. Most say the phones are unlocked, I'm not even sure what that means. Are they the same as buying them at an AT&T store like I normally do?

How to get away from my family? I hate them so much?

I seriously have a horrible dysfunctional family I'm miserable here I just turned 17 yesterday and my mom was calling me stupid and stuff at my birthday dinner and then my dad shows up and doesn't even talk to me or say happy birthday and then he gave my sister an IPHONE 6 at my birthday dinner and all he gave me was 40 dollars… He didn't bother saying anything like happy birthday to me and that really ruined my day. Like out of all days why does he choose my birthday to give my sister a phone? And of course my mom was defending him. I'm always arguing my mom because she's rude cranky and evil and also a horrible mom she let my sister drop out of school at 14. The only place I feel happy is at school and not at home. I gave my friend a ride to school and my mom was yelling at me like crazy in the car and I can't freakin take it no more I went on a family vacation last week and she left me and my sister somewhere without our phones so she can go gamble and she never came back to get us so my sister went to go look for her and I lost both of them so I went to security to call her and she cussed me out so bad for losing my sister and I just burst out crying. I can't take it how the hell can I get out of this house if i don't have a lot of friends

Is the Lifeproof case good for everyday use?

Is the Lifeproof case good for everyday use? - 1

Added (1). I just want to know if all of you use your Lifeproof case daily or only in water situations… I have an iPhone 6 and I never want anything to get into it, but I never plan to bring my phone into water on purpose. I currently have the Lifeproof Fre case- is it good for everyday use? Do you use it as your daily case?
