Comment on the blog what makes you become an addict and the positive and negative aspects.
I don't think that I'm addicted for something, I do some activities because I want, for example, sometimes I use my cellphone when I want to talk with my friends ir see some photos on internet, I shop because I need some clothes or another things. I don't do that because I'm addicted, I do that because I need things. And I listen music when I have free time, sometimes it can change my humor. So, I don't have an addiction.
ResponderEliminari dont have an addiction i love to do things like listenig music, watching movies and much others but i cant do any of this because of school. This year has been hard for me so i think my addiction is studying i dont have time for other things , the negative aspects are that i dont sleep the required time so im always tired and sleepy
ResponderEliminaryes i am adicti to the video games , will spend more time on it but it will cause that my grades of my school start down but not all are bad for example this adiction will hlp me to concentrate more on general things
ResponderEliminarI admit that maybe my adicction was my cellphone, all the time I was chatting, talking or watching photos, I spend all my day in my cellphone, when I was with my friends I tried not to use it, but somentimes I looked at it.
ResponderEliminarI think that be addicted to something doesn't have positive aspects, but has a lot of negative aspects, like that you feel that you depend of something and you waste your time in things that aren´t important.

I think that I don't have an addiction, maybe I sometimes use muy cellphone all the time because I like to talk with my friends, see people's publications and photos or listen to music, but it isn't always. Also I like so much go shopping because I like to buy new clothes for differents occasions but when I don't have money I'm really the saddest girl. But I consider that this things not are an addiction for me.
ResponderEliminarI don't think I am addicted of something,maybe I sometimes spent a lot of time in some activities but I never depend of that, an example could be the social networks, listen music but I do it for spent my free time
ResponderEliminarYes,maybe i have an addiction, I spend a lot of time going shopping every weekend or everytime i can. I waste a lot of money buying accessories and clothes.
ResponderEliminarshopping makes me feel really relaxed and happy as dance,when i am sad i have two solutions,shopping or dancing both makes me forget my problems.
the disadvantage of being a fanatic of shopping is that I can lose a lot of money buying things that i don´t really need
I don't have an addiction. I mean, I really love going shopping or listening music but everything has a limit. I don't stop eating for money to spend it on clothes. I spend money just in what I like and I need. I listen to music every day and every time I can and I don't think It's bad because I learn a lot with songs, maybe, everything that I know in english is from lyrics of songs.
ResponderEliminarI spend a lot of time listening to music and singing as loud as I can (I don't think it's an addiction), the positive part is that I can improve my english, and negative part is that my mom has to listen to me the whole entire day, I could say that my life is all about music, I have lunch listening to music, I go bed listening to music, everything with music.
ResponderEliminari´m addicted to video games because i like to play a lot it´s very funny. It´s bad because i can´t spend time to study or to get out with friends or do other things, but i think that it´s better be addicted to video games that drugs or beer.
ResponderEliminarI think I am addicted to reading because I am most of the time reading a book or a magazine, in fact something that have letters. For exaple in my bedroom most of the space is ocupied of books, the last time I checked them I had 50, since that day I don´t know how many I have, but I supposed many.I think that the good thing is that it helps you get more knowledgeable and it help you to learn more new words.The bad thing is that I don't study too much because I am reading, so thaat can be bad for my grades.
ResponderEliminarI don't have an addiction, i spend a lot of time listening to music but i don't think that be an addiction because i can keep the control, if i want to stop to do that i can do it, i know when i must stop and if i don't listen to music i don't dispair because is like a hobbie not an addiction.
ResponderEliminarI think the addictions doesn't have positive aspects and the negative aspect is that you spend a lot of time and that hobbie become in an obsession.
In my opinion, when someone is addicted to something it's because there is an excess, and any excess is good or healthy, I'm not addict to anything, but there're a few activities I do sometimes in an excessive way, for example, to ride skateboarding, it's positive because my body and mind are healthier, but of course there are also negative points like hurt my body by fallen down and knocks, and overload my muscles.
ResponderEliminarI spend some time doing different activities like listening to music, doing exercise, watching TV, but I think i'm not addicted to any of those things.
ResponderEliminarWhen I was younger I was addicted to video games. I started playing video games on weekends when I had nothing to do, then I got hooked on them because they were interesting for me, so I started playing them every day and for long ours. After playing for long hours a headache appeared on me, so I was constantly feeling bad and that was annoying so I decided to stop playing video games.
There are different activities that we perform daily, but do not consider them to be as such addictions. However, if we talk about addiction as the activity in which more "waste my time", shopping would become one of this, because I love to do that ALL THE TIME, but I know it may not always be good, although I think that this activity has more positive aspects than bad. For example, when I go shopping immediately my week routine changes and feel happy since that moment, in a nutshell, I feel so really happy go shopping, considering that relaxes my mind from the routine of school and home; another advantage is that it helps to let go of your old clothes, in order to have new clothes and be fashionable simultaneously.
ResponderEliminarThe only disadvantage is that by doing this, the time can often be applied to "most important" thing and I will be wasting at it, and whatever they say I do not think that addiction change.
i don't know if i have an addiction because a like to do a lot of things, but there are three things that i like to do , there are: play the guitar, do exercise and study, i like to do this and i spend a lot of time on this things. I think that this things have a good possitive points, because. First i do the things that i like, and my mind is working all the time, in the things that help to me in my life. Negative poins... mm... i think that sometimes i need to take a break because, my mind have a lot of things to do and i start to feel tired. I need to repose more and try to relax in my free time. :D
ResponderEliminarI think that I am addicted to buying clothes. It is something that I prefer doing on many things. A good aspect is that you do not have to worry because to use a day following, if you have clothes great! Always it is good to have clothes for any occasion, you can be in constant change with the mode. The negative aspects, they are, all your money is destined to the purchase of clothes, often for saving you stop eating, knowing that you can fall ill for doing it. All that has factors as: personal dissatisfaction, sensation of boredom or depression, Impulsiveness or anxiety, under autoesteem, distrust, insecurity. This pleasure that you feel on having entered to a mall, the smell of new clothes! It is something inexplicable. If, it is something bad, but it is too pleasant. It is not a need, is a pleasure.

ResponderEliminarI don't have an addiction,and i usually do different things from time to time, i like change my routines bcause i don't want my life become in monotony,in my free time i'm listening music or in social networks but i don't consider an addiction because i do to distract my self from the reality of my life or when i feel i have many problems, i do exercise, i like kickboxing or volleyball, as i see it, i haven't an addiction.
ResponderEliminarI don´t think that i´m addicted for something. i spend sometime doing different activities, for example: sometimes i use my cellphone when i need to talk with my friends, or if they send me a photo or something like that. If i had to choose some addiction i think that i gona choose is the cellphone the positive aspects are that it is useful if you need to talk with a friend or if you need to search something on the internet. And also all the addictions have something bad,in my case are that if you use it a lot you will have a headeache, you can lose the focus if you are in class or some important activity and things like that.
ResponderEliminarWell i think i am a little bit addicted to texting by my cellphone beacuse i always have my mobile near to me to see what happened in the social networks...
ResponderEliminarI'm addicted of shopping clothes and accessories, i'm so vain and i love it and i think that is not bad.
