Internet

Shopping is and will always be an activity that many girls invest in their life. Some find it more accessible doing it online. Although I have shopped online before but I would never developed an addiction. However, my good friend has been very fond of shopping online. Her main reason to doing so is because its  convenient, easy and there are a wider range of choices. Her favorite or shall I say regular sites are Fredericks, Amazon, Nine West and Forever 21. Ever since she has been engaged with this activity, she can't stop shopping and her credit card bills are accumulating. Moreover, she barely visits the mall, which means no social life and that has made her unaware about society. She is currently enrolled in a good school, therefore she realized the importance of accomplishing her education. Moreover, she is in a private school, which is more expensive, therefore she is obligated to saving money to compensate for school.

Aside from shopping, I know a large sum of people who are addicted to games online such as Dota, Warcraft etc. Back in my country, Malaysia, a lot of my friends were always at a cybercafe from sunrise to sunset playing all these games. Their addiction made them neglect school and take advantage of their parents' money. Most of them end up working at cybercafes' or being jobless individuals. However, for some of them, for example my brother, he managed to stop playing these games by being more committed to work and his responsibility as the older brother.

  5. Richard, I totally understand where your coming from and Kirby, cybercafes are actually one of the main factors that encouraged this activity, especially in Malaysia.
