  18. Practice Last summer, I came across a video game called final fantasy II. It was a Role playing game online that was very fun and addicting. At the start of the summer I was worried alot about the changes that were happening in my life and I was scared about what was going to happen next year at school. This Fantasy of living in a world of fun and adventure looked alot better than reality so I started playing. At first everything was ok. I forgot about my problems and had alot of fun. Around August I relized that I had not only forgot about my problems but I had forgot about my cares too. I hadn’t talked to my family much, I barely spent time with friends and I hadn’t even got my permit yet and I was a month away from 16. This game was no longer a fantasy but an addiction. All I wanted to do was play this game and nothing else. Finaly, with the help of my friends and some thinking, I decided to stop playing final fantasy or any other addicting games again. This was a key decision in my life.
