    I did this for a month! I gave my parents all my electronic devices and told them to not give them back, no matter how much I beg. It really opens my eyes to everything around me and I feel a lot happier too! I've realized that there are WAY more important things to do than spend hours on your phone wasting time. Like doing something creative (art, learning to cook, etc.), spending time with family, and so many other things. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND TRYING THIS if you feel depressed or have anger issues. I know getting on those games and social media every fifteen minutes sounds important to you, but after a few days or none of that, you will realize that a huge weight has lifted off your shoulders and you can actually focus! Trust me. You will never regret it.😁

    Well, since I usually need my phone to wake me up, I just put it on the other end of the room out of reach from the bed so I have to stand up and walk to it and turn off the alarm. It makes it harder to hit the bed, even if it's still fairly easy, but it gets me going.

But sometimes when I get bored from internet I just wanna leave it for a second but I can't it like if trapping me inside the social world!!! But it's not that bad now and I know it was much worse before when I didn't think about my life. I do know and follow the rules so that helps me out sometimes but there is one more rule I never thought about is not to sleep next to my iPad. Thanks a lot for giving me this idea because that is the main reason why I'm in my ad so long.
