Depression caused by video games - please take seriously?
Alright, so I'm a 16 y/o girl. I've been playing social games/video games since I was 8 andI always got addicted. I took a break when I was 12-13 because of school. I discovered mobile mmorpgs which made it easier for me to play all day, so I ended up playing this game for 8hrs+ a day, for about two years. I managed to do well in school and get sleep too, although sometimes I'd feel so deprived that I would hallucinate or fall asleep in the middle of a conversation. Anyways. This game got shut down now and I feel so depressed.I spent all my time when I wasn't at school on it and now my schedule is so messed up and I don't know what to do. I have many friends there, that's why i mostly kept playing it. Now they all moved to a new game and my ig boyfriend's ex joined too. I've called with this guy many times and he is so nice. I don't feel romantically attracted that much, but I also don't want him to ignore me because he's getting back together with his ex. I know this sounds crazy, but it's really affecting me. We won't talk that much if I leave this game, but now I don't like it tbh. If I will keep playing I will get addicted and neglect my life, I kinda want to stop. But it also makes me happy when I play so I don't know what to do. Focus on my real life responsibilities or just enjoy my teen years and make myself happy?
3 AnswersMental Health4 years agoHELP! BROKEN LAPTOP SCREEN (NOT PHYSICALLY I THINK)?
I woke up and when I turned on my laptop, this came on my screen: http://m.imgur.com/QrZpxPo
I m afraid I cracked it last night, I fell asleep with the laptop in my bed and the lid open, maybe I hit it or something. This is a new laptop and I m pretty afraid to tell my dad... the laptop was quite expensive too. The screen doesn t show physical damage though, only 3 slight lines that are a bit more protruding than the screen... can it be fixed? If so, will it be expensive or not? My laptop was also overheating and I forgot to turn it on before falling asleep...
1 AnswerLaptops & Notebooks5 years agoCan you transfer an image from Android to Windows Phone via Bluetooth?
Someone used my phone to send some photos (that were private) but I have an android, and theirs is a Windows phone. Only one image was sent because the others failed. That person keeps telling me that she didn t get the photos, that it s nowhere / she can t even open it. But on my android I can see at what hour it was sent, and which one. Can they really open it? And can you really transfer it or it just stays there and the receiver won t be able to see it?
1 AnswerCell Phones & Plans5 years agoI don't like food? What can I do so that I'll like it?
I'm talking about food in general. I know, weird, but I'm eating just so I don't get sick and all that. Today we had some guests and they brought a cake, but I had to refuse because I really don't like cake. And now, what food do I like? Almost none. Only pizza (certain brand), lasagna cooked by my granny only- and fries. (pretty cliche, huh?) It's just that I don't enjoy it too much? It's just food, something normal. I don't hate it, but don't love it either. I thought it had to do with me and my wish to lose weight, but I soon realised that I'm actually fit and won't look like a skinny model no matter how much I try. So I gave up on that a long time ago. But not enjoying food in general makes my life harder... I just want to enjoy food for once. My friend would often invite me to hang out and get a burger from McDonald's, and they're really in love with the food there- while I'm not. My mom would sometimes try to get me some fast food junk and I'd reject, because I just don't like it (this surprised her, because she thought all teens love junk food). I only eat when my stomach starts hurting or I get headaches- or my dad's calling me to eat. Sometimes I'd last nearly a whole day without eating, because I don't feel like doing it. Why don't I like it? Anyone else experiencing this? I just want to enjoy it and be a normal person.
6 AnswersOther - Food & Drink5 years agoFish jumped out of tank, help?
So I found my fish on the floor this morning. I don't know for how long he was there... when I picked him up he was really stiff and was barely moving, I thought he died already. However, my dad out him back in the tank. About 8 hours later when I came from school, I checked on him and he was back to normal, as if nothing happened. But an hour ago I just noticed that he started going to the bottom to the tank and is sitting upside-down. He keeps trying to rotate, but all he can do is jump and sink to the bottom again. I tried helping him.. but he keeps rolling on the other side. And I noticed he has some red patches along his tail and his main bone (sorry, the long one that is all around his body) and a bit around the head. I don't remember if he had those before or not... but I'm thinking it's caused by an intern hemorrhage he got when he jumped out of the tank? Is there any chance to keep hom alive?
p.s. excuse my english, i don't have time to check for grammar mistakes or dictionaries when my fish is dying. also yes, i know, i need to cover the fish tank so they won't jump anymore.
3 AnswersFish6 years agoHow can I estimate my adult height?
I know genetics plays a huge part and this and also diet, sleep, exercise, and so on. Anyone who can help me estimate my adult height? I'm turning 15 soon, I'm a female. I'm 163 cm at the moment. I didn't grow at all since last year and this makes me think I'll stop growing (I read some articles that girls stop growing after 2-3 years since they first had their menstruation, I had mine at 11). My mother is 160 cm while my father is around 180. Is there any chance I'll grow taller? In the recent years I've been getting 5 hours of sleep on average and I haven't eaten that healthily (I lack many vitamins and calcium, as well as magnesium) and I smoked for around 7 months. I read that these factors stop growth...

4 AnswersJokes & Riddles6 years agoIs this how you smoke?
I guess by reading how ridiculous my question sounds you've already figured out that I'm not too old. Anyways, I won't give up smoking so please don't tell me how unhealthy it is and yadda yadda, I know it all.
Now, going to the question.When I smoke, I bring the cigarette to my lips and inhale the smoke. I keep the smoke for about 1-2 seconds and then open my mouth and exhale. My friends tell me this is not how you properly do it and that I'll get oral cancer. They told me you have to inhale the smoke, then keep it for 1-2 seconds, after which I open my mouth and inhale again, as if I'd take a breath of fresh air, then exhale it all. I tried this and coughed a lot, but I actually inhaled all the smoke and when I exhaled, nothing came out. So what should I do it like?

6 AnswersFamily6 years agoNeed help, I don't know if he likes me or not.?
Alright, so it'll be quite a long story but I'll try to shorten it. I'm a girl, aged 14. Not a long ago I went to visit my grandparents who live in another city and this city isn't that big, people know eachother already and it's easy to say when someone here is new. Basically, I'm the new girl in town. There is this park in front of my grandparents' apartment and I go there daily, I even made some friends. The thing is, there are many boys around my age (girls too, but just as friends) and everyone seems to have noticed how more than half of the guys are all over me. This feels pretty weird because I'm not that pretty (not ugly either) and I'm not used to boys liking me. One of the girls already told me how two of the guys already "fell in love with me". I like them both, really. I know I'm not mature enough to have a serious relationship, only cheek kisses and holding hands would be fine, probably. But.. I'm not sure of one of the guys. That girl told me that he really likes me. But we don't really talk. We met 4 days ago and we just talked a little bit. These days he comes to the park more often but he never talks to me. I'd catch him glancing at me every now and then, but then he'd look away and act as if I'm not there. I'm pretty confused and I do have a crush on him. Is there a chance that he's just the type of shy guy and actually likes me?

2 AnswersSingles & Dating6 years agoSamsung galaxy tab pro 8.4 battery?
Uhm so, I don't knkw what's happening with it. Last night, I had my battery 34%. When I woke up, I had it around 15% and only 6 hours passed! Why did my battery discharge like that? I closed all the apps and set the luminisity to 0%, also activated the energy saving feature. After charging it, I played a bit and turned oit my battery had 39% Again. I left for school and 8 hours later when I came, it had 38% battery! It discharged only 1 % in 8 hours one time but 20% percent anither time in just 6 hours. Why? I always have my luminosity set to 0. And i didn't have any other apps. Could someone explain why?
2 AnswersOther - Electronics6 years agoSeeing helicopters a lot lately?
I know I might sound paranoid, but the area I live in rarely uses helicopters (police doesn't use them at all) and I saw so many recently. Just today I saw two at the same time, around my place. They were flying abovethe buildings, but still quite low, in a circle motion and then just left. A few days ago I heard one at my school, too. They have that military pattern (the camo one, with black, green, brown and some white too i think?) So they're neither police nor the ambulance. What is happening?
