[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You need an old flip phone w/ no internet capabilities. he can still text and make calls. But as a former teen with parents who feared I was "internet addicted," and I did have some unhealthy internet chatting habits, it was really an escape from depression. I hope you are getting good help at figuring out and addressing everything that may be going on. Fwiw, I eventually grew up to be a healthy functional adult.[/quote] Thanks for this post. I'm glad to hear you recovered. My DS may have some other issues, but that's for the counselor to uncover. At the moment, I think it's an addiction to gaming caused by the way his brain is wired. The problem is the addiction, no matter why it started. I don't think he has depression, but I may be wrong. I think he's hugely bright, and bored. He gets all As at a very good school without much effort. [/quote]
