Hi everyone.
Last night, my parents confronted me about my addiction to this game and the grades I've been making; they haven't been good at all this year. I've played this game for over 5 years now, but for the past year, it's been a mental war about whether or not I should keep playing. I leave, and all of the high ranks in HAU beg for me to come back. I return, and my parents yell at me about my addiction to ROBLOX.
I do plan on this being a rather long message - as I think I should share some of my experience with you all. Over the past year, I've been messed up in the head. It's really amazing that I haven't gone down the wrong path in life, or jumped off the deep end. I'm proud of myself for keeping mental sanity as I kept weighing my options. I was so addicted to this game that it was my every day life. Of course, friends won't know about me ever playing this, but it felt like a second life to me: every day, I had to disguise my addiction to this game.
Fast forward to this school year, and the addiction kept growing, grades kept dropping, along with what ever social life I have left dangling by a single thread that could easily break at any time. I isolated myself from the outside world. I went outside only to play basketball and drive; that was it. It's embarrassing and can drive you pretty insane when you're around a computer and ROBLOX all day. Somehow, it became a daily routine to play this game until 11 PM at night, staying up until 1-4 AM to do homework, and repeating the same cycle all over again.
I've been weighing my options, which is why I continually give the group to Bidoof and return and take it from him. This game is almost like some sort of drug - there really isn't a solid cure for the addiction. To me, at least... I'm not sure about others.
Last night, my parents finally confronted me and told me the straight up truth: you can either quit playing this stupid ass game, or become an addict and do nothing with your life. I've decided to take the first option, mainly because it's ridiculous that this is a higher priority over real life. I have goals and dreams in my life, and it's time for me to chase them.
And now, it's time to say a final good bye to everyone. Bidoof will be receiving both Practice and HAU, along with what ever riches I have left. Take it as a small token of all the times I've messed up, Bidoof. You were the only real, true best friend I had on this game.
As for the rest of you - go after your goals and dreams in life. Computer gaming shouldn't be one of them. Being on some stupid ass blog on ROBLOX shouldn't be one, because in 5 years or so, ROBLOX will be closed for good and all of your accomplishments will vanish. ROBLOX will keep luring you back in just to suck away your money and time - but don't let it. Keep going after your dreams, your goals, and what ever you want to accomplish in life. You still have time to accomplish it, as life can go on for so long. There is no "end" once you reach your dreams - just keep running until you are finally out of breath.
Cheers, for a final time.

| I understand what you are talking about because this happened to me a lot. Still, I also confront my life with the better chance of future dreams. I just play roblox less now. |
