Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and in purity.

My Dad Says I'm Addicted to My Cell Phone

Need I say more? Help me keep it.

Well, you're not alone. Cell phone addiction might be one of the biggest addictions of this century. People the world over can't let go of their mobile. Lots of people have multiple phones and talk or text on them for hours a day.

Here's how to find out if you're addicted:
  1. Do you spend more than 30 minutes a day on your cell?
  2. Do you use it more than you mean to?
  3. Does it freak you out to think of losing it?
  4. Do you miss out on class or family functions because you are talking on it?

If you answered yes to any of these, then you may be addicted.

Maybe your dad's onto something. But who cares, right? What's the big deal about a cell phone addiction? It is a big deal, actually, because an addiction is something that controls you. When you are addicted to something, you have essentially made that something your god. And that means that the real God has been demoted. Not only to you demote and disrespect God with your addiction but you disrespect people as well. Addiction to a cell phone, like anything else, can cause you to hurt those around you. If your dad says you are addicted, then he's one of those who is feeling the sting of your addiction. Your family is more than likely becoming less and less a part of your life as your friends and your cell take up more and more of your mind-space. You may or may not have an addiction, but either way, it sounds like you have a problem . Your cell and your dad aren't getting along. If you really want to keep your phone, then you have to take charge of it and make some changes. I know it may seem impossible, but if you can't do it, then you should lose your cell phone!
