WoW "addiction" (Score 1)

Im a 15 year old sophmore in high school who recently, by myself, got rid of my pretty intense "addition" to WoW. The summer of 2006 and my freshman year were full of glory days of not getting A's in my classes or recieving recognition for achievment, but killing infamous dragons and completing the most grueling 40 man dungeons in WoW. Oh man was it fun sitting down all day playing World of Warcraft. I even got a full set of the second best armor in the game! So what is my first intention after my armor set is proudly sitting on my body? Get a new weapon, and while im at it, why not just get the first best armor in the game? Another half a year spent. Until i realized one thing, where in hell is this taking me? I woke up. I mostly quit WoW and the consequences were AWSOME. My grades skyrocketed, my health improved and even my mom stopped complaining. WoW takes you nowhere at all, i realized how little there is to gain from that game. I recently started looking around at the people around me, only to find that all my friends are the same way i used to be. I asked my friend Dillan, literally, a day ago, how he did on his end ot he quarter math exam. He replied "Well, my guild had a BWL run the night before so i had to attend, only got about 15 minutes of studying in, however i did gain some awsome DKP points. Honestly i got a D on it, but whatever." It saddend me to see my friends literally homing in on failure. I challenge someone to find a reason why WoW is a whole lot better to play then studying for exams and doing homework which will get you into college, which then, will allow you to get a job and possibly even start a family. There is just nothing to gain, thats what i realized when i woke up.
