Internet

My cousin was in middle school when he was highly addicted to playing games on the internet. It became a habit where he had to play everyday and would get very mad if he didn't pass the game successfully. He would play many hours per day. He had many late nights trying to play every single game and had to win them all. The consequences to that was that he started to do poorly on homework assignments or would not even do them at all. His concern really became just achieving his wins online. It affected his social life as well. He would avoid phone calls, hanging out with friends, and even spending time with family. When it came to the end of the year, he was at risk of not graduating and going to high school. That's when his parents stepped in and would not let him go on the computer until all his school work was done. They even took his xbox and all other gaming systems. That did teach him that he can't dedicate his entire life on games. He realized school was important and also having a social life.

I do remember one game website he used back when we were in middle and it was www.addictinggames.com it is something all the students would play at school in the library, computer class, or at home.

Movies

My favorite movie from 2010 was Iron Man 2. Iron Man 2 was one of my favorite because Robert Downey Jr is one of my favorite actors. Action movies are always the best kind of movies to watch in the movie theater. This movie had a very interesting plot and was action filled and amazing effects.




My all time favorite movie has to be Titanic. I remember going to the movie theater twice to see it. When it came out, I bought it and literally watched it every single day. Even now when it comes on TV and I catch it on, I will watch it. My favorite part is when the Titanic hits the iceberg and begins to sink. I just like the suspense feeling ti gives you.
