The author provides a real-life example of a family member who became addicted to social media in high school and suffered depression and inability to focus on studies, but recovered in college by deleting accounts and focusing on schoolwork instead of browsing. Two pieces of advice to avoid computer addiction in schools are to do schoolwork early and avoid unnecessary internet surfing, and to delete distracting apps to focus on studying. In summary, internet addiction can be controlled with proper usage, time management, and prioritizing important tasks over excessive online time.
