with me that this addiction is

A couple of weeks ago, I
ran inlo a girl of my graduating
high school class who recently
got engaged to a man she has
ncVCTntCt. but talks to often on
the Internet. 1 am to ld that this

I rond this very weird. I
speak not only from observation
of these human life foons

myself have experienced the
sickness of this so called enter-tainment.
I made an honest erron 10
undcr.;tand the addiction of tile

wOO is equipped with a computer
and modem for Ille

me throu gh all the passwords

was bombarded with sexual and
perverse questions. I wasn't
able 10 respond be fore another
lewd comment was sent 10 me.
In tears, 1 ran from her room
into mine and buried my head
imo a pillow. To think that
people schedule their lives
around s ucll a horrible thing. I
wasn't able to sleep Illal nighl.
All I could hear were the lapping
sounds of keyboards
around lhe world pounding into
my head. WhalC~er happened
