A friends 15 year old daughter has "fallen in love" online with a 20 year old boy in England.
Now she won't go to school so she can visit with him, physically attacks her mother for trying to end it
by cutting off the internet and shutting down her iphone, and has threatened suicide if this is done.
See, her brain releases dopamine when she is thinking of this guy and can't stand to think of not getting that
fix. She doesn't even understand what's happening. She doesn't understand they will most likely never
meet. She doesn't understand that she is not there and he can do any damn thing he likes and she will
never know it but be just as jealous when he doesn't meet her at the designated time. She doesn't
understand that he may be older than he says and possibly a pervert. It's a sick addiction.
Same kind of addiction as when we smoked.
The nicotine causes a release of dopamine in your brain.
So parents, watch your kids. This could happen to them in their formative years and ruin their lives.
And, break that smoking habit. We're all doing it here!
