Steve, Scotland: «When I was in the sixth form, I was a real computer geek. At that time, the first thing that I did after school was to turn on the computer. I spent a lot of time checking my e-mail even though I didn’t get so many e-mail messages.

I spent hours and hours in front of the com- puter screen and surfed the Internet for a long time. Of course I knew that I had to stop to do my homework, but I just couldn’t help trying to spend more time at the computer.

This situation lasted for about a year, and then I understood that I was spending too much time online. It was not easy to break a habit which I really enjoyed, but I still tried hard to do so. Now I am no longer addicted to the computer, I spend no more than two hours in front of the computer screen each day».

Lilly, France: «When I was a child, I learnt to play the violin. Although it was my mother who pushed me to learn, I really enjoyed the music while I was playing.

Since I finished elementary school, I have been buying music records which I like. At the moment I have about 300 CDs which are stored in my bookcase.

I think I should stop buying music records because whenever I hear something really fab and cool, I try to find out what the music is and then I go out and buy that record as soon as I can. Sometimes I don’t even care about how much the record costs, and I spend a lot of money on it.

I’ve now decided to give up this habit.  I need to be more serious about money and correct my behaviour».
