Improved Introduction

Here are my attempts at making a good intro :)
(1)             Imagine yourself waking up in the morning thinking what you want to do that day, but you can’t think of anything that needs to be done.  You go onto your computer and decide to play a video game for a couple minutes while you are trying to think of something productive to do. In-between killing monsters, chatting with other players, and gaining achievements you look at your cellphone hoping somebody texted you, but no one ever does.   By the end of the day, the only productive thing that you have done is make a bologna sandwich, and you go to bed disappointed in yourself.   Imagine this happening to you every day, it is normally coupled with mental diseases such as A.D.H.D, loneliness, depression, etc.  Internet addiction should be prevented at a young age and if not than it should be fixed by getting help from others, and by finding something that is more productive.  

(2)               Imagine yourself looking out the window first thing in the morning and there is a blizzard raging outside of the window.  In the front room you can hear your family talking over the soft cackle of the fireplace, as you walk over there your sister runs over to you. She grabbed your arm and tells you that school is cancelled while she is jumping up and down.  Shortly following this announcement she proceeds to run outside, to be picked up by her boyfriend to go sledding in the local park.  Your parents ask you if you are going to hang out with your friends, but you avoid the question and slowly stalk off too your room.  You don’t want to admit to anyone but the truth is that you don’t have friends and you don’t want to go anywhere by yourself because you are awkward around other people.  You sit on the desk in your bedroom and start playing a video game and talking to your online friends who treat you nicely, unlike the people at your school.  Before you know it your mom is calling you for dinner, you wonder where the day has gone; but you don’t care.   Internet addiction is something that needs to be controlled by asking for help by the people close to you.
