You poor thing! I would DIE, literally DIE without the internet. I would feel like I suddenly got cut off from the world. I guess its just such a big part of life now that its hard to see anyone completely cutting it out from their lives. For me, that would mean going back to the times when we would hardly ever hear from our relatives. We need internet for our news/weather/etc. stuff too. So even if I DO spend too much time on the internet, my parents wouldn't take it away. I need it for my homework, for my research, for my cousins, my friends...PT ...so many other things. The rest of my family is constantly on the internet too. Do you think you can convince your dad to keep it somehow? Don't you need it for school? I know I do. I need the internet for school almost everyday. I hope you can get him to compromise somehow. It would be tough losing the internet when its something you use every single day.
