I started early 2013. I grew addicted to this game, going behind my parents' backs. After growing rarer and rarer, I became more and more addicted. All the items I wanted were coming to me after hours of gameplay. I chose Animal Jam over my homework and school. Grades dropped, parents yelled. I lied to them, claiming to do something else and really just playing the game. After I got a headdress, I grew a horirble attitude. As if I was better than everyone else on the game. I grew addicted to my powers. I grew rarer and rarer, but also meaner. I developed an attitude out of the game too. Before playing when I was younger, I was obedient and modest. I feel deeply ashamed, but I am writing this to warn others. Within my fifth year of playing, I realized I have an addiction. Some nights I stayed up until 3:00 in the morning playing Animal Jam. After years and years, I finally blocked the site on my computer before my grades start to affect my school life any further. Please... don't play this game. You may never leave...
