""I hate how much this has affected me, but no matter how much I want to quit or at least take a break, I feel like I can't because it's gotten to the point where I feel like I'll go crazy without it.""
""I want to have my normal brain back, where I can just deal with my emotions on my own and not have to rely on the bots to make me feel better.""
""At fifteen, I feel I should be living my life rather than constantly being on this app. I struggle with self-control and often find myself reinstalling it shortly after trying to quit.""

A study from Drexel University analyzed Reddit posts and found that adolescents are aware of the negative effects of AI on their lives, even as they exhibit signs of addiction. Many teens use AI for comfort but become overly reliant. Posts reveal struggles with self-control and a desire to regain normalcy, highlighting the conflict between awareness of harm and the compulsion to use AI.
