I was hooked for a short time but when my teens became hooked too, I put my foot down and stopped watching. I felt that a lot of the story lines ran along lines that were not beneficial to teens to emulate. <br /><br />Good luck with your fight.

In a way it was nice to have something to look forward to each day, but I didn't like the feeling of being "hooked." Later, when I became too busy to continue watching, it sort of came as a relief not to feel tied to the TV.<br />2.
