I'm addicted to this game called League of Legends, a game I just found this summer. It's one and a half months in sophomore year (high school), and my grades are:
alg 2: 73%
Chemistry: 91%
French: 95%
Euro AP: 87%
Eng: 84%
I know to some of you these may be good grades and i'm just whining (and to you smart people these are horrible), but these grades make me feel like i'm not a my full potential, and it's all my fault for playing League of Legends. I hate that feeling. I'm also really behind on my piano practicing. In fact, i just had a lesson, and my teacher got all pissed and told me stop slacking off. I feel like trash. THIS GAME IS ADDICTING. I just cannot STOP. Should i just uninstall this game? Just until i build myself up again? Every since this year started, I had the feeling of not accomplishing anything. All my other friends seem like they're doing so well this year, and they're so HAPPY. I feel like the person in the corner... I've been listening to a lot of skillet and eminem. K, this is getting long.This online game is ruining my life... slowly?
Lol.
Been there, done that /millions/ of times with tons of different web sites.
Sounds drastic, probably to those who've never experienced it, but yes, uninstall it. Don't do anything short of that.
But then, watch out, you'll probably visit somewhere else on the Internet, (YT, FB, even stupid sections of the Internet you'd never have thought of) more than usual trying to fill the void.
Make plans with friends if you can. Try to do homework without going online or even on Microsoft Word. You'll find yourself saying, "Oh, let me just Google this for a minute." Forty minutes later, you're not even close to getting off. If it means you have to write in your notebook (painfully slower), then so be it.
If you feel like procrastinating though, to a healthy degree, still don't go online. Hang out with your friends, watch TV, something else.
If you have any other games on there, uninstall them too, even ones you don't use anymore. Just to help you get over this. Who cares if you're on level 90? You can't be rational in the long run, but you can be rational in this one moment and realize it's just a game, you've done it before, you can do it again, but much further down the road.
And even this isn't fool proof.
Then again, hopefully you're not as bad as me and some people I know.
*Edit: You know what, I also used to like regular video games you'd play on the TV. I never actually got addicted to them like I would online, and that's saying something because I have a pretty addictive personality with those types of things. If you know yourself well enough that you know you won't become overly obsessed, you could substitute with that a little bit too. 'Cause sometimes TV can be boring and friends are busy or it's late at night.
Yes, uninstall it for a while. I was once addicted to this chat room. I'd be there every single day and let my personal life go. Well I blocked myself from the site and forced myself to go out. I went back to the chat room a couple of more times over the next year or two but today I don't ever go to the chatroom. I don't even think of it anymore.This online game is ruining my life... slowly?
I played the game for a while, but I wasn't too interested in it.
I suggest you scrub your hard-drive clean of this program. Go cold turkey. Meanwhile, set small goals for yourself to get back into the habit of finishing your school-work and improving your grades.
The grades do not seem that bad, but seriously..just uninstall and get rid of the game
you are obviously weirdly obsessing so its a good idea!

That game is just stupid. It's repetitive and the community is full of the trash of the internet who take everything way too seriously and are unable to act mature or civil.
Uninstall it if you know what's good for you.
Look for new hobbies and enjoy them in balance with your life. Put your coursework first and only play video games after you finish homework and studying.
