How I did it: I can see what's addictive about it. The whole...checking back in case you won something in the snowager's den...searching the term negg repeatedly in case you spot a bargain deal......donating, receiving and restocking.....what a wonderful world.

But it's pretty pointless after a while. People often get literally consumed by it so they don't spend enough time paying attention to their REAL lives...their home lives..

I don't think people above 13 should be there at all. They infiltrate the game with all sorts of grown up twisted politics that a simple game like neopets doesn't need. Kids get too competitive over nothing. Also I believe the sparkly, shiny "items" and billions of np in the "market" which are easily flowing is what gives people a sense of achievement which is why they keep going back to it. Often people would be found slagging off the anti-neopet websites made by people who got out of it. They are in some sort of dream-like state and can't tolerate the idea of their greatest achievements being a pile of tut.

Lessons & tips: Neopets teaches nothing about life to people over 14 unless you're looking for absolute time wasters.   

If you find yourself developing REAL emotions towards the "pets" you definitely need to get out of there!!!!

Resources: Go on the anti neopets sites, they show you exactly how ridiculous the whole thing is and how it's wasting your life away.
