So, Today I told my parents about quitting Youtube, and they both approved on it.

My mom told me she was very happy for me. My dad was skeptical at 1st, but then he approved of it.

I deleted my channel, which had 2,211 Subscribers. I realized that youtube is killing my time. I remembered a time I SKIPPED A SCHOOL EVENT just for YouTube earlier this year.

I learnt that Social Media isn't a fit for me. I always wanted to be a Youtuber, but then I learnt the dark truth about it. And I feel like a more practical job will fit me better in the future.

So, Today I asked my mom to delete my YouTube channel and she did, and she made me a new account. With a lot of Nordic blog channels subscribed to, and even a profile photo of a Viking Anime Girl. I realized I needed to appreciate the world and not just be in Youtube.

Even thought I deleted my channel today, I already feel much happier. I may come back to YouTube once I become older (like 16 or 18 or maybe even 20) but for now, I will enjoy my life as it is :)

Oh, no wonder I couldn't find it when I searched for it on youtube! Too bad, I loved watching your videos and I was about to subscribe, but you can honestly do what you love!

Carly, I actually feel extremely happy. I've been a sub since June, and I realized sometimes you posted a lot of vents. My older cousin also had a really big YouTube Addicition, at the point where she wouldn't eat to make videos when she was 14. Now she is 16 and she feels much better now
