Dear Jack,
I'm sorry to hear that you're deeply addicted to your mobile phone and lack communication with your family and friends. I totally understand how you feel, and I think you're not alone in this situation. The following is my advice.
First, set a time limit for using your phone every day and put your phone away when you're with family or friends. Furthermore, find meaningful offline activities to fill your time, such as reading, playing sports, or developing a hobby, which will reduce your desire to check your phone constantly. More importantly, communicate with people around you. It is important to talk to your parents about your school life or chat with friends face to face, which will strengthen your relationships and make you feel happier.
I sincerely hope you will find these suggestions useful.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua
Thank you
