At 18 I was probably spending 9h+ a day on the computer, playing games and watching anime mixed with creative stuff. I wasn't depressed, and I don't look back and go "oh that was wasted time" or whatever. I can't believe every post here is so negative. If he's _actually_ depressed, is unable to make progress on life goals, can't go to school, can't get a job, doesn't have friends etc, then absolutely. But nothing like that is mentioned in the original post.
