Don't worry about it- my mom thinks I'm addicted to this website :D .

As for convincing her that it isn't a big deal, do cartoons get in the way of caring for yourself or other important things? if not, then I would say it's fine- lots of people watch cartoons at all ages anyway.

"Addiction" is something of an overused word. There's a difference between having a healthy interest or hobby and an unhealthy obsession that makes you neglect your responsibilities or causes health problems.
