Yeah, there are topics like this. In fact, I've made one in the past. Anyways, to stop procrastinating, you need to eliminate what is taking use of your time while you are procrastinating. If it's the computer then unplug it. If it's the TV then go to a different room. If it's the phone then turn it off. Etc. It also might help just to go to the library and get a quiet study room for yourself where no one can bug you and where it's silent and you can just work without distractions. If that doesn't help then it might also help to try to make a schedule. Like let's say you get out of school at 3PM. Then schedule between 3PM-4PM you have break/rest time. Then from 4PM-4.30PM you read for English. From 4.30PM-5.30PM you work on Geometry. Etc. And tell your parents about this schedule too so they can make sure you are trying your hardest to stick to it. Oh, and if you decide to construct a schedule, it's best to have 5-10min breaks in between every 20min of work. That way you learn better and remember what you actually studied (I learned this from my counselor so I'm not just making it up.) And in that break get up and stretch, get something to eat, take a jog around the block; something just to get you energized enough to work through a whole nother 20 min of straight studying w/o having thoughts of going on the computer or flipping the TV on. So yeah, hope these tips help or something. Oh and also what other people said. I'm not sure how old you are but once you are a junior or a senior I think another reason to not procrastinate is college because grades are very important. So think towards your future.
