"Why did I sleep late every night?" asking myself. I know you are wondering like I do. The main reason for this problem would be using too much computer. Nowadays, computer contains all kind of entertainment for every age level. Most people are addicted to computer, which cause them a serious problem at home, at school and their physical symptoms, and these problems can be prevented by managing your time wisely.
Computer addiction can cause a serious problem. "At home, a mother has difficulty getting her child to do chores when computer games occupy all after school" (Maressa Hecht Orzack, 2003). I agree with this statement because sometime it also happens to me. Whenever I play a game that I like, I will play it continually for about 4 to 5 hours, even though I have not finish my homework yet. Another serious problem is a physical symptoms. According to Maressa Hecht Orzach (2003), using too much computer can cause a dry eyes, migraine headaches, back aches, eating irregularities, and sleep disturbances. All these problems occur because of computer addiction.
Most people are addicted to computer, and there are two main ways to prevent these serious problems from using too much computer. First of all, "consider why you are using the computer if your usage becomes excessive. Boredom, anxiety, and depression are common reasons to overuse the computer. Work through these emotions if this is true" (Leigh Wittman, 2009). This is important to me because most of the time when I'm back home, I will open my computer immediately without knowing that what will I use it for. Another solution is by placing a reasonable limits on the computer usage. According to Wittman (2009), we should decide what is a reasonable time based upon a daily schedule. In my case as a student, I should manage my time, like an hour on school days and two hours on weekends.
I recommend to use a second solution to this problem, which is placing a reasonable limits on computer usage. This solution will help you control and manage your time. In the future, you would be get use of using computer like one hour a day, and you will try not to use it more than that. In the first solution, it might not be much accurate because you know why you are using computer, but you can't manage your time properly. Once you can't manage your time properly, you will get to overuse the computer. The only way you can solve this problem is to work hard on it.

Coming to school late
"Where is your late slip? Go get your late slip now!" I believed teachers got boring saying this to the students every morning. Nowadays, the problem to many teenagers is that they are coming late to school. The most common reason for coming late is having poor organization (Dark Syde, 2010.) Students always relax at home and when it is the last minute, they don't have enough time to travel. This effects each individual's school record. If student get bad record during the school life, it would effect their work in the future. This essay is based on my problem about coming to school late, which were caused by waking up late, problems with transportation, and poor management of time. I should manage my time wisely, and prepare myself the night before.
To have this problem solve, I have to look why this problems happen. The most common problem for me is waking up late or lazy to wake up. That's because I always stayed up late at night, so I didn't have enough sleep and want to continue sleeping. To solve this problem, I should sleep earlier than before. Students need at least ten hours to sleep a day. (Dark syde, 2010.) When I hear my alarm clock, I shouldn't close it and continue sleeping. If I need to wake up at 6o'clock, I should sleep at about 9p.m., this will make my body stay healthy too! When the alarm clock starts ringing, I shouldn't say "another five minutes more" and continue sleeping. Only 5minutes can make me late.
Another solution is I should manage my time wisely, so I can have enough time to take a shower, to eat breakfast, and to call a taxi. If I don't manage my time, I would end up eating breakfast, when the school bell rings. What I need to do is, calculate how much time I need for taking a shower, eating my breakfast, and calling for a taxi. Then add about 10 to 15 minutes to that time, in case there is an accident or there is no taxi. I also need to be prepare at night, so I wouldn't be wasting time on arranging my bag or finding my school uniform.
The common solution that will not work is that thinking that I will not be late for school, but I haven't done anything different. I am just thinking that I will wake up early tomorrow, but when the alarm clock rings, I continue to sleep. That doesn't work. When I change to sleep earlier, I don't feel sleepy when I wake up. I feel fresh and I can concentrate on my study because I get enough sleep and also I don't be late for school. So, the best way that I could do is to sleep early, and to manage my time wisely. This two solutions need to go together because if I sleep early but take 20minutes taking a shower, that wouldn't help if I only wake up early. If I learn how to manage my time, it would also help me in the future. My record would be good, so when I find my jobs, I would have a credit for it.

Procrastination in doing homework
Procrastination in doing homework
Everyone hates homework. Why do we need to do homework? students always have problem complaining about homework because of theirlaziness. This essay will be about solution to procastination in doing himework. Procrastination means to delay, it occurs when student send their homework late because they’re lazy to do their homework. Procastination in doing homework happens because of children’s laziness, it can be solved by setting rules at home for the children to do their homework.
As what I’ve said, procastination occurs because of children’s laziness, it can be solved by setting rules or time in your house. According to Moorman and Halter (2010), one should set a time to do his or her homework and use that time everyday. This isnot only for one to do his or her homework but it can make one become responsible person. Ona can also set rules in hir or her house example on 8:00 p.m., one need to do hor her homework.
Another solution according to family-homework-answer (2008-20090 is to do “Homework Sandwiches”. Homework Sandwiches can be done to make one to do his or her homework without any stress. Homework sandwich is when one do something before doing his or her homework and after to make him or her to feel fun of doing it. Some idea of homework sandwiches given are to play video games for 15 minutes, do his or her homework then shoot hoops with dad or talk to the phone for 20 minutes to whom ever one wants, do his or her homework then continue to talk to the phone. This idea is similar to setting rules but homework sandwich helps one to feel more fun in doing homework than setting rules.
In conclusion, I think do something before doing homework will not work eventhough it helps one to do his or her homework but it won’t make one to do his or her homework properly because one will think of what his or her is going to do after he or she do homework, so he or she will be in rush. I think setting rules will be the best solution. It helps one to do his or her homework and be responsib;e person in the same time and one can also do his or her homework properly without rushing.

Phone Addiction
"Are you on your phone again?" questioned by my mom. I'm addicted to phone since I got the blackberry. Most teenagers are addicted to phones. I once walk in Central and saw a whole group just using phone. Everybody think that using phone is the trend. Using phone all the time make us have a bad character. Phone addiction causes me to lose money and have ear problem and can be solve only with ones own will. Own will is like a power to control your mind to follow.
Like I said, addicting to phone causes me to lose money and have ear problem. I lost over 15,000 baht on the phone last year. Your own will is like a willpower. The only way for me to stop or decrease the use of phone is willpower. I thought about it long ago but it was really hard for me to get detach. Some signs that I have that shows I'm addicted is I use reminder all the time on my phone, cut money on personal products for more money to pay phone bills, uses mobile phone in the bathroom, I charged full battery before leaving the house and I feel a moment of panic when my phone is not in my pocket (Mokey, 2010). I started decreasing usage of phone only about 4 months ago. It's only by willpower that I want to stop it that will make it happen.
The solution that I think will not work for me is if I sold my blackberry and think that I won't be using it a lot because I had tried to use other phone. I feel far apart and I world call more, that causes more money. The best solution is willpower where I have to limit my own time of using and say not to use it if it is not an emergency. If I could change, I would have a better character and not be chatting all the time. I could have better grades and GPA and more time for other things.
