You clearly lack self discipline and so you need a teacher/parent to stand over you and MAKE you do your work. I am exactly the same - I never do my work until I have to, and if I can get away with it I don't do it at all. And I know it's not an illness or a condition or adhd. It's LAZINESS! I am lazy. I don't want to work, I want to play. You are the same. Face up to the truth and deal with it.

So - get your mom to block EVERYTHING on your computer except the sites you need for work. Computers come with parental controls and if you can get around them your mom needs to get software you can't cheat.

NO tv in your room where you work.

NO music to play around with.

NO IPod.

NO Cellphone.

NO books magazines or anything distracting. Only text books.

And you don't come out of that room until all your work is done. It's that simple. If you can't make yourself behave you need to have all your options for avoiding work removed and no amusements allowed until you prove to your mom that you have done your work. You have to admit to your parents that you need them on your case the whole time or you won't do any work. They need to come in regularly and demand to see what you've done so far, and they need to set you a timetable and penalties for not keeping up. Yes - that's treating you like a little kid - but if you can't exercise self discipline they will have to treat you like one.

Incidentally - you will be like this all your life. It's a personality type. I'm 54 now and I get nothing done because I'm too busy putting it off and messing about on the pc instead. Without supervision I achieve very little. But for me it doesn't matter - I'm not trying to pass exams and get a career. You are. Unless you WANT to spend your life in an entry level job with minimum pay while all your friends graduate, go to college and get good jobs. Believe me - you won't like it if your friends cousins and siblings get degrees and careers and you don't. It's extremely embarrassing and depressing.
