Republican's teen board shares their views.

I tend to be a procrastinator, particularly with long-term assignments. I will come home after school and get straight to my reading and geometry problems. However, tonight, for example, I have a history assignment due tomorrow that I have barely started.

I'm not a procrastinator, as I like to get my assignments done. There is a sense of relief once their done, and then I can do what I want.

Do I procrastinate? I don't want to say I do. But, I could go on for days about procrastination, but I think I will put that off until later!
EMILY POPE

I would say I am an extreme procrastinator. I know I should not procrastinate, but something in my head keeps saying, 'It's OK to put it off for another day.' I can never fight the urge to go watch TV, or go read, instead of doing my work. So, yes I am one. I am trying to find a cure, but I am unsuccesful so far.
ROBERT KASS
South Hadley High
I procrastinate on some things, but most of the time I want to get the task done, and quickly. So, I set an agenda and get it done. But, I do procrastinate a lot with school work. I procrastinated on a paper on the injustices with the American justice system, and did it the night before it was due.

I am one of the biggest procrastinators that you probably will ever meet, and I hate to admit it. But, when I know I have so much homework and it's difficult to do, I am not tempted to procrastinate. I procrastinate when I have an assignment that I don't have to turn in for a month. Then, and only then, would I do the smaller assignments and wait until the last minute to do the bigger assignment. But, in the end, I always get the homework done on time.
