u are not alone. facebook is very addictive. had so much Problems with dd over her online activities. realised that my dd is not disciplined enough to manage her facebook activities. so we came to agreement I will control her fb password. she has to ask for permission to use fb. much resistance in the beginning but over time, she got over urge to use fb. she lets her classmates know any impt msg must be communicated to her viasms because she is not active in fb. she has also come to realise she has a lot more time to study without the distractions of fb.

this method should not be employed unless necessary. we did go through a tough period of time setting things in place. afterall this is also the teenage
years. lots of angst.

Thank you so much to zeemimi and rich dad poor dad for your advice and comforting words. I have tried both soft and hard method as mentioned by you guys. Like giving her 30 mins everyday after dinner to get connected and updated with her friends on fb. But it did not work. She still has the temptation to switch to fb or youtube when doing her online homework. Initially, I was also in control of her fb password, however, I gave up half way cos she would always find excuses to log on to fb to get info or project discussion ( don't understand why they cannot call each other on the phone) from classmates and thereafter she deliberately did not log off and I too forgot about it. I have done everything that i could help her to get distracted from fb , it is up to her whether she has the determination to focus on her studies. Everyday I am hoping that she would become more sensible and motivated in her studies.

Hi Daranic

My dd is in sec 1 non IP .She is always on her laptop too but not doing homework. Even when she is doing online homework, she always secretly switch to facebook. Its driving me crazy. Anybody know how to block the facebook website. I can not be 24 hrs watching her. I have tried to block fb under security link but she still can access into fb. I also tried to block under parental control link but it can only block programs. I wanted to ban her from fb but she said sometimes her classmates will make annoucement on fb. I wanted confiscate her hp but she said the same things like her senior will text her if there is a need to inform her anything regarding cca. and I know what she had said is the truth cos I have read her sms before. Any parents having same problem as me!

hi...i'm not a parent but i realised that your daughter seems to be me o.o i am almost totally like your daughter. i even dislike my math teacher. anw, i was addicted too but i realised that facebook was causing me to not be able to finish up my homework. so i asked my father to help me block facebook on my laptop. he disabled javascript for my internet explorer browser so now i am able to go to the facebook website but cannot log in. you can try doing that too or maybe you can go to this site: http://www.hidetools.com/how-to-block-facebook.html idk if it will work but it's worth a try. btw, you have to disable facebook in all the browsers that you use (eg. google chrome) so it will work properly. however although i now have no access to facebook on my laptop or phone my father lets me log in on weekends because he knows i still need my 'freedom'. ^^

Hi

You are definitely very sensible. i bet your parents must be very happy when you volunteered to block your fb account. Hope that one day my DD will realise that addicted to fb is affecting her studies and whatever I am doing now is for her good. I will try the method you recommend, hopefully it works.FYI I m not an unreasonable parent, I still allow her to use her hp to access fb everyday so long as she is not spending too time on it like secretly switching to fb even when she is doing her online homework.Btw, are you also in sec 1.

My school uses MacBooks too and I must say its a real distraction. Whats more, I’m Sec 3. Such 1 to 1 programs are not so beneficial after all.

I fully agreed with you. Unless you are very disclipine then it will not affect your study.

I am in Cedar (Integrated Programme) guess you know my age. I want to know what will be the subjects tested in 'A' level and is it true that i will have 'O' level for higher mother tongue (Chinese)?

[twilight]

Current IP students in other schools are allowed to make their own subject choices for A levels, and yes it is true that you have to take O level HMT exam, and third language, if you have that.

:thankyou: Thank you for the information! ^_^!

I'm having the same problem with my daughter too. Their cca is always having last minute annoucement on the fb instead of putting up advance notices in the respective cca notice board (if they still have it). This made them failed to plan an event well in advance and relying on fb to message to members last minute.


Sigh...sometimes I wonder over relying on such technology is it really good?
