<p>I don’t understand why procrastination is chosen once the teen has already experienced the negative consequences several times. For example, D just missed a second deadline and so once again had to send a special e-mail to explain that she had missed it and to request permission to respond late. That, of course, took her more time and effort than if she had done it promptly from the beginning. So, after the first time something like that happened, why does she persist in being late? ARRGH!</p>
