It's really messing up my schoolwork because I get too distracted. Is there a way for me to limit the time I'm on the internet? I tried doing parental controls in the control panel, but that could only control my computer time, and I need the computer for my homework.
Also, I know I have to learn to control myself, but I would really like it if someone were to give me a way I could limit the time it allows me to go on. I would just take my homework to do it someplace else, but the problem is that I need my laptop for a lot of the work that I do.
 
If your that weak, put a router between your Modem and your computer. When you set up the router, set up the hours you want the Internet active.Have a responsible friend change the password for your router.That way, you won't be able to log onto the router, and change the settings. You will be offline, so you might as well get some homework done.
 
This isn't a technical answer. Sooner or later, you are going to have to find it in yourself to control yourself. You don't need anything fancy. Get a kitchen timer and set it for however long you decide you will allow yourself, then when the timer goes off, make the commitment to yourself to quit and then just do it.

Another thing to try is to do your schoolwork first. No exception, then when you are done, you are free to be on the internet with a clear conscience.

You have to find out how to discipline yourself, whether it is with regard to the internet or anything else. If you cannot do that, then nothing external is going to help because you can always find a way around it.

I will leave the technical answers to someone else.
