Article/Story <b>Question:</b> I am 18-years-old and studying in class XII. Every day I try to study hard but some sexual fantasies come into my mind and I end up wasting 1-2 hours daily. My board exams are approaching fast and I am worried about my future. What should I do? - By Anonymous <b>Answer by Dr Atul Aswani:</b> Hello 18! It is normal to have an extra dose of sexual fantasies as a teenager. That is because your hormones are on an overdrive. You must've become conscious of sexuality like never before. However, that should not mean that you are hijacked by your sexual life. Keep everything in its rightful place and things will work out just fine. If studying alone leads to boredom; try to study with a partner and make your studying hours as interesting as possible. Write, draw, make flowcharts and so on. Distracting thoughts decrease when you put pen to paper, instead of just sitting with a book and reading and getting nowhere. As soon as you get a thought which is unnecessary; get up from your seat; take a walk and be back. Exercise tends to decrease repetitive thinking and you could have a 15 minute workout just before you start reading. All the best. - Dr Atul Aswani is a Psychiatrist and Counsellor based in Mumbai.
