Hi,
a classic :) (which basically means to me that I stubled about this myself
sometime ago as well ;) )
Short answer: Don't write pages full of headings without some content between
them. Your problem will disappear as soon as you put some text between the
headings.
Long answer (hopefully correct):
Okay, the problem is that you put a lot of section headings in the file but no
text between it. Now latex refuses to insert a pagebreak between headings
because when writing "real" texts (e.g. texts with some kind of content ;) it
will look ugly 99% of the time:
<dummy text>
sometext sometext sd jcsdkjs fsdjöfkjskdf lksjdfl kjsdlfk jöfdjk ölkdjsfv
ölkjldfvkjl kdfjv kdfjv some
1.2 subsection
(*)
1.2.1 subsubsection

</dummy text>
At (*) a pagebreak wouldn't look nice, so latex prevents this. It's nevertheless
completely okay to start writing a text exactly as you did it, you just shouldn't
expect latex typesetting it sensible.
Good luck with your theses (you seem to be right in the beginning),
