you probably have a bad head gasket if it overheats all the time.... check your cooling system and you might want to do a flush...

but its most likely the head gasket.. check your oil make sure its not white.. and check the spark plugs for green coloring and white build up. I beleive thats coolant in the cumbustion chamber.

do you have an actual water temp gauge/meter besides the stock one ? either way, like massimo said, do a complete flush and check your oil for milky looking color.
