Can I get some help with school

Do you have options to take more difficult classes? You might get blocked because of your grades.

You are not going to find a trick that's going to make homework fun or motivation outside yourself. Discipline is an skill, it only comes with practice.

For me, it was thinking about my future. I wanted to go to a good college, I wanted a successful career. Good grades will facilitate that. Being a high schooler and having discipline must be a lot harder now, though. With the internet, video games, smartphones, and porn, I don't know how I would cope as a 15/16 year old.

The only way I can think to externally provide discipline is to create some accountability for yourself. Ask your teachers if they will email your homework assignments to your parents, and ask your parents to visually check that the assignments are complete. Then set up a reward system with your parents. Maybe if you complete all your assignments for a month, you get a new video game, for a whole semester, maybe a new phone, stuff like that.

Thanks for the reply. The thing is reward systems dont really work for me because i dont care about much. Like i dont care enough about phones, money or anything to make me accomplish something i otherwise wouldnt. Im not really a materialistic person.

Are you in high school? I mean it probably isn't as important to get good grades as it's been made out to you anyway.

Yes i am in highschool.

Do you have plans for college? Something that might help keep you focused is the long-term goal of getting accepted into the college of your choice. Knowing there are academic based scholarships might encourage you to work harder to get that homework done. My daughter hates homework but she does it because she's gotten 2 B's in her entire life - the rest have been A's and is currently on the Distinguished Honor Roll list. She doesn't want to slip. She's in 7th grade and if she can have that mindset at that grade, surely you can being in the 10th grade.

I never have considered not going to college, ive never really valued college much either though. I know i need to go to a college, but ive never really seen the difference in going to a top one vs something else. I have always just thought i will do something great regardless, i think maybe thats my problem, im looking too much in to the future. Often i worry about things like death, and not accomplishing anything, not inventing anything or leaving my mark in any way, i like to think about broad ideas.
