1) Find a reward system that works for you. If it's candy, games, AF.org time, whatever. You don't get to do what you want to do until homework is done.
2) Figure out what you want to do in life. You're super young to make hard plans, but set goals. Want to be a computer programmer? Better be shit hot at math and logic. Better get into a halfway decent school and work your ass off to make that happen. Getting excited about your future makes working hard to get there that much easier.
If you're looking for a trick to make homework exciting, there just isn't one. If you're not enamored with the subject matter, it's just going to be busywork and practice. But man, if that practice isn't worth it when you get to college and have 17 credit hours of coursework plus a job and a penchant for partying on the weekend. You're going to need those skills. If you don't have them, college will be just like high school. And that, my friend, would be sad.
Which is better:
To die with ignorance, or to live with intelligence?
Truth doesn't accommodate to personal opinions.
The choice is yours.
