You may have trouble concentrating, and therefore staying on task with your homework. Get your parents to help you build some structure and stay on task. You need to turn off the TV, stay off the internet, don’t play video games until all your homework is done. Do some physical exercise before and during homework, like jumping rope, a trampoline, or a punching bag. This helps move oxygen through your brain and stimulate concentration.

Make sure your dad or mom checks that you have done all your math homework. If you can have coffee or tea and they think it’s o.k., you can drink a little when you get home from school to help you focus on homework, but exercise is better. Drink water often so your brain doesn’t get dehydrated. Mild dehydration sometimes causes a sleepy feeling. If your parents can afford a math tutor, ask them for one, if not, ask your teachers. There may be an after school study hall or help session for math. You should also find some buddies in your classes who are doing better than you and are willing to help you. Talk to your teachers about this.

As far as your reading and writing, you need to read books more often. Set aside 2 or 3 hours on the weekend just for reading, no television. Start at a level you can handle, and then move up to something more difficult. If you can’t concentrate on reading for long, put on some instrumental music (no words) such as J.S. Bach or something like that. This helps people keep a rhythm in what they are doing. You need strong lighting, fresh air, and a comfortable seat. Try reading outside when the weather is good.

Set goals for yourself and use a planner. Check it every day. Ask your parents for help with this. 14 is a tough age, but things can get better.

Lastly, your “laziness” might actually be due to a medical condition. Maybe you should talk to your parents and your doctor about why you feel tired or un-motivated. Don’t listen to the condescending, mean-spirited and ignorant people on here who get their kicks by condemning others. Karma will come around and smack them one of these days.

you are a typically confused adolescent male ..I don’t know how old you are, but it might help to realise that at a teen year or thereabouts your life is still ahead, your ‘difficulty’ in concentrating or following one subject shows you have an inquisitive,impatient and enquiring mind .. you’ll go far if you let your brain find its own happy area .. take a deep breath, relax, as the old saying goes “What’s for you, wont go past” ; do the best you can in those subjects you enjoy and then take the others as ‘challenges’ not obstacles.

And you also need to learn how to spell. The word is RETARDED with a “d”.

If you don’t want people to think you really are retarded, please never write something this incoherent again. I bet you’re smarter than how you come across– portray yourself that way!!

most improantly find things you feel a pashion for and build on it befor you know it youre all set

good luck
