Hey, I'm a really good student and everything, I'm also real smart. I'm in a gifted school, but I'm just not motivated. I really need some motivation!! thx =)

It all depends on what year you're in - when I was in years 7-9 I just couldn't be bothered because our only exams were our SATs, and in Britain they aren't important. Now I'm in year 10 and working towards GCSEs, there's like a real purpose to what I'm doing. Try and look at it that way!!
Have a goal to work towards as well - if you don't know what you want to be yet, think of something! If you do, think of every piece of work you are doing as something that is helping you to get there :)
Maybe you could study and do homework with friends at the weekend? Sure beats doing it by yourself!! Plus there's always someone to help out if you get stuck!
Start off by doing the work for the subject you hate, then for one you like, then one you hate, yadda yadda yadda - don't just avoid doing the stuff you don't like!! Take a break every half hour or so and give yourself a mini reward (e.g. chocolate, sun bathing when the weather gets warmer, a break from work, ringing up a friend, etc) each time you complete a piece of work :)
And finally, think that, once you get through this, you can hang out with your friends!! Try and stay away from MSN and any interesting sites or the TV while you're doing homework, although listening to the radio/a CD might help!
Hope that helped!
Blessed Be,
