hi, i need help. I have so much trouble paying attention. If Im very interested its easier but with some things i try so hard to stay focused but i just end up getting spaced out. I also have trouble absorbing information. Like when i read its like im not really reading... like theres a wall between my brain and the book. I get spaced out when i read... especially things i dont understand, like fantasy. I just failed my first test in high skool bcuz of it and it really sux what should i do?
thanx

We have the same problem. In school it's hard for me to understand what the professors are lecturing. Although there are some things you can do...
Try this...
* Read your notes/book before you go to class.
* When you study do whatever you can to make it more interesting. For example, listen to some music while you study, in between your study session have breaks and eat a snack, could be anything.
* There are sites online that helps you build or increase your vocabulary. Do search for it online.
* Do search online for study tips. This could help you. For every person have different study habits.
* Lastly, talk to your professor and get some advice, I'm sure he/she will be willing to help you out.

If you do have ADD, the doctors will give you pills to prevent stuff like that from happening. Good luck. [ TinahOfCourse's advice column | Ask TinahOfCourse A Question ]
ljk88 answered Sunday August 29 2004, 8:50 pm: its very possible you have adhd... with this you can get medicine from a dr or just concentrate on on thing. if your watching tv and typing something for school turn off the tv and type... just do one thing at a time and also you have to force yourself to concentrate [ ljk88's advice column | Ask ljk88 A Question ]
andreagirly answered Sunday August 29 2004, 12:43 pm: you might have adhd. its when you are really hiper and you have trouble paying attention or focusing. the next time you go to the doctor just ask him or her about it. its nothing to worry about though! they just give you medicene if you do have it.

rainbowcherrie answered Sunday August 29 2004, 7:52 am: Well, if you're in class and the teacher is giving a lecture or talking about something etc, take notes so that later on you can go over it as many times as you like til it sinks in. When you absolutely HAVE to focus then try to get involved in the discussion by adding your points of view. Everytime you start to drift, stop yourself and tell yourself to focus (you will if you really want to-believe me.) As for reading, when you go off into a daydream try to stop yourself then just read over the bit you missed again til it sinks in. You can do it if you really try. good luck <333333 [ rainbowcherrie's advice column | Ask rainbowcherrie A Question ]
xxoBriannax answered Sunday August 29 2004, 7:45 am: You might have ADD? Take red bull everday before school, it helps you focus, concentrate, and perform better during the day. It works for me. Or you can go to the doctors or whatever and get adderal.
