Manage your work. Decide what you have to do that day and what you can do the next day. Do all of your homework right when you get home before you get distracted, and then you can have as much time as you want with your friends or if you go with your friends first, kind of give yourself a curfew that gives you enough time to do your work. Don't procrastinate too much because it all piles up in the end. You are the only one who can make yourself improve, so it depends on how much you really want it.

Tell your parents that you need to study and they CAN'T let you go with your friends until your homework is all done. Or make yourself a deal. Once your homework is done, THEN you can hang out with your friends. Just try really hard not to give in, I know it's hard. Good luck!
Hope I helped!

well you can do something after your homework so when you get home from school do your homework and if a friend calls tell her/him that you will call them back when your done

I deffinetly agree that this is a problem actually its funny you are having this problem because i was just having the same one not to long ago. I talked to my guidence consuler and she helped alot !! She said that when i get home from school the first thing i have to do is go and do my homework seeing that homework normally counts 10-15% of your finall average. Also i told my mother that she can no longer let me out of the house if my work isnt done except maybe on certain occasions but i mean you cant have occasions all the time it can only be every so often. Push youself to try and do your best. If you have study halls instead of talking try to get your work done there, when you go over a friends house do your homework together allow yourself to have fun but really buckle down and try to get what needs to be done, done first

Well, it sounds like you are lacking willpower. In all honesty, until you straighten out your own head and realize that choosing freinds is killing your grades, there's little anyone else can do, other than tell you to learn how to say NO to your friends and put some time in studying.<br>

Perhaps it would be wise of you to sit down with your parents and tell them this. Let your parents know that you are concerned about your study habits, and likewise your grades. Let them know that while you like being with your friends, you feel that you are slipping academically. Show your parents that you are concerned, that you are doing the mature thing by talking to them about it openly, and that you'd like some assistance from them.<br>
<br>
Also, try working on a nightly routine - set aside time for your friends, and set aside some time for study. When it comes time for study, you must remain on target and go do it - no slacking it off, else you're not doing yourself any favors. Choose a way to study, too. If listening to music while you study helps you, then do that. If silence if your thing, then go with that. Find out what atmophere you need to study best. Use that to your advantage. Personally, I found listening to instrumental music, or music that I was really, really familiar with helped me, because to remember the material I was studying, I'd just think of the song and it'd all come rushing to the fore when I needed the information.<br>

It is all about discipline - self discipline and self control. You need to develop it now and you need to take it seriously. And if your friends don't understand, they'll know in a few years when they are floundering about and you're succeeding.
