I'm going nuts
1)How can you tell yourself to let go and not be so worked up over not being able to finish your sch work on time?
I force myself to understand every single impt point and if I fail to do it, I scold myself for being slow. Don't tell me to ask my teachers because it all boils down to me having to concentrate hard while reading through my text.
When I study, I expect absolute silence. I get very agitated when any of my family members talk or listen to music. When they switch on the tv, I tell them to lower the volume. I know I am capable of blocking out those noises but I CAN'T SEEM TO DO IT NOW! Somebody help! Tell me the obvious, whatever just help me!
P.s don't tell me to switch on the radio or listen to classical music. It doesn't help while I'm studying.

Your problem with focusing may not be your fault at all. How long has this been going on for? If you have spent your entire school career not being able to focus, complete work on time, and are distracted repeatedly by any little noise and cannot block things out you have likely have a problem that can be easily fixed.
You should talk to your parents and teacher about this and tell them exactly what you told us and the severity of it. The next thing you and they should do with you is set up through your school a test for a learning difficulty. You might have a mild form of ADD or other learning difficulty affecting your ability to focus and perform.
You need to understand that when it comes to writing and homework that the best thing you can do learning problem or not is to develop a study schedule with breaks in between where you can do something else and then go back to it.
For example try spending 30 minutes working on one subject and then break for 15 minutes and find another piece of homework to do and cycle through things Like that until they are done. Your teachers also know strategies you can employ here to help yourself in this area.
I do think it vital to get tested for a learning problem as a lot of the signs you describe here seem to go along with mild ADD to other learning problems. You should rule this out at least and be truthful with your parents and your teachers about how bad the issue is.
There's no need to feel embarassed about this as the adults in your life are there to help make things easier not harder for you. Your grades will improve and perhaps other areas of your life as well if you tell the truth to your family and educators.

Go to a quiet place only you know about. Or just go in your room & study. You can tell them to switch the volume down, or switch it off, but they're gonna forget & they're gonna do it everytime you study.
