Concentrating Problem
OK, well, I have this odd problem where when I do my homework, it's pretty hard for me to concentrate. If I hear the tiniest noise, I can't work at all. My parents have gave me earplugs, but I feel totally dorky and that there must be another way. Any ideas?
P.S. My family is LOUD, and I can't get them to be quiet.

Maybe give some free advice about: School?
I'm the same way, partly because I have a minor case of ADD. Which is an attention disorder and the slightest things throw you off balance of your agenda. Anyway, I suggest going up to your room, and shutting the door (obviously) and try to get some quiet homework time in. I used to do my homework at night, everyone was quiet then, but my grades are better when I do it right when I get home from school. Do you have a studyhall during the day? If so, a great way to get a head-start so you'll have less homework to do at home where it's too noisy. Also, if you want everyone to be quiet, here's what I do. My dad is normally watching like a football game with his friends and everything and I'm doing homework and they ARE REALLY LOUD! Lol. So my dad is like, obsessed with me going to college because he wants my future set up nicely. So I'll pull this thing where on a commercial I'll go up to him and say "Dad, don't you want me to get into a good college?" And he'll say yes then I'll be like "Well it starts with getting good grades on my homework because if I don't then I'll fail in that class and have my grades messed up then not be able to be accepted in a good college and who knows? my future could be wrecked!" even though a couple bombed grades won't have a huge impact on my college IQ type thing, you get what I'm saying. So try to convince everybody to be quiet by pulling the college thing. Works everytime. =]

Hey. I'm the exact same way a lot of the time whether it's a car outside or just the slightest noise. You probably feel really frustrated because you have to wear earplugs but in the long run you'll feel proud of yourself that you found a solution. I wish I had earplugs and it's not dorky and especially not when you get really good grades which is amazing in the long run. Also, you can go to a library which may be quieter and like get dropped off there. I really hope this helped and good luck! =)

Earplugs do work. Give them a chance, if you haven't already.
Is there any room in the house you can escape to? Or maybe you could sit outside in the backyard or on the porch? Also, go to a library. Preferably in a room besides the children's room. But they're a lot quieter, and less distracting. Unless you're like me and being surrounded by books is a distraction.. but that's another story.
Try investing in some good headphones. Noise-canceling ones help. But maybe if you had a comfortable pair that you could listen to music on quietly, it's help fade out the noise of your family/cars outside/falling pins. It helps for me. If you're the type to get distracted by listening to lyrics (like a lot of people) try classical. It's not as dorky as it sounds. Might I suggest the Star Wars soundtracks? (Okay, so maybe it's a little dorky! But they ARE good background music.)
I hope I helped! :)
