16/f. i just turned 16 and i'm a female..and sophomore. from grades 3-9th i used to be one of the smartest kids in my school(s). I would always get As and get upset over any Cs or even Bs that i had.
this year, i got caught too much...with boys and attention seeking. instead of doing my homework, i would worry over looking pretty and losing weight for the next day. over the past 3 months...there has been a decline in grades/and ability to tell myself to actually do some schoolwork. (still, my grades arent THAT bad..its not like I'm failing. I'm managing to keep Bs and Cs in all my classes)
But I want this to change. I finally got a bf (after so many years...my first one) and i really want to get straight As again. I guess...the computer plays a major role in this. I spend too much time on it, during which, instead, i could be doing my homework. I've also completely let go of the subjects that I hate. I just didnt care. My "teenage depression" stage has passed by.
I really want to change. Does anyone have any advice on where to start? :)

1. since you are content with your boyfriend and arent looking for attention from other guys but him, that's one thing you don't have to worry about or stress over.
2. since you are obviously still smart, just listen in class, make an agenda and write down your homework.
3. when you get home from school get started on your homeowrk immediatley so you don't get distracted and go on the computer, because you can get your homework out of the way quicker.
4. It's good that you admit the computer is a really big issue that is contributing to your procastinating, so now you know what the big promblem is.
But don't overwhelm yourself, hang out with your bf, watch TV, unwind, relax, listen to music, give yourself a 1/2 hour on the computer and you'll be good to go. [keep a schedule or agenda to keep you organized]
