[ ] Want to answer more questions in the Work & School category? Maybe give some free advice about: School?
First off, your not stupid. High school can sometimes be the stepping stone to not caring, or also just be a lot tougher* than middle school. I know what you mean completely, you feel like theres so much more out there. Like hanging out with friends, sports, etc. Sometimes you might just be tired after school and end up just not caring on doing anything. A way to change might be by trying to focus more. Kind of change your priorities. For example, you could set goals for yourself. Like your not allowed to go on your computer until all your homework is down. Or make some deals with your parents. Maybe get something you really want after you do good on tests. Not only will this help your motivation, but it will also show your parents that your trying. Try to maybe come up with new study habits, or even study enviorments. I'm sure everything will work out, you just need to up your motivation drive!(: ]
Just do your work, study. If you need help, ask for help. Maybe start reading more books. That will definitely expand your vocabulary, and you'll learn more which in turn will make you smarter.

Did you stop caring after you got 'stupid' or did you get 'stupid' after you stopped caring? During high school, you constantly have to read, write, do mathematics, take tests, ect...
After high school, sometimes you have to do the same things to keep up that sense of being smart. In order to get that feeling of being smart again, you should read books that are hard to read. It just makes you more articulate anyway. Read A Tale of Two Cities or some Nietzsche books.
Also, spend some time writing and if you have old books from school, look through them and do some of the activities that are usually in them.
