TRYING TO IMPROVE IN SCHOOL.
Okay so basically for years now i never cared about my grades...they were nothing but letters to me but now that im in high school i wanna show everyone im smart...the counselors & teachers & stuff know i am since i am considered gifted so if i do my homework i will be in AP classes cuz im in HONORS classes now. i really wanna know how i can get my act together. i understand all the work without paying attention in class but i dont like doing the homework &&/or classwork. i dont mean to sound like one of those people who think they are the best...i actually dont...just providing more details. i am currently in 9th grade & i started off good but it got bad && latelty i got my grades up. now that 2nd sesmter starts && we get to start fresh i dont wanna mess up like every other time.

it takes a lot of commitment to do this and a lot of effort. you're gong to need to do your homework very slowly, that way you will actually understand the material, and not just do it to get it over with. make sure you pay attention in class. if your friends are talking or bugging you during a lecture, just shush them and tell them to take it outside. TAKE NOTES. even if others arent. even if the teacher didnt tell you that you have to. its important to take notes. they become very useful in the future. also another key is being organized. if you're sloppy and messy, you wont find anything you're looking for and it will be a disaster. color code things if you must. also, do EXTRA CREDIT. it will be a HUGE help in the future i promise. even if you have an A, still do extra credit because you never know.. make you'll fail the final, but that extra credit will make up for the loss. ASK FOR HELP. if you dont understand something, dont just leave it alone and think "oh i'll figure it out later"... no.. figure it out NOW. talk to the teacher. if you talk to your other friends for help... they're not the best resource. maybe they were goofing off in class and wrote the wrong thing down. unless you can trust them, dont go to them for help. you have teachers for a reason.. they're there to help you. talk to them. before school after school whatever. study study study.. constantly. but dont over study because that will just fill your brain with junk and it will get foggy and comes test day, it will be hard to remember all the materials. ask your parents for help if you need. organize a study session between you and your teacher. talk to your counselor for a tutor.
just be confident and trust yourself and believe yourself.
i hope i helped :)
ps: try giving yourself a reward after every good thing you do. like for example- if you get an A on a test, reward yourself by going out with friends and just doing whatever. or eating something you tried to get away from.

Sounds to me as though you like a challenge! Are you bored with your school work? Maybe you should talk to someone about further testing to see if you belong in an even further advanced group? When people don't have anything that gives them a challenge, they get bored. Talk to some school counselors and teachers and see if they can advance you even further. Good luck, Todd the Gem Guy
