Well I have been having this problem for as long as I can remember. I can't focus on onething for a long time. For example if Im trying to study and someone has a tv on in another room I am complety distracted. When I try to do my homework I end up jus closing the book saying I will do it later then the next thing I knw Im sitting in class wit a failing paper in front of me. I never could go to my parents about this because they wouldn't listen but it's really affecting my school work.

    Dude I stuggle with the same thing it is called ADD. I have ADD (attention deficit disorder) I would google it to find out more. I can't exacty tell u what it is... but I can tell u this it is when u try to focuse cetain part of the brain get "swiches off" and u can't focuse at all. There is medicine for it just talk to ur doctor about.

    Add. Go to the Amen Clinic. Dr.Amen revolutionised how add is diagnosed and treated. He has a program, that I am on, that teaches you how to cure this condition by healing your brain. If you can't go to the Amen clinic, get the entire program. It's expensive but it is worth it.

    I don't blame you. The school content perhaps does not interest you and your parents don't seem to be concerned. What I used to do for motivation was get a study partner and we'd compete with each other to see who could finish studying faster. Nerdy, but it worked great! You can also try playing classical study music while doing homework... maybe you're just being nervous. How much you put in in school is how much you get and maybe even more.

    Pretty much normal. And, don't think like,

    "Alright! I'm going to study now... But what if I get distracted again?".

    If you think a little bit more positively, you can actually concentrate. But if you still have problems about concentration, better talk to a doctor ;)

    Talk to a doctor. Try getting a prescription for adderal or Ritalin. ADD is a totally normal condition and you should be ok a few weeks after taking medications. Kudos for asking; most people assume they're morons and blame themselves.

    It is normal if you're ADD. I am 63 years old and started taking Conterta and it has changed my life. I have a job that requires lots of multitasking and picky paperwork. I have improved 100 percent. I.recommend it highly.
