School

[Picnore]

In school now a days I've been slacking off a LOT, my grades from grade 6, A's went to C's and stuff.

What I do:
Text
Text
Chicks
Friends
Sleep
Sleep some more
Stay up really late ( when I try to sleep early, I cant, simply cant, too much of a sleeping late habit )
Not do homework
Not study


That brings a lot down.
So, I'm wondering if someone can give me advice, don't say just do the opposite of your list ( I know some assholes are going to )
Can you advise me a slow change? Not too fast for me?

Thanks

There isn't much of a slow change here. Slow changes are for people addicted to something serious, not a lazy person.
This is what I do when I study/do homework:
-Turn of my phone
-Tell the chicks that IM me to fuck off for 2 hours.
-Sleep at night (self-explanatory)
-Tell my friends to fuck off for 2 hours.

I know I sound like a nerd, but I'm the laziest guy you will ever meet; I mean EVER. Yet I still find time to get my shit straight and do my homework. If I can do it, you can.
Good Luck,

I turn my phone off for 3 hours every day after school Motivates me to get things done

By the sounds of things you've lost your motivation to care for your school work. A tip I'll give you is to set yourself goals, and rewards. An example of this would be to study class X for 30mins a day and you can reward yourself by say 2 hours on the computer. This is just an example, but I think you get the idea. It's also good to try shut yourself out from the world whilst studying. Try things like turning off your phone, not having facebook/msn open, telling your friends your busy and not respond to you for an hour, etc.

Sounds exactly like me, I have one grade that's not an F. Now that I've found out that I'm .5 credits behind graduating I've buckled down. Now i just force myself to do my homework. I still sleep in class, but i get the homework from someone else then just teach myself from the book. Basically you just have to force yourself to do your homework and you'll be fine.

I never found texting so much of a distraction compared to runescape or even sythe. I used to be in the same position as you, and when report cards came out my parents whipped me.

I also started caring more about the future and college and realized runescape is not worth it. So I told my friend to change the password to my account and I haven't played since.

It seems to me, that you lack motivation. What motivates me to do well in school are pleasing my parents, succeeding in the future, and self achievement.

I imagine your pretty upset about your grades and after reflecting the past year your somewhat disappointed. I think the fact that you openly admitted that it's becoming an issue is showing that you do slightly care. So whatever motivated you to write this, use it to study and you will feel a lot better.

Honestly trust me because I went through the same thing and I imagine LOTS of people on this forum are experiencing the same dilemma as you.

-Leave your phone at home
-Spend less time online, more time studying.

It's not hard. Just stop doing whatever is keeping you from keeping your grades up.
