I hate this.
 

Omg this is ridiculous. If anyone remembers, I made a thread about my sleeping problems, and that is fixed. But now that school has started, I still phase out and sleep during class. I had so much homework today it was amazing. I told myself I would be good this year and keep up / go ahead of the class. But I am ALREADY far behind, and school has only been up 1 week. If I mess up this year, my future is gone. To make it even better, I have no motivation to do my homework. I know I know, my future is f-ked, my life is f-ked, I won't find anybody, etc. But thats not working the mind to do something. Can anyone give me some tips on what to do to get some motivation or to at least stay awake. Please no immature posts flaming me, by all means make a thread in the flame forum. I just really need help right now.

Well, one slap yourself because of your lack of motivation (j/k man)

I can say this: if possible, smuggle in a tape recorder to class. Record what happens, it might be better that way. If you can't, well, pinch yourself if you feel like you're falling asleep or have a friend wake you if possible. Or drink LOTS of caffeine before school. It's only been 1 week, ya ain't fucked just yet. I can give you motivation: imagine life going through garbage for food, drinking shitty water from a polluted river, imagine having to live outside where it is nasty and dirty and not a clean house. Now get your ass to the homework and do it! Also, spend less time on the computer.

for sleeping problem drink alot of coffee before you go to school. for homework tell your family what homework you have and make them stay by you until you finish them.

stop siting on ur ass watching tv and play video games, get out and get some sport hobbies like basketball, soccer or something.

You at ? high school? or college? If high school sleep as much as you need, those are cookie cutter classes. Well you can also do what Osmoses said drink some stuff with caffein in it.
For homework, if you have trouble with HS homework, your future already doom, if you are too lazy to do them, then first break your d2 cd, then break the Tv, then call up all your friends telling them you are a fag. Now you have all the time in the world for yourself :).

I have the exact same problem pretty much. I have no motivation to do a damn thing. I never have been able to fix it but maybe you can turn around before its too late. I think D2 is what did this to me. It made me such a bad procrastinator and then I don't even bother to do it. I suggest you get someone to give you a swift kick in the balls before you lead down my dark path for the rest of your life.

timmay quite d2 man don't lose your future for a stupid game

pffft. Most behaviors like what you describe are mannerisms people already exhibit before being sucked into something like D2. I've slept thru class and procrastinated since 7th grade and I wouldn't exactly recommend it for most people.

Anyway, I had the same problem you do. I slept thru class, I did about 5% of my homework (which caused me to fail 9th grade, as homework is a FUCKLOAD of your grade in Accelerated curriculums such as Seminar/GATE/etc.. programs). I would Ace every test, get perfect (or near-perfect) scores on classwork, but still fail the course, due to how much homework counted when I was in the GATE program (I wonder what they call it now?)...

Just do whatever it takes to get good grades, as your grades are all that matter, not retention/work ethic. I am, of course, speaking of what it takes for College Admission...

That's enough for now.

Let's see, caffeine sounds good, or have a friend keep you awake in class. Or, take a nice hot shower and get some water in your eyes to wash the sleep away.

Oh, and if you're going to college, you may want somewhat of a scholarship so you don't have to spend and assload of money on tuition. That should be motivation. Just unplug your TV, have your parents password protect your computer so you can't get on without them (yes, of course, there are those that can find ways around this), plain do your homework because there isn't much else to do, unless you have an unbelievable social life.

If anything else, do it for your parents. It must suck for them even more so then you because they think they failed in bringing you up (not a flame, just a statement), make them not think that.

Play some sports, it would probably help.

Print out a wallet sized photo of mantra and jack off in class.

there was some kid masterbating in our school but don't know what they did to him and i don't think that will help him grav.

I drink like 10 pepsis befor i go to school. It works.

I didn’t like doing my homework at home. There were always too much distractions and better things to do. What I suggest is doing your homework at the school library after class. Honestly there is no better place to do homework. You have every thing you need in an environment that is optimal for reading/studying.

As far as staying up in class, once you catch up (or even a little ahead) and know what’s going on then class gets a little more interesting.

That's true. I do my homework in my free time in school or when my teacher is giving a lecture.

You piss 10 times evey class.. that's why you don't have time to sleep.

I usually piss aprox. 4 times a day.

TMI, queerbait.

It matters not whether you win or lose; what matters is whether I win or lose.

i still recommend sports though, because it helped me and it will help u.

If you can't motivate yourself you need to wake your ass up and stop feeling sorry for yourself, like I did this year. There is no bull shit about it. If you have an IQ anywhere above 90 (even George W. Bush has that) than you CAN get good grades. Getting good grades for 75% of people is a CHOICE, nigga. Get off D2. You need a wakeup call. I've been like you since I was born, but this year, I am kicking ass hardcore.

Thanks you guys. You guys all helped out. If its okay with the admins, can you guys keep this thread up for a week or so, so that I may look back on it a few times.

No one is about to close it. I would certainly like to know how you are doing in the next few weeks. Good job, and dropping D2 is one of the best things you can do!

Bah, whats up with the hating on D2. I play the game and do good in school, its all about where your priorities are. If you think that D2 is the reason you aren't getting your homework done then quit the game. But, more than likely its that you just don't want to do your homework; and are using D2 as an excuse for you to not do your homework. But getting rid of the game will only allow something else to take priority over your homework.

Maybe you should try setting aside like the first hour from when you get home from school to do your homework, and for that time just work on it. Do nothing else, force yourself to get it completly done. Then you have the whole night free to do whatever you want. Also playing a sport can help because this will help to structure your time so you don't just keep putting things off.

Well, what I did was went cold turkey with D2 for about 2 months. Then, I went back and I didn't want to play it every waking moment. Worked wonders for me.

isnt that like, dangerous? :weird: ahh man, it had the wrong quote, it was supposed to be about the ten pepsi's thing

See, my teacher, Mrs. N, shes psycho. She looks at me all the time and she sees me doing my homework, but she doesnt care. She's really psycho though because she says all these really stupid things and then laughs at them. Complete idiot.

I think she likes you O_O
