Alright, what you need to do is spend less time on the computer. I know I sound like a parent, but I was on the same situation in middle school. I spent all of my time playing Xbox and on my computer browsing forums. I got pretty depressed because I stopped socializing and getting terrible grades didn't help. Also, I'm assuming you don't get much sleep, you need to sleep so you can focus in class. If you forget about assignments, write the shit down in your planner and as soon as you're done with class, put your homework in your backpack. So, in conclusion, you need to socialize more. As for school, if you don't understand the material, ask your friends or girlfriend for help. Once you get the grades up, I can almost guarantee you will stop being depressed. Bad grades give a sense of failure, which leads to depression.Dusk said:@hold i am 16 years old. Outside of school i try focusing on my computer stuff as i want to be a graphic designer and a programmer when i grow up and it makes me fall behind in school im very very behind failing 2-3 out of 5 classes and then i have my parents getting on my case about that and i dont tell them anything because all they do is react and i recently over the months dropped all my friends i was "popular" and i just didnt like it and dropped everyone except my girlfriend and like 1-2 friends.
Honestly, if you aren't an extremely good coder/artist, you should just let that dream go. If you are average, you should quit and try harder in school. Just be realistic. But like I said, try harder in school and you will get better.Dusk said:@hold the thing about the computer is that when im on im doing business and or coding or designing which i need later in life because its what i want most im hoping that the pills that i get will help me stay more on task and work on everything and i need to make time for my homework and computer stuff at the same time i really dont play video games anymore and the socializing thing i tried it i got popular and i didnt like it ive always been like anti social that part doesnt really bother me as much i hangout with my girlfriend alot and thats all i really need because i have trust issues and i only really trust her
