Yeah, stop doing drugs. Haha just kidding. I know you don't do drugs. Anyway, that totally happened to me when I was your age too, so it might just run in the family. It still happens to me. I never remember anything.

have you ever smoked pot or done drugs?? they cause you to forget things not just when you are doing them but even when you are sober

Drugs, drinking, talking a lot on a cell phone [I believe] and watching TV up close can all cause memory loss. Try paying attention a little more?

stress. your mind might not function normally. people can get all kinds of disorders.

Everyone has brain farts. Even at such a young age as fifteen they can occur often. Also, as others mentioned before me, drugs, drinking, and all of that stuff inbetween are not exactly good for brain power.

If you think you are experiencing a more serious short term memory loss problem then you need to see your doctor...before you forget!

It could be as simple as laziness.
Many people now rely on electronic devices to remember things (like mobile phones for instance). Because of this, a lot of people do not remember things like their own home number.
And the brain is just like a muscle - if you don't use it, you lose it.
Practice remembering things. Start out simple and work your way up. Try memorizing the first 5 cards in a deck of cards one day, the next day see if you remembered. Keep doing this until you can remember then go up to 6, and so on.

In no time you should be finding your memory is improving.

any history of PTSD?
