Answers:
!.!.!. sounds normal!. Of course in conditions like clinical depression there's a significant obtunding of cognitive function, including memory, which could explain memory problems more severe than your typical teen!.

ADD could explain your forgetfulness as well, even though im not a fan of diagnosing people with this!.

I'd think teenage-onset alzheimer's seems a bit of a stretch!.!.!.

Stimulants like adderall xr could potentially help your memory and the assimilation of information (perhaps in conjunction with other meds) in a case such as ADD or depression!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I'm not a doctor, but it doesn't seem like a HUGE issue!.
Get like one of those whiteboard calanders or even better yet, a date book thingy!.!.!.PLANNER! xD

Find one with a notes section, phone number section, etc!.
Be organized, use a planner, it'll help you trigger your memory and to stay organaized at the same time!
