Why can't I focus? 10 points best answer!?!


Question: Why can't I focus? 10 points best answer!?
I have really never noticed this before:
I just entered high school this fall, I'm 14
In a lot of my classes, I really can't focus. I just space out. Yesterday I was looking at math notes (i thought) and snapped awake when the warning bell rang. It was really freaky. And if I don't zone, I fidget. Twirl my hair, move my legs, bite my nails, bounce my pencils. It's really annoying. And I'm insanely worried because my violin teacher noticed! She gave me a tip to make the song easier (private lesson) and then said, "If this will distract you, don't do it" OMG i was so embarrassed! What do you think is wrong? I'm pretty smart, no AP classes but I do well in regular grade level courses.

Answers:

First.thing are u getting enough sleep? That alone can drastically affect your ability to focus. Secondly how is your diet? Make sure.you are getting a healthy diet and a good breakfast every day. Take a multivitamin. Of this is not helping, you may want to see a doctor or therapist, it sounds like you may have an attention deficit problem or.disorder which is very common and very easily treated with medication to help you.focus better. This does not mean you are slow or anything else it just means.that something in your brain which controls your attention and.focus.just needs a.boost with.the help of medication you can turn this around 100% and you will notice a huge difference in how you function in school and at home. I would go to my parents and have them schedule you a appointment to see your family doctor.and.explain to him or her your problems with focus and distraction. I hope that this has helped you.

I have had the.same problem and with the help of medication I got better and was able to focus and not be distracted. also I learned that I had to eat healthy and get a good 8 hours of sleep each night



You might want to start by looking at what is in your diet, sugar, caffeine, etc. Seems to me you probably are healthy young person, so it has to be something like that.



Nothings wrong

Maybe your just nervous and tired, dont go to bed to late and if you zone out to see if you are awake pinch yourself



Maybe your thinking of guys or some other thing in your classes.



I'm in college but my roommate has the same problem. She had it in high school, too. And she could never focus, and also took a very long time to take tests. Eventually she was tested by the school psychologist and it turns out she has ADHD. The school thought it was odd because she was a good student (and usually people with ADHD don't do well in school). But once she was diagnosed with ADHD she started taking a medication for it that helps her focus, and she said it has helped her immensely! I can't say for sure that you have ADHD, but you could at least look it up and see if you match most of the symptoms. Hope this helps :)
Also, you might just have to train yourself to get better at focusing, it's a hard transition going from middle school to high school. But I hope it gets better!
