i suck at essay subjects so I don't have any specific advice- for maths and i guess in general just keep on top of things (make notes as you're taught rather than at the end of the topic), resolve any understanding problems you have asap as they'll likely lead to further issues later down and stay calm.

good luck! (:

Anyone feeling they are wasting their youth. I feel like my life consist of getting good grades and academia and little else. I don't want to be at 40 and wish I made more use of youth. Or maybe I'm just bored. I'm 16 btw.

Actually you are doing very well keeping focus on your studies at the moment as you are basically building your future. Keep studying and make the most out of your education and you will thank yourself later for all these years when you studied hard.What you are doing is investing in yourself and in the future of your family later when the time comes. Education will open many doors for you and you will find it being meaningful and yes it is normal to get bored as you say.

Keep in mind that the frontal cortex is developing until the age of 25 and is responsible for your willpower, behaviour and getting things done + many other things, look into it if you are so bored ,you will be amazed.

Thank you so much. Sometimes it feels pointless especially when u don't always see the immediate results, especially when you come from a low working class background and caring about academics is an abnormal

If you're feeling bored,conduct in some sports related activities or activities in general. It's a great way of being productive in terms of staying fit and active. Should at the very least get rid of your boredom :smile:

Well , hard work pays off and is plenty of time to have fun. You stand a massive chance to do a damn well job and develop yourself. Set up goals to get more determination as well as to avoid mind racing in pointless things. Exercise will also benefit your mind and body short and long term.
