Hypicricital conscious; What should I do?

Right now, I want to study but in reality I just don't want. I will be honest with everything and divulge alot to show you what I'm dealing with. At the moment, I have two projects to do for my German and my English class (11th grade; Junior). I have just recently finished my German project and now I only have my English project left. I do extra work on my English and German because I am horrible at both. I don't my predicate from my subject, that's how horrible I am at English so keep the insults within please. Dealing with my laziness is a battle I just can't win, I tried forcing myself to do stuff but my critical thinking kicks in and questions why I am doing this. When I critical think, I think of why I'm doing this and how is this benefiting you? Those questions always bring me down and demoralize me to do my homework, especially with company around. I can't work with company around, I just feel as though there watching over my back which is somewhat unsettling.

What I did for my German project was to make a situation involving you and someone else in conversation at a restaurant. You are ordering food and having discussion but you also have to follow a long criteria established by the teacher. Me and my brother have just completed a video presentation about that and I am glad that is out of my way although I don't feel any different. I thought I would feel relaxed and free once I got finished with this project but the feeling has still yet to happen. Maybe it was the thought that was in the back of my mind, the thought of finishing my English project. That project isn't even due till next week Tuesday but I make a bigger deal out of things. The thing that is on my mind is the last few weekdays of school, my brain has been mixed up with this girl at school (who is the second person I hit on, she is ALSO MARRIED! My luck huh?) and my school studies. I promised myself and to my ****headed friends that love will not get in the way of my education like it did last year but apparently I have become a hypocrite and lied to myself; I fight it as much as I can but it is just to strong to fight off so it remains present always within me.

I would also like some advice on studying tactics, I have recently snapped at the smartest person I know because he thought school was easy and work is the real problem with life (school = easy, work = hard, important). I was acting as if I was Penn J. Teller and went all factual on his ass. I just don't understand how people can get smart so easily and go on with life as if it wasn't entertaining at all? I know there is alot to do in this world and I when someone says that there bored, I tell them to just pick up a saxophone and play your hear out :). I am a person who just got smart at the beginning of this year, I realized that being ignorant, very selfish, and being lazy will not get me anywhere unless if I put my life into use. I have no idea if the smart students where serious when they were in there middle school age or even earlier but does that explain the complexity of there brain? I want to develop my brain to the point till I can't anymore (I have no idea how far you can go but I will try my best); to become a smart individual. If I can find a good balance or blend between school and my personal life, I can surely prosper into something that is rare.

I have been assaulted with the idea that there are written procedures on how to become smart, like you have to do this or you have to be gifted. I have also been told, which I believe this message because I have a brain with logical senses, that you can be anything you want to be if you work hard enough. I know the cold, dim reality of this nation now, you can pick what career you want but many doors will be closed for you since those positions are already high in number or are already occupied. I thought about being a mechanical engineer or a politician or something with good money. I have made a whole post dedicated to a job with the highest pay so there is no reason why I should start another when it already exists.

Please folks, Help me with whatever you can. Thank you

Life isn't all about getting the highest paying job. There is no written procedure to becoming smart. It just takes dedication. You have to earn it. You're in high school. Have fun.

A girl in high school is married? :confused: is that even legal? :Q

You're already screwed. Based on your previous thread you want the highest paying job you can. You're life is going to suck - do what you like instead.

As others have stated, find your true happiness in life. If you try and please others, be it a high paying job, marrying and having kids by such and such age, getting a nice house in the 'burbs, whatever it may be, you will never be satisfied. You can never do everything others want/expect of you. Attempts to make others happy will fail, all while ignoring making yourself happy.

You are young, very young. There is no rush on things. Enjoy life NOW. Enjoy it tomorrow. Enjoy it ten years from now, but make your life about being happy. Push aside what others expect of you and find out what you want.

I wish I had freedom :(, my mother has me on a tight leash as my father lacks a leash on me (metaphor). I do have freedom but very limited freedom. I have screwed my life over when I was young and now I am obsessed with video games. It was supposably my passion to entertain myself with a false reality. I do feel good in a false reality because the world's problems just drift away but I have to face reality everyday like so many others. I face the problems of my youth and apparently it is what I think about all the time and that has been my mistake. I want to enjoy myself with music, like learn how to play the piano or start getting better with my bass and acoustic guitar but neither are tuned :(. School is apparently my life so far, it is also one of the main things I worry about. I worry about everything all the time and I do believe that is a problem, maybe it is blocking my sense of happiness. I would love to learn how to play a piano, so relaxing although the training would be vigorous. I have liked someone* that I shouldn't like, she is a part of my nuclear family. I really hate how people are trying to CORRECT ME *COUGH*, I am trying the best I can :(.

Evolved- your posts are hard to read. They ramble on, and it's hard to understand your point.

Anyways - life as a teen sucks, no matter what people say. You don't have any freedom. You're forced to go to school, get good grades, and then (probably) go to college. It's not like in the old days where you did what you wanted; you're on a set path..and yes, it sucks.

There are things you can do to make it better, but those you need to find for yourself. Try to accomplish something. And tune the guitars- a tuner is cheap- or you could even do it by ear :)
