So I have been doing poorly in my academics and I have been neglecting any activities in general besides sitting at my computer and browsing the internet. It's been causing me a lot of stress due to my family getting angry at my mediocre grades and the fact that they yell at me for not doing tennis varsity this year. The only thing that I seem to be doing that is productive is coding various programs in fact it landed me a possible job at linux if I finish my academic prerequisites. The thing that bothers me is that I used to be a straight A student and now I am getting C's and D's on my report card ever since the end of my sophmore year and I think I know the reason as to why its because I do not study, but, I do not know how to study for school usually I just memorized all the things on the test on my first time and I was never taught study habits. There is also the fact that I cannot force myself into studying even if I tried to. So now I am completely stressed out because I have AP tests coming up and I do not know the material all that well as indicated by my grades because I cannot seem to just understand the material like I used to thus making me fail most of the test given to me and probably the AP tests as well. It's not like I am stupid or anything either according to an IQ test the school ran I am in the gifted range and when I took the SAT I got around 2150 on it on my second try. So now I am left with zero motivation to do anything in school because its almost the end of the year so its obvious the grades now are going to be the same grades that will be entered into my transcript and I can't seem to just naturally get the material. In short I have a lazy work ethic when it comes to school and anything that goes beyond playing video games, watching anime and coding I have zero interest in now and don't know how I can motivate myself to do well when I just fail perpetually and as stated before, I cannot seem to amend these short comings either because I do not know how to do well in school besides just learning the material the first time I am exposed to it. Its also been also making not want to do other things outside of academics as well such as playing a sport or working towards completing my prerequisites for that linux job and so on in fact it has gotten so bad now that I am beginning to also ignore doing my chores.
