What can I do besides cut myself so I can forget about things and get my homework done?

You need to talk to your parents, school nurse, counselor, about getting help.  You need to find a counselor and a doctor to help with these feelings.  You also need to remove all the blades away from you, to help you stop.\n\nThis is a serious problem, that happens to a lot of people.  I hope you take care of this quickly.

You can do a lot of things. You can stay on the answer yahoo for some of the time, but sooner or later you will need to get off in order to get some work done. To make the day go faster, here at school, I go to sleep but I don't think that you are able to do that. I would read a book, believe it or not. Find a book and start reading it. You could make a new myspace web page. Anyways, this is some of the things that I would do.

use your NON dominant hand to do tasks.\n\nsit for 10 minutes a day, do NOTHING.\nNot even thinking about anything. Just concentrate on breathing in and out. Every time you catch yourself thinking, don't get mad at yourself. Just start all over again 'breathing in and out'.

turn off tv and radio. stay away from noisy environment. keep temperature at a comfortable cool. give in to distracting thoughts for fifteen minutes (as in write down everything that comes to your mind--as in anything!). then mentally tell yourself, i will go back on all these as soon as i finish my homework. it works! try it!

If you want some specific solutions, be more specific about your problems. Are they lesson-related, or homework-related, or teacher-related, or relationship-related??\n\nOtherwise, just relax and take things as they come. School is supposed to be the most fun you'll ever have in your life - so look at it that way and enjoy the good along with the bad. Just chill my friend...

thats so cute! I remember the 5th grade it can be really stressfull and relaxing can be tough after a long day at school. The key is to start your day right and then end it right-have breakfast, be sure to bring your homework home because if you leave it at school you'll sress all night about that big fat ZERO the next day, and study up on the subjects your taking. Other than that listen to music, watch t.v., call a friend but no gossip until relaxation, or go for a walk or bike ride. Good Tips: join an athletic sport such as cheering, softball, soccer, etc. you may find this as a nitch, something you like doing and it would relax you.

You have to remember, school comes first, and if you don't pass, you don't play.  I would suggest doing your homework as soon as you get home, and having free time later, whether it is to play basketball or do something else.  You have to stay focused on what is important.

Do your homework when you have the chance because that way you can concentrate on it instead of rushing through it on the day its due. Even if you want to take a break from it you can but u cant if you wait until its due.

The answer to this is: routine.  Always do your homework at the same time of day, or do things in the same order.  Example: come home from school, have a small snack, check your email, and then do your homework.  Or always do your homework right after supper.  And it's okay to take a break, but make that structured into your routine as well.  Do your math, walk the dog, and then do your English.  That kind of thing.\n\nAnd, as others have said, get yourself away from distractions while you're doing it.  If you don't need the computer to do your homework, then stay away from it.  Don't even do it at the computer desk if you can get away with it.  Go somewhere where there's no TV, no stereo, no video games, no pets, no pesky little siblings, and no friends!  Only study with a friend if you get as much or more done than you would if you studied by yourself.\n\nAnother thing that might help is to give yourself rewards.  Tell yourself you can watch TV or play video games only after your homework's done.  \n\nSelf discipline is hard, no doubt, but wanting to have it is a very good first step.  Keep trying!  The only true losers are the ones that don't get back up again.

~ Do your homework right when you get home before turning on the TV or computer.\n~ Find out if your school offers an elective that teaches study skills, or see if there is a tutoring program you can join.\n~ If a teacher offers a study group for a test go for it, he/she will know exactly what you need to study and you won't be wasting time memorizing the wrong stuff.\n~ Pay attention in class and take notes.  If a teacher writes something on the board copy it down, the teacher wouldn't waste his/her time writing down something unimportant or irrelevant to the topic.\n~ Use a planner or some type of organizing book to write down homework and *check it every night*.\n~ Once the teacher tells you the scheduled date for a test start studying, even 15 minutes a night will make a difference.\n~ If possible, study with friends, this can help a lot because different people might have ideas you never would have thought of for remembering certain topics. (Just don't waste time fooling around or getting off-topic until the studying is done.)\n~ Eat a good breakfast, get lots of sleep, and participate in sports. ( The brain needs food, rest, and a stress relief.)\n~ good luck : D

go to school do your homework and listen to the teacher. Also ask question if you do not know how to do something.

Well, I give you kudos for at least being honest about the fact that you know how, but you just don't want to have to spend all afternoon doing your homework. But you know what, hon -- that's part of being a student. Some days, most of your day will be filled with getting homework done. Turn on some relaxing music and get going. You'll be fine.

Get organized. U won't be able to do anything without knowing what is goign on. Study for a least an hr. a day, and if u don't get the material, get a tutor they help a lot. Also if ur school has any after-school clubs that help kids that are having trouble join! Take notes in class, and I know that this is sort of boring because ur teachers probably drone on about something that u think isn't important, but that will probably be in the exam, try to listen to ur teachers. Cancel all plans with friends because u need to pass or ur future is down the toilet. Make sure u study a lot (even on weekends!) I hope u pass the exams I know they are SUPER hard, but I sure do hope this helps. Don't worry a lot of people go thru the same thing u ar going thru right now! If u need any help, use Yahoo Answers there is a lot of people out there that want ot help (like me)!

Put aside a certain amount of time each night to work on your classes. Try to become organized. Make a folder on your computer labeled School and keep all of your work in that one folder. \n\nDon't let yourself fall behind...it's horrible trying to catch up. Don't wait until the very last minute to do anything or you will get stressed out. That's probably the most important thing.  \n\nTry to keep it spread out so you only have to do a little at a time...it won't seem so daunting that way!

You just need to get yourself on a routine.  Say you can't party until you do your homework, do your homework and study RIGHT after class so you don't have to worry about it later.  It's worked for me thus far.
