"Healthy mind in a healthy body."  If your grades are still good, I think it would be a good idea to keep doing both (basketball and homework) as long as you can.  \n\nYou might need to just juggle your schedule a little.  Can you get some or most of it done in study hall or at lunch?  (-: Teachers hate this, but I would often figure out what the homework assignment was going to be, and I'd do the homework while they were lecturing.  Is there anyway you can do some homework on the bus or in the car?  (I get terribly motion sick, so that wasn't an option for me.)

Do your 1/2 of the assignment, and before class starts on Monday, go to your teacher and tell her what is happening. Or better yet, if you have your teacher's email, email him/her the situation right now. The teacher probably has other contact info with your homework partner. Make sure you email your teacher before Sunday night though, or else your teacher will have the excuse of 'you waiting till the last minute to tell them.' to not deal with the issue. Explain to them [either in email or before class] that you just can't get your partner to do anything, and that you have worked very hard, and are prepared. Make sure that you seem like the good, responsible student. And ask all nicely how you would really like to be graded seprately, for the obvious reason. Most teachers i've had are really cool about this.\n And don't forget to make your partner look like a total idiot, that they are, in front of class, when you do present. Make sure that it's very very obvious that you did the homework, and they didn't. \nMake them seem very very inferior. \nI totally know how you feel, I'm a freshman in High school, and i've had plenty of upperclassmen already do that to me, just for the @#*! fact that i'm freshman and i care about my grade.\nHey, look on the bright side. Now you can gather your homies and jump someone. \nhahahahahhahahhahhahh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! oh yes! YEEEESSSSSSS!!!!!!!\nJust make sure that you don't get caught. And that the person, has no evidence whatsoever! No evidence. None!!!!\nhahahahhahahahah!!!!!!!!!!! \njust don't get carried away. Remember, you're the GOOD student. ;-)

Sounds like you can do what you want.  Working steady night shifts can be tiring but if you're young anyway it shouldn't matter.  Totally up to you.

It is normal. If you feel fine, then I wouldn't worry about it. You will gain the weight when your schedule becomes less hectic. Try to sleep well, it will do you good coping up with your assignments.

quit being lazy? well, i know it's not that easy. you know that you can be lazy and still be good in studies at the same time. you just have to know what you're doing and be on top of everything. i'm lazy and i still get by. i just keep in mind which stuff are due when and when do i have to start working on them. if they start creeping up on me, i start doing them so by the time they're due, i have something to present. also, don't get behind on your classes. don't skip because you'll have to make up for that one way or another.

ok well do u want to stay on the team? Do you really care about the sport? and your school pride? \n\nHere is what i would do. If you want to stay on the team make that very clear, in high school effort is really important. If your coach sees that you are TRULY trying to get better and make your team better he should keep you. Also talk to your coach on what you can do to be a better ball player and what you can do to help the team. He will respect you for that.\n\nJust my 2 cent

You need the sleep. Study right before bed and your mind will put it all into storage as you sleep. If you insist on staying awake your grade will be disappointing but try espresso or yellowjackets

if you want to finish your studies and end up with a good career then stay well clear of the stuff. it doesnt do what you think it does. there is no way you will be able to concentrate on your studies if you take the crap. it will ruin your life. it is highly addictive and has an abundance of side affects. you will age yourself terribly. you will damage your internal organs like your liver and stomach and not forgetting the daniella westbrook fiasco you could end up with your nose falling off.\nthe only way to really help you study is to set yourself a study timetable and stick to it religiously. make a list of all your assignments and work out a schedule to suit you. work outdoors if you can. fresh air really stimulates the brain. drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated this is essential to your concentration. eat small meals/snacks instead of big meals this will help to keep you alert, big meals make you tired. excercise to keep your muscles from cramping and it stimulates the blood flow to your brain. and most importantly get plenty of sleep. this is essential if you want to actually learn. a lack of sleep ruins your concentration. i can guarentee you will forget most of what you learn if you are tired whilst you study.\nhope this helps you. good luck with your exams. keep away from the cocaine!

Depends how many other activites you are involved with. But if you have enough time, it's not that difficult. I took it myself. As long as you prepare time to study it'll be fine. Structure yourself and set at least 2 hours to study and do homework a day. If your school is structured so the class is every other day, do the assignments on the day they are assigned, that way it avoids any clutter. Good luck!

Studying will be much more effective with a proper, balanced diet and the right amount of sleep to begin with. You need to develope a routine and stick with it. Of course that might mean having to put a limit on your T.V. time or game time. You'll have to minimize the partying, and time on the phone. Just make a schedule for these things and give yourself the time to study as if it were a job. In fact, as long as your in school you should just have the mindset that it is your job. Once you're done, you'll have a much greater advantage in the workforce.

Ultimately you, your coach, and your parents/guardians should make this decision.\n\nThat said, one mistake I've seen often made by talented young athletes is "playing up".  Whether it was a 10 year old playing on an under-12 soccer team or a high school ball player jumping to the NBA, the results on the whole aren't good for the athlete.  The young player's playing time is cut dramatically, they're also behind in terms of overall skill, so they're playing catch up to a degree, plus the aspects of socializing with people more mature than yourself is another gap to bridge.\n\nAlso, team environment/chemistry can play an immense role in how you perform.  My two worse experiences with basketball came with two teams where one had zero tolerance for mistakes, and the other placed a premium on winning at all costs while having no camaraderie.  It was no surprise, now reflecting back that for the first time in my life, I disliked playing ball, and struggled with my overall play.\n\nMy advice is to stick with your team, grow with them.  Varsity will be there later, and you'll probably be better prepared for it when it's time.  Good luck.

Well looking at the time of day you have already done it since you are posting this question. That is if you are at school like you should be. If you're not at school but playing on your computer then get your butt to school.

I know how you feel. When I was in college I was given a tonne of homework to do. I guess you should tell her that maybe she can lessen the load, but if your in high school don't expect any sympathy. They will just tell you to do it or get a zero.

u pretty much hav to block out your social life, and other electronic stuff while ur doing homework, turn off ur cell, computer, tv, radio, ect. you'll get your homework done faster, i have tons of hw every night, and i get it done in like 30 min - an hour, cuz its just easier to focus.

if you want we will start reporting you. then yahoo will stop you from coming here.\n\nremeber YA is here to stay but if it will affect your studies you may not afford it in future.\n\nif you do not need internet for you homework or studies try turning it off. if you live with your parents tell them about this problem and ask them to remind you to get off line and check you. your time is crusial at this stage.
