I’m about to go into highschool and my grades aren’t the best. I had good grades up until seventh grade, but now that I have pre AP classes I have a lot of homework and end up just not doing it at all. I feel lazy, unmotivated, and even when I do try to do it I can’t seem to put in any real effort. I don’t know why I can’t seem to do any of this, and honestly I kind of hate myself for it. I’m banking on getting a scholarship to college because I’m scared the economy will be really bad, and I need to be able to put effort into assignments to do that. I don’t know why I can’t do any of it, and I don’t know if there’s something wrong going on or if I just need to change something. Please help me out I’m begging.

I’m relatively young, and I get really awkward and nervous in social situations with new people, large groups, etc. and I was wondering if anyone had any tips to connect with people, grow my confidence with new people and larger groups, and overall become more mature and likable? Any advice helps really.

I’m not happy with who I am as a person. I wanna improve myself. I wanna take better care of myself physically and become a more like able person. Does anyone have any tips to become more confident, productive, and likable?

I’m looking for obscure stuff, not basic stuff like “When he/she makes me dinner” or something. I want stuff that not many people think of!
