Lately, i've been completely apathetic about almost everything. I'm usually the type of person that tries my best in everything i do, and thinks about the consequences before doing things. Like, before this "wave" of apathy, i would always do my best to do my homework, and i had stopped smoking weed as i had promised my best friend. Now i don't feel any pressure to do my work, and i smoke weed like it's nothing. When it comes to school work, once i accept the fact that i'm gonna do bad, then i'm fine with it. I used to be so motivated, and now, the motivation is just gone. Part of me thinks it's partially my friends' fault because they consider me like, the "dumb" one of the group because of how i act. before, i didn't let that bother me, but now it seems like i've just accepted the fact that they consider me dumb it's like i don't feel like doing anything important anymore, and all i want to do is relax. it's like i'm bored in life. what do i do? how do i get the motivation back? if i let this go on, my grades will suffer even more, and it'll hurt my chances of getting into university

Well it seems you have the potential, but you lack the confidence. Im pretty much like that too. But I think of deeper consequnces than just 'Oh well Im going to fail' Maybe you should first set up a goal. Like an ambition first. So you do want to go to a UC. Relate all those failings to that. Hopefully your consequences will be your motivations (more like a warning, but whatever ) Be more positive on yourself. Procrastination is well .. if you do procrastinate, getting rid of it will be like getting rid of a friend. You'll have to make sacrifices. Probably just get one of your friends to like help you review the lessons or some shit like that. Its most likely smokin the grass is making you. apathetic. When you smoke weed, first thing that'll probably pop in your mind will be 'fuck it' You'll probably be thinking "Fuck everything in life, fuck my schoolwork, fuck the problems, Im Fuckin High, so leave me the fuck alone" You gotta limit yourself on that. Hide that shit. spend your money on something else. Buy yourself a new pair of shoes or that nice track jacket on the window or something. That'll probably raise your apathy up. Do something you used to enjoy. Play a little bball with friends, or try something new. Ah well anyways, If you still need help PM me

i think it is partially a confidence issue. like, it's either i don't do something because i don't think i can do it. or i don't do it because i don't wanna do it. it's basically a lose lose situation for me. one of my best friends had been my main motivator to do well in school, and to stop smoking weed. now that we're not as close, it's like, i feel that i can't do it on my own. she's been able to smarten up, and it's like, since she's good now, she stopped motivating me. i'm not blaming her or anything, i'm just saying she's probably one of the only reasons i was motivated to do better; because i wanted i wanted her to know that if i could do better, she could do better too. also, i do have a hobby. i play basketball.. that was my main motivation until my parents began taking it too seriously. they treat it like basketball is my life, and my eagerness to play basketball is just not there anymore. i used to play basketball when i felt burnt out, and then i would start up my work again. now i just can't wait till basketball is done. sorry this is long.
