School PsychologistOne easy solution is to ask your teacher if you can stand up for a little bit. Sitting for an extended period of time can be difficult if you have ADHD, so standing may be a bit easier for you. Your teacher shouldn't have a problem with it if you aren't bothering anyone. Another option is to get a fidget toy and play with it under your desk. -

You definitely don't want to stay up late studying, as you'll have trouble retaining the information if you're tired. Make sure you start studying for tests well ahead of time so you're not cramming at the last minute. -

QuestionHow do I stay motivated in school when all my friends are going to leave me, homework makes me cry and none of my required classes have anything to do with what I want in life?
Community AnswerMap out a schedule for what you are going to do first, whatever you think is the most important. Then just take a second to breathe, and try to forget everything. Try to count to 10, but only focus on the numbers. Then start with that first assignment. Remember that required classes are like building blocks for your future. If nothing else, they can help you develop good critical thinking and study skills that you can use in any field.
