Hard to focus in class?

Question

Hi,
Every time when I'm in class either my mind is looking at some girl or thinking about some girl. And sometimes I stare at the professors ( she is hot) and my mind goes somewhere. And sometimes there are professors who sound bored when they talk and my mind doze off.

How do I keep myself focus ?

Answer 1

I have the same problem. When you find your mind wandering, check yourself and say " Get your mind out of the gutter!" I hate to sound preachy, but it is a sin to think that way, even tho it is natural, we are human and we can controll it. If you can't then look around and read something for a little while. I know them flipping teachers can get boring and I often tone them out and put my mind in funner places. But when you feel yourself doing that, just remember, girls don't like guys who are always thinking about that stuff. Guys react to sight, girls react to words and touch. Look away, if a girl catches you staring at her, she might think you are creepy, unless you are pretty good looking, then she might be flattered if she is weird. Staring makes a person uncomfortable, especially us girls. We will probably think something is wrong with us.

If you are serious, then you may have Adult Attention Disorder.

Try just one day to really fucus on the work, if you can't do it, then there may be a problem. Some problems that make focusing hard, is our diets. If you eat high carb foods,candies before school, you're mind will naturally find it hard to focus. Get a good breakfast with high protien, such as eggs, bacon on whole wheat or oat toast. That way you get carbs for energy, but protein to balance out the highs and lows carbs can cause. If you want a snack at school, try nuts, they are high protien. If you do this for a few days and still can focus. You may want to go the schools couseling center, they can tell you how to get tested for AD. ADHD is where you have both the inability to focus and are physically hyper, you sound like it's just the inability to focus.

Also ask yourself this, are you in school for you or your parents, if you are not motivated to be there and do the work, you won't be able to focus and you are waisting your parents money if they are paying and the teachers time.

Perhaps you should go speak to a professional about this. You might just be an average horny guy, or you might actualy have a real problem that is far from uncommon. In one case getting laid regularly will probably be a simple solution, in the latter case, start fighting the fight.

Answer 4

Sit with a friend and have your friend bump you when you seem to be off in LA LA land. Better yet, sit in the front row so you can only see the professor and then don't turn around to see the hot chicks.

Answer 5

Same prob here. But I stare at the guys. I asked my cousin who I'm really close to and she said because u r a teen - adolocense. Try reading more about it on http://www.kidshealth.org/teen/ or www.youth2youth or www.teengrowth and other stuff.

Answer 6

Concentrate on writing your notes. It obviously easier said than done, but if you keep your eyes on your paper and keep your pen moving you'll be looking around less.

Answer 7

repeat what ever the person infront is saying in your head and ask a lot of questions even if you already know the answer.

Answer 8

Have you tried masturbating before school?

I know, sounds weird, but it may take away some of the urge...lol

btw, please don't flag this as abuse, it is a serious suggestion!
