I have a sister who is just not motivated to study. She herself is pretty weird. She is a really sweet girl but when anyone mentions "study" or "books", she turn into this horrid catty girl.
I tried the soft approach as well as the hard approach.. but she doesnt seem to take both ways well. Any ideas?

It sounds like insecurity: she doesn't feel good about it and would rather react badly and avoid the whole thing. This is pretty common, unfortunately. As her sister, you might be the wrong one to motivate her because people have a way of comparing themselves to their siblings, and it might make her feel like she's supposed to be you instead of herself. The people most likely to nudge her in the right direction are friends or someone else she wants approval from. Or maybe if you find out about some goal she'd like to work towards. She might not realize this for years, though...

now and returned I tell myself that i will write a paragraph then study a internet site in my famous e book. Or now and returned it only helps to hearken to my famous songs on a similar time as writing my essay. Or, you could advantages your self with food, like a prior commenter pronounced. yet you will experience lots greater advantageous as quickly as you end it. (i'm certainly attempting to artwork on a Social analyze DBQ yet instead, nicely, i'm right here.)

hello, i have a similar problem... my case is a lack of motivation to work... i guess it's because i am having a hard time accepting my life at present... like there's no more purpose, no goals, no aims, no dreams... i wish someone could help me get to the root of my problem and settle this once and for all... i believe your sis wants help, but is pretty certain that it's uncurable...
i'm living my life still, but i'm really negative to a lot of things in life... sigh... gd for you for helping your sis :D

i think maybe she feels that it is unnecessary to study for sumthing she won't be using in life?
or maybe bring up that wat she is studying for will help her in the career she wishes to pursue.
an effective way i studied for finals was with a friend and even tho we fooled around a lot, we still got a lot of studying done.
good luck! i hope she ends up liking to study becuz it can be fun =]
