I forget things quick, not that my memory is bad, but recalling the recent past is the difficulty, I'm just 14

Question

As far as my memory is concerned, I remember things that had happened, even those of my childhood, but instances when I forget that I had to keep that certain thing back at its place, or dry the shower place after shower, or what i had to buy in the market , happen a lot, damn to much. And due to that, I always get scolding from my mom and dad, please help.
Gratitude in advance.

Answer 1

Forgetfulness can be from a lot of different things--stress, being overtired, not eating properly, or having a lot going on are some of the most common. Using certain drugs (or substances your elders might call drugs but your peers might not....) can also cause memory loss such as what you describe.

Try to see if any of these things are true about you, then seek to modify those things, and see if your memory doesn't improve. Also, something I have found helpful is, if I am forgetting things such as the grocery needs, I actually do make a list. It won't help you with the shower curtain, but it can help you not come to the end of each day saying to yourself "rats, I forgot to do....."

Can you talk with your parents about your concerns? Are you doing OK in school? How about when you are with your friends, are you having the same forgetfulness with them? If your memory for recent events is functioning even in one setting, then it is not a matter of something wrong with your brain, which, I am assuming, may be the reason you have posted this question.

There can be other causes, but it is best to check and eliminate the simplest ones first.

And generally, if you are getting along OK in most of your life (and it sounds rather like you are), perhaps this is a case of normal forgetfulness (we forget stuff from time to time, doesn't mean there is anything wrong) and you are looking just a wee bit too close and worrying just a bit more than you need to be.

It may just be that if you relax a bit with yourself and try not to focus on your possible memory problem, you will find the problem goes away on its own. Absent the above causes, memory issues in a 14 year old are thankfully very, very rare.
