You don't like your school work? We have a label for that kind of person. It's called "normal behavior".
Please do yourself the favor of discarding the "Indigo" label. Firstly because it's a complete fabrication. As with horoscopes, there is nothing at all to this label. Clinging to it accomplishes nothing except give you an excuse to not do something you don't wish to do.
I was a lot like you. I, like millions of other kids, shared a lot of the "Indigo" characteristics. I was "gifted" but disinterested in school work. I could pass tests with minimal effort and found all sorts of (perfectly legitimate) reasons to not be "involved" in student life.
I know you have no reason to listen to me, but refusing to put forth the effort now will result in life being a lot harder down the road a few years. You may know it all and have it all figured out now, but eventually your natural abilities will not be good enough. Then you'll have to learn to do what everyone else has been doing their whole lives--working at learning. Unfortunately, by this time, it's going to be a lot harder for you than it is for everyone else.
Another problem you may run into is being too apathetic. By reacting to the world around you, you put yourself at its mercy. Do what you can to change that while you still can. Try to figure out what you want to do for the rest of your life and then work at making it happen. Otherwise you'll wake up one day and realize your life isn't what you'd hoped it would be.
If you're looking for something really interesting to do, I would encourage you to research the New Age "Indigo" movement. Read into its history and, if you're half as intelligent as I think you are, you'll see just how preposterous their claims are.
I wish you the best of luck.

Don't worry, things will work out well in the end. Follow your intuition, and as the person said, find out what is your goal, why are you here? Your heart is both your best friend and a good guide, what feels right? And you should find the shortest route to your goal. If you can't find one right now, you will, just don't be closed to any possibility, no matter what it may be or how hard it may seem. And once that will be done, you will find an even greater goal. There are no wrong experiences, for in a way that is why we are here. You are the artist, and life is your canvas, what do you see? Keep your mind as clear from unsupervised or unproductive thoughts as you can, being in the moment, and know that all your questions will be answered. One way or an other.

You are not abnormal. Learn what you are interested in.
'Formal operational stage (Adolescence and adulthood). In this stage, intelligence is demonstrated through the logical use of symbols related to abstract concepts. Early in the period there is a return to egocentric thought. Only 35% of high school graduates in industrialized countries obtain formal operations; many people do not think formally during adulthood. '

The first step is to put away excuses, e.g., you're an "indigo child". That's just a New Agey gimmick dreamed up to explain why some befuddled parents have ill-behaved children. You sound like a normal kid, and normal kids often are disinterested in school subjects and get frustrated with going to class. It doesn't take a so-called "indigo" to experience that.
If you want to develop an interest in getting good grades, you should set your focus on the future and come up with a goal that you want to attain -- what do you want to do as a career? What interests you? It's probably going to take a college degree, and that means you are going to have to use the things you learn in high school to get through it. That should be a good motivating factor. Always keep your eyes on the goal, set intermediate goals you can meet, work hard, and you'll stay motivated.

You need to tell your INNER indigo child to put it's butt in gear. When you practice what is sometimes known as "self parenting" you end up developing all kinds of really cool attributes along the way that will be very handy later in life, when it's really important. A terrific place to start is to tell yourself what you would tell your own child or a younger sibling to do. Some people don't master the art of self-parenting until they get alot older (if at all).
People who don't self-parent for easy things like school work, end up not parenting for other things like food and money which is a good way to end up fat and broke. K?
P.S. to all you haters out there... there ARE such things as Indigo Children... they have to learn things just like everyone else... and just like everyone else, sometimes they just don't wanna.

You don't have to be interested in something in order to do it you can just do the work. There will be many things in life (required classes in college at the undergraduate level, a few if you go on to graduate school, paperwork and assignments beyond boring at work to name a few) that you will have no interest in, things that may be of no use to you ever, and just are not interesting to you.
However, if you want an education (and a decent job) there are hoops that others before you and others after you will have to jump through.
If you want to do something like drive a truck all your life I know a part of the country where a GED and a CDL (Commercial Drivers License) is all that is required and pays well. I don't recommend that option.

Its even broader than that. This happens to teens in general, not just indigo children.
by the way, there is no such thing as indigo children
