Focusing

Have you ever found it very hard to focus on something that you don’t want to do? Or something that you are forced to do? Well for me, I find it very hard to focus on things. Seeing that I am a teenager that was on the Honour Roll for the 2008-2009 school year, I find it extremely hard to focus on anything that I do now a days. For me to focus I need a motivation -- which I never used to need when I was younger, but this doesn’t just seem to be happening to me but a lot of other teens in my age group. We have all noticed that as we continue to get older we struggle to focus on things that used to be important and we seem to be more tired. I am normally more energetic then others but I am noticing that I am struggling to even focus on video games. This is something I used to play for up to six hours. Now I can barely play for two hours. Focusing is becoming a harder task for me and my peers and I am wondering if it has to do with the fact were getting older and going through our prime in puberty or if it’s just that we all have attention deficit disorder or if it’s technology overload (cell phones, Video game, tv). I also did not realize how important it is to focus until now. Now that I’m older, the ability to focus is primary to be successful as I am seeing that my marks and everything else in my life is slowly degrading all because I do not focus as much as I used to. The ability to focus is more significant as I get older and people who have this ability have a major advantage over others. Please let me know what you think by posting your comments below.
