Is this a BIG problem?

10.08.2006 04:16		 Is it a BIG problem that my attention span is about 5 minutes long?
and what does that mean about me?
As I have trouble paying attention in all my classes
(thank god I am a natural at Japanese and English)
And my teachers are starting to yell at me heaps because of it and I really don't like it :'(
What can I do about all of this?
I mean I don't want to be moved down maths classes again.....
And I dont want to be yelled at for something that I cant help

You probably hate school (like EVERYBODY!), so you get bored
It happens quite often to me, but i pretend to be ok and my teachers cannot understand whether i'm "there" or not

Thanks Lester!!
If you are -1, then a five minute attention span is acceptable. Carry on.

A five minute attention span for a 12, almost 13 year old should be a concern for his teachers and his parents to discuss and mention to his general practitioner. Strategies can be given to help him stay on task or medication could be an option. His academic and social success will suffer if this isn't addressed.

Source? Research indicates that an average attention span correlates with the age of the child. If he is 12, almost 13, his attention span should be about 12 or 13 minutes at least.

Yeah, try telling that to my 78 year old grandmother who can barely stay interested when I tell her a short five minute story.
...or maybe I'm just a shitty storyteller.
