Why cant I focus in school?

A potential future career flipping burgers should help you stay awake in future?

And I’m not not trying to be a smart arse but you aren’t helping yourself here. You need to provide more information. Why can’t you stay awake in class? Have you spoken to someone senior at school about this who may be able to help you? Education isn’t easy. You have to force yourself. I’m in my final year of uni and of course there’s a million other things I’d rather be doing.

Go to bed earlier. The likely reason you can’t stay awake and focus in class is your not getting enough rest. So get some sleep, eat breakfast!!!, and make sure you do your homework. Also, ask your teachers in areas you’re struggling. That’s very important.

because you find it boring and are now realizing that eveything youve been taught in school is usless in teh real world?

Getting the proper amount of sleep each night is very very important, since you are falling asleep in class I’ll take that as a no, but there may be another issue here as well. Do you have trouble concentrating most of the time, or just in class? You might have ADD or Attention Defecit Disorder, which is basically makes it very difficult to stay focused. There are tests for this as well as medication. I myself have fairly severe ADD, I wish I had found out earlier in life because it really would have helped me out in school. Talk to your doctor about this.
