Answer 1

Having goals especially at your age is great.  It's equally if not more important to actually work at those goals rather than give up when you get stuck or bored.   Be careful not to set your goals too high, or you will get frustrated when you're not able to attain those goals.  A little bit at a time, and then build on your successes.

Reading your question, you seem like an ultra type A personality.  Perhaps you've gotten that from your parents or maybe since you're so goal oriented, you've become that on your own.   Sometimes, we all need to slow down a little and enjoy the simple things in life.

At your age (14), I would give you more responsibilities around the house.  Cleaning/straightening your own bedroom. sorting through your dirty clothes, helping with dishes, etc.  

But you sound like a really cool kid, one that I would be proud of to have as my daughter.

Just a thought- do you think that you may have ADHD?

Hand your mom a hairbrush and say "Mom, I need discipline."

You have to set goals for yourself.  Set daily, weekly, monthly and yearly ones so that you can prove improvements in yourself.
