I'm in top class for everything and nearly always get A* but i don't feel motivated at all and cant wait until i can leave, i always end up doing everthing last minute. everyone expects clever people to like working so just leave them to get on with it. Anyone got any tips to get me going again coz my motivation is non exsistant and i need to get my ass into gear.

I know that sounds drastic, but ask yourself why you work hard and get those fantastic grades? Is it because YOU want them, either for their own sake or to pursue a particular career that YOU want to do? Or is it because your parents/teachers will be proud of you if you do?
So, let's assume you don't want to be a doctor/lawyer or anything else that warrants the best university education you can get. Could you get by with a B? That's still a good grade, and even C wouldn't be the end of the world, would it?
Then think about what you really want out of life. Not breaking your back to please everyone will give you a little time out to contemplate this. Go out with your mates, try a few different activities - anything that will put a little perspective on life.
True success is inner happiness.

Hi - what a shame you don't enjoy achieving as it sounds like you're doing so well.
It might help if you can just remind yourself that it will only last for a few more years and once you have your qualifications you will have so much more choice in life - also once you have your qualifications, no-one can take them away...
As above - check out your health and have a really good think about what you want . Maybe you could try a college course in the evenings and do something you really enjoy - its totally different at college and you don't have to do the 'bog standard' subjects like in schools.
It doesn't have to be 'all work and no play.
Good luck.'
