Dear TeenHealthFX,
I can't study, I find it boring but I have to study. How can I make studying interesting?

Dear Make Studying Interesting,
In order to lessen the boredom you experience when studying, it may be helpful to develop good study habits. See what FX's teen advisory board has to say in 12 Ways To Improve Study Habits. This was written by teens so the advice comes from other teens that also have found ways to study better and have more fun doing it.
Some other ways:
- Develop a study schedule, which allows you to divide your studying into blocks of time.
- Alternate studying with short break times.
- Consider a study partner so you can test each other or discuss information. Even reciting answers aloud will help to keep you awake and focused.
- Create fact cards, use margin notes, compose questions, or summarize important information by developing charts, graphs, and other learning tools.
- Set goals by breaking down assignments into smaller units and use study breaks to balance other activities. This non-studying time can become your reward for sticking to it.
