You have to connect to the work, the time of just caring about making your parents happy or doing what you have been taught is "right" is over, you're not a little kid anymore that can be made safe/happy that way?
I really liked the book: Daydreaming: Unlock the Creative Power of Your Mind, by psychoanalyst F. Diane Barth

Thanks Perna,
Usually when I'm daydreaming (or just plain thinking), it's about my writing or my art. I know what you mean about it needing to connect to the subject matter. Math and Chemistry are my worst subjects because I find them so dreadfully boring, but I love English, and I adore Psychology. Yet my grades in any of these classes are all the same. To answer Fresia's post, I am a HUGE procrastinator, and I feel it's best for me to work on as much as I can of something or else I'll find my attention pulled elsewhere. I've tried doing homework for half an hour, and then taking a break, but I'll almost always never end up going back to it. I like to get it all done at once, and finish larger projects working on some each day.
Thank you for your replies and advice!
