Am I the only one? Is this normal???
How do I start studying and doing homework? Especially homework because it's hurting my grades and the relationship between me and the teachers.

You are not alone. This was exactly me. I got to 9th grade and my life fell apart. In high school, you have more independence but higher expectations, too. Honestly - you need to just experiment what works for you: what motivates you? What time of the day do you get the most work done and are the most focused? What subjects do you need to spend more time on? What type of learner are you - visual, kinesthetic, auditory, etc.? You basically need to just try different ways of learning material - are you a note taker? Do you like to make flashcards? Do you like to make web diagrams to connect concepts? Do you like to listen to audiobooks (if you need to read a book for an English class)? Are you a person who likes to highlight or annotate? Sticky notes? Colored pens? It's all a matter of figuring out what works best.
