There are several things you can get for browsers that block websites of your choice at certain hours when you want to get things done, if you find you're having trouble with any.
For Steam, you can create a long, random password and write it down. Then, whenever you want to log in, you have to intentionally spend a minute or whatever typing it in. Be sure to have a way to recover it, just in case.
Don't rely too much on things like these, though. High school is when you learn self control and organization. To spend time is to pass it in a specified manner. To waste time is to expend it thoughtlessly or carelessly. We all have time to spend or waste, and it is our decision what to do with it. But once passed, it is gone forever.
Drop baseball if you don't like it.

I'm kind of in the same situation as you with water polo and tf2. At the beginning of the year, I thought I could balance both, along with homework. After about a month and a half, having relatively bad grades and some relationship drama, and getting cut from my team twice I realized that no matter how much I wanted to play this season, it just wasn't worth the stress it caused. As much as it sucks, you have to drop something, doesn't matter which one, something needs to be dropped.
After I stopped looking for teams, I started enjoying polo again and wasn't such an irritable asshole to everyone I knew.

(didnt read whole thread)
Many good points here
My suggestion:
Start simple: play 30 minutes less video games each day or every other day, put that towards doing ur hw. Like, instead of staying up until whenever u do, cut back 30 mins back. Eventually, you'll have a normal sleep schedule I'd hope.
If this doesn't work, try doing hw in between games. Also try to find a passion outside of video games. I originally was in your position but i have found body building to be a very cool thing and do that as well. It's a nice thing to have (a passion) but in order to find one, getting out of your schedule is the best way.
Hope this helps.

Thomas12380% of my homework is on it including math and the only thing that isn't is chemistry and some Spanish 3
I'm a junior in high school and if you need help in these things just add me or pm me: I am a wizard at these subjects except chem (I can do some really basic organic chem, but I'm pretty sure that won't help you).
As for your entire state and some advice I can give you: enjoy high school and be the successful person you want to be and strive to do your best. Also, if you don't want to be that "good suck up kid," just be a good person and don't do anything stupid.
What really got me in shape with school was joining my school's academic decathlon and exercise. I've always been that kid that could scrape by with B's and stuff and my parents would nag me for it, but being the irresponsible dumb kid I was, I just shrugged it off without thinking. By high school, I was pretty sure my parents had lost all their hope in me, and my teachers: I was pretty sure they thought I was going nowhere as well. Now, I wasn't oblivious of my fairly negative reputation and when I walked the halls of my school, I would hear people call me dumb and say I wouldn't pass high school: I was basically called a failure. At this time of my life, I was a pretty stubborn kid, as seen in my resistance to express effort in school, but hearing me called a failure who wouldn't get anywhere? That got me heated up and really motivated me.
I started doing homework, taking notes, studying, and other things to increase my GPA from a 2.6 all the way to a 3.8, achieving high honor role. At the time, I felt pretty damn good about myself. Somewhere in between I tried out for my school's academic decathlon, because my cousin recommended I join. Honestly, it's been a blast because I get to meet new people from almost every state in the nation at the national competition and I get to win medals for doing well on tests.
Exercise is exercise: stay fit, relieve stress. Working out with a friend talking about whatever you and your friends talk about. It's a good time.
Oh yeah, and dress your self with confidence and dignity. I find that dressing like this just makes me feel more upbeat (for lack of a better term).

I was literally in the exact same situation as you. I was a straight A, good kid perfect student, and as my junior year progressed I stopped caring more and more. Suddenly I went from over a 100 weighted average, to failing 6 of my 8 classes senior year. In my case, the doctor did prescribe Prozac, which made my life 100 times worse, and I did not react well to it at all. There is no one solution; everyone responds to different strategies. I made it through high school because I had three friends in particular who would not let me fail, and I passed senior year with 61 in most of my classes. The point is to recognize it's a problem now, not a year later. Talk to your family, friends, teachers, anyone you trust. And if you ever need someone to talk to, add me/send a TFTV pm.

If you're in a TF2 team, tell them to not let you pug/scrim with them until you get your work done.

I suffer from moderate anxiety and have the same problem you have. Last year I almost failed a few courses because I refused to work on a big history paper. I found that I had so much stress about how well I was doing on my work, or what others thought of me, that I couldn't focus on anything serious like homework. The best advice I can give you is to talk to someone, even if it's just your parents talk to them about the difficulties you are having, getting it out in the open will make it seem a lot easier to overcome. If you don't schedule your homework time already do that, set shorter, more frequent deadlines for yourself that are easier to overcome than just "I need to get all of my homework done tonight". Also doing homework at school is a lot easier for me than doing it at home, so if your school gives you free periods, consider getting some homework done during those times.
