Whatever is happening to you could be psychological also. But after an irresponsible act, you can not afford guesses and ‘may bes’. Talk to your mother or your counselor at school. Don’t waste any more time. Avoid taking casual advices. There could be some negativity at home because of it which is very natural. But remember, your parents are your best well wishers always.

You will have to realise that your study pattern has to change a bit as your biological system is undergoing a readjustment process. If you are motivated enough then suggest to your self, as you would to any best friend of yours, studies are your long term good career bet. After completing whatever you are pursuing, you may have a better job or at least better choice of career.
