Sorry if this is in the wrong spot

Hi there, I am sixteen years old, and i seem to have a minor problem.

Ever since I began to write, i wrote some letters differently then the other kids. People start from the top when they write their S, I start from bottom, same with 2's. These two symbols are not the only cases in which i write it differently. I also couldnt correctly write lower-case a's until late first grade. They looked like D's.

Theres also a few other things that bother me about the way my mind functions. For instance, when I get asked long questions, I cant seem to follow, even though i try, I get easily confused when they use lots of words in the questions and i end up asking them to repeat the question. I also notice that when i study, I gain absolutely nothing from it. That and learning and trying to understand things on my own has been an impossibility for me. And when I cant figure it out on my own, I end up giving up on my homework.

My teachers say im a bright kid, but "I dont put enough into my work." when that is completely false. Maybe I dont put in a hundred percent because I give up on it to go to sleep or eat. That and I dont get the material.

I am good at math, and I can remember things well when i KNOW them. But if it was something like Physics where I dont completely get the material, then I cannot learn it on my own. I tried to go to my teacher early in the morning, however, It did not totally help much. I still kinda got lost during the test because I feel the questions are asked differently on paper than voiced by the teacher.

Is there something wrong here?

Thanks
