It sounds like you need some. Everyone dies. Before that, they live--that's the part you're not really doing right now.
Sit and think about it. What is so terrible in your life? You have a room in a home.
You have a computer or smart phone or probably both. You're not doing well in school because you're not "motivated." Oh, please.
You just don't like school. Big deal. Talk to your parents; tell them you want to get some help.
I will suggest that you stop thinking about yourself and your "problems" all the time. You probably don't have it all that bad, if you think about it.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
