Eleanor, it sounds like you definitely need to talk to a parent or another adult who can help you. Another suggestion in the mean time is to use a planner to write down assignments and other responsibilities. Yes, you’ll have to get in a habit of checking it, but once you get in that habit, it will be a huge help! And finally (if you don’t already), use reminders and alarms on your phone. I have ADD myself but didn’t know it until I was an adult, and I had to use these strategies to cope. (Well, I didn’t use reminders on my phone because we didn’t have cell phones when I was a teen!) But I did use a planner, and it helps tremendously! I also learned to use post-it notes. For example, if I need to remember to take my water bottle when I leave to go to the gym, I stick a post it note on the door so I’ll see on my way out. I hope these tips help! Hang in there!
