How can I improve my grades? HELP?

Question

So I'm a 16 yr old male in grade 11. I'm about halfway through my 2nd last year of highschool and my grades are an absolute nightmare and I have nobody to blame but myself. I'm a smart kid. I know I am. That's not the problem, the problem is I'm lazy af and have no work ethic. I don't really try when I'm not in school because, well, I don't want to. Why would I want to do homework or study when I could just relax in bed? Or surf the internet? Or play xbox? Of course I don't want to study! But because I choose basically anything else before school work, my grades are slipping. I'm currently failing almost every subject and I honestly am so dissapointed in myself. My 2nd last year of high school and I'm potentially going to fail because I'm too lazy to get off my **** and try. I miss way too much school because sometimes I don't feel like getting up at 7:00 AM, so I don't.

I know life is filled with things I don't want to do l, but I have to do. But if I keep up this "do what I want" and "put in no effort attitude" I'm scared I'm going to throw my life away and ruin it. I also hate how dissapointed my parents are. Basically I'm asking. How can I get my sheet together? How can I stop being so lazy and just get my stuff done? How can I put an end to all this procrastination and underachieving? I've been doing it all my life and it's time to turn things around.

All you need to do is keep following your natural urges until you personally experience the inevitable result. Dont worry, you will still be plenty young enough to do anything you want with your life after you bottom out.
I was exactly like you when i was your age. I was truent and i failed most of my classes and my teachers and parents were completely fed up with me. I dropped out of high school and became a degenerate alcoholic. I acquired a criminal record. At the point where i thought my life was ruined forever it was actually just about to begin. I ended up getting a GED and attending community college, joined the military, and eventually graduated with honors from an accredited  university without acquiring a single penny of debt. I was always intelligent and so are you. Just keep doing what you want and have faith in yourself and eventually your natural character will reveal itself once you stop trying to force yourself to be a certain way or conform to others expectations.

By not being Lazy and just doing the work, you have the whole summer to procrastinate stop being lazy and just get it over with. Colleges won't look at you if you have a ending year with a shitty grade . I should know that cause I was doing what you did
