partial mid term.? I am in my mid-teens, and its becoming to be a real problem. i have always hade memory problems. i remmber when i was 11 and starting secondary school, it took me 2 years to remember everyone's name in my class, and an extra 1 1/2 years to learn the rest of my year group.

i can recall moments from the past quite well, but if they happen a while ago, minute ago, or 5/10 minutes ago, i would have to think for a few minutes to remember.
its also a problem, because it means i cant make fast decisions, because i cant think of what to say - they might be linked in.

does anyone now whats the problem with me, and how i can over come it. a website with info would e great.

ND i am not a dumb shit by the way, things i learn usally get stored in long term memory, especially things im interested in, like science, geography, history, and Religion.

i told my mother, and she says that near enough the same thing happens to her, but i nkow she coped better. i think it might be inherited. it may have only been recessive in me, but dormant in my brothers - but would make sence as they are partially simular, and im different ( i take on alot form my older bother though).
