Well honestly, I don't need any help with motivation or any sort of emotional problems.
Soooo I am currently in High School, but the problem is I really really hate school. It seems like the more I go to school, the more worse my brain becomes, as in I'm in a freeze state because it's so boring.

Yea, and you are probably also much smarter than your teachers too. I am a senior in college studying abroad in Hong Kong. I study physics at UIUC, 2nd best program in the US, I am learning how to make an escape route so that I wont have to work for anyone else. Here's my advice (please excuse my rambling writing style):
Since you have all this awesome time to find yourself, spend your time visualizing what you want to do with your life.
Figure this out, think about when you are on your death bed a hundred years from now, and you are just sitting there waiting to die, and you are reflecting back on life. What things will you be remembering that you would feel proud that you've accomplished?
You'd be like "yea I invented fusion, I won the noble prize, I stopped global warming, I gave 10 billion dollars to my children, I started a foundation that..."
If you are afraid of success, if you feel uneasy about thinking about those things, then just remember that fear is always just the fear of the unknown, so just visualize yourself and get used to feeling that you are going to be very successful. If you feel uneasy thinking about being that successful, then do some research on the internet about getting over your fear of success.
Learn to lead yourself. Whatever you do, don't be this absolute brilliant person, and then loose all motivation because everything just seems so pointless, because once you get out of high school noone (or everyone, depending on how you look at things) is going to be telling you what to do, so you'll have to learn how to guide yourself and give yourself your own goals.
Spend this semester, like 4 months or so, defining and planning what you want to do. All that time that you spend on playing video games or thinking about how utterly useless school is, spend it on planing/visualizing how you are going to accomplish those amazing feats.
And yea, it is a hard thing to do, but you might as well figure out what you want to do with your life now, before you are dead. Just think of all the adults who have their "mid life crisis" because they've never actually sat down and thought about what they really wanted to do or how to do it, and that they find all of the sudden that they are halfway dead and are not in the process to amounting to much.
Read books about being a leader, get over your fear of leading, and realize that you are going to be one of those awesome people that you've read about.
