Concentration Problems

Hey, Im only 14, im in high school and have a problem. I have a really hard time concentrating. Like one minute I will be listening to my math teacher the next I will be thinking of what to do when I get home. I also blank out a lot, like a freind will be telling me about his day then suddenlly there waving their hand in front of my head trying to get my attention. I am very proud to say I have never touched any kind of drug or alcohal (alcohol) beverage in all my years. I used to  be a straight A student, now I have trouble pulling Bs out, I stronglly beleive my concentrating problem effects my grades. I also am no longer as exited to do things anymore as I was once before. I thought this was just a part of growing up, but now its at the point to were getting a free 50 bucks doesnt even make me all that exited. I have no where near as much energy as I used to and sometimes I tend to forget simple things. Oh, and sometimes when I buy energy drinks from a store, the problems above get better, I can concentrate better and everything, but it onlly last for an hour or two. So guys any ideas?
