Nice information….Memory loss can be partial or total and it is normal when it comes with aging. Sudden memory loss is usually a result of brain trauma and it may be permanent or temporary. The most worrying symptoms are not those related to things that people forget to do. Some patients may have problems in mixing up words for objects or can have trouble understanding or taking part in a conversation. Prevention in what concerns memory loss is whatsoever limited. Sudden memory loss cannot be prevented but patients who experience the symptoms of memory loss due to aging may keep their brain cells healthy and active with different exercises and dietary supplements.

Thank you for the information, I am thinking of seeking a meidcal advice,according to my husband he thinks the boy is just lazy,  easy way not to study.the surprising thing is he is very good with his game, and cocentrating on it !!!! how does he do it ifhe doesn´t remember
it after wards, I  have no knowledge about game. As you said it he is creative he likes very much Hockey and he plays,and he has no problem with friends he has a lot of activity, it just only with the school he has difficulty to concentrate.

I don't know if this will help or not.  I think when you get to the brain it can get very complicated.  I too have always said the same thing and when I was in college a professor asked me if I was having a hard time concentrating.  Also asked me if I am easily distracted.  I laughed and said yes.  When I was in my younger years my parents always got little notes about me not listening (I was never a behavioral problem-model student).  My mom always told them and me I was just very creative and had lots of ideas in my head.  I agree but it didn't stop.  Not that it is a bad thing but it caused me problems when I really needed to concentrate.  As an adult, I went to my dr. and they said I probably had ADD-not ADHD.  I started medication and I am so much better.  Who knew.  Goodluck!  It can be very frusterating.
