Do you ever walk into a room and need to remember why? Maybe remember to bring something to school or do something like homework? According to Cross River Therapy, around 39% of Americans forget a piece of information or lose something at least once a week.

Most of the people we interviewed considered themselves forgetful while very few said they do not forget things. In several interviews with students, they said they forgot things because they were too focused on something else or had too many things at once. StoneWater claims that doing too many tasks at once can cause students to forget things which many claimed.

The article from StoneWater also says that most teens get overstimulated by hormones and can have difficulty controlling emotions. Another article from Health Line says that depression can be linked to memory problems. This means that because of hormones and depression, people can forget things because they can focus too much on their problems.

he most common reason for forgetfulness amongst students: is the lack of sleep. Most kids do not get the sleep they need which can cause problems when remembering certain tasks, headaches, and difficulty with physical activities.
