Brain injury: I am so sorry to hear about your medical condition. Brain injury is a complicated condition. The progress to recovery depends on many factors, which are too many to list in this short answer field on this forum. You should have your parents take you to your doctor to discuss your concerns. I also suggest joining a support group for people who've had a brain injury. Good luck.

Recovery depends: On what exactly happened? Recovery after a brain injury takes time and will not happen overnight. In the meantime, good rehabilitative services can help. Do not give up, once you do, you will take two steps backwards. Keep trying.
