Q: i only have vague and fuzzy memories of events that took place more than a week and keep on forgetting things. what can this possibly be?

: At age 16 years, "fuzzy memory" should not be occurring without history of recent head trauma or use of alcohol/drugs/medications. The brain should be in accelerated Learning Mode at this age. So One should inform their Parents/Guardians and arrange to see the PCP or Neurologist soonest.
