HI,
Thanks for writing in.

Are you "multi-tasking" in your memory? In other words, thinking about lots of things all at once? Sometimes when you do that, you won't remember some things. Stress has a lot to do with it too, OR not actually paying attention to what we are doing, or really listening to someone when they are talking, because our minds are on other things. You are young, so you probably have a lot on your mind that is more important to you than where you put something. Try not to stress about it, and if it continues, check with your doctor.

Hope this helps
