A while ago my phsycologist said that i had really bad ADHD and its ruining my life. For example, it took me four hours to do a language arts assignment that it took the rest of my class 1 hour. Heres my problem: my cousin also had ADHD and they put him on medication. Later, they found that hewas abusing the medicine and taking way too much so they sent him to a re-habbilitation home. Now my mom wont let the doctors prescribe me any medication because she thinks ill wind up the same way that he did. is there anything i can do?

I suggest you talk to your mother and your doctor about this. And if you have to, get the school involved. Your education and your everyday life is being messed up because of your ADHD so medication can drastically change that. Just becuase your cousin abused the medication doesn't mean you will. Try to make that clear to your mom. If she still doesn't understand then talk to your school counselor about the problem and then talk to your doctor about your situation. Hopefully this will all resolve. ~Sherah
