adhd Did you say your brother has ADHD? It's just...we just found out my sister has it and it's really hard to deal with, she gets alot of attention from my parents and it causes a lot of problems because she has it quite severly. Do you have any advice to how I could deal with it?

Yeah, thats how my parent are with my bro, and my grandparents, they give all the attention to him.
Ask then for like a bit of family time or something, like a half hour at night to discuss your day, and talk about stuff. Or to have Sundays after church(if you go to church) to talk about whats on your mind. It's a hard thing to deal with, I mean, I guess it's harder for the person with ADHD, but it's still difficult for us to, since it's effecting our lives too. Usually me and my sister, if it's just us with our mom, we'll talk about stuff thats on our minds. Really, the best way to handle stuff is by talking. Find a friend or parent, or even another sibling that you can talk to about it. My brother has it so severly that even if he's taking the medicine, he can still act like an immature thing. Tell your parents that you feel your sister is getting all the attention. And this is what you could say if your older than her, and like around 14-16
Mom, I'm starting to get more and more into guys, and if you give all your attention to me, there's no saying what could happen with me. If you love us both, you'll split the attention. I know that she needs more attention than before, but I'm your daughter too, and it might not seem like I ever want you around, but sometimes I guess I like you. If you have any other questions, drop one in the inbox and I'll try to help you best I can. ]
