Question Posted Wednesday February 2 2005, 10:56 pm

okay I really dont know what to do..
Heres a little(a lot) about me. Im not gona say alot of details because i know a couple people on here

Okay well im between 13-18 and a guy. I'm in honners classes but doing really bad in them. My parents expect me to be just like my crazy smart sister. My teachers just had a conference with my mom, it went really bad. MY parents are really strict, and they're not the understanding type of parents because they didnt grow up around here. Thats why i can't figure out a way of telling my parents I have ADD everytest I took online (about 25) said that i was ADD positive. Some people think I have it all because of their current job positions and family income. But I really hate my life, n o one knows what it is like to be me. I have 3 or 4 really good friends. But i can practically never hang out with them. I can't have a girlfriend.
I listin to my music all the time, and am forced to study because of my grades. I think of suicide all day, and I am constantly depressed. the other day my room was partially messy(bed not made) and my mom gets really mad( i think she is bipolar) And makes me tear apart my whole room and makes me stay up till 3AM on a sunday cleaning and i had school the next day. My life a always a drag, its basically a set schedual. I can't change anything I have to be what my parents want me to be otherwise I will be looked down upon.

I know I jumped from topic to topic im really sorry. please reply..i need peoples help

As far as the ADD issue goes, I think you should confide in a teacher or counselor at school. They would have the resources to have you properly tested, then it would be the school's responsibility to inform your parents. That way you'd have one less thing to deal with.

You should use your home situation as inspiration to do better in school. The better you do in highschool, the more choices you'll have for college. You could pick a college far away from home, so you could live on campus and finally have independence.

everyone sooner or later has hard times id their life. I've been their myslef when i lost one of my parents, but we have to remember that life will get better. Life was made with challenges, and harships but in the end it will become better. it may take years, but you will never know if you end it. keep strong and one day you will be happy. i know its not easy to just say my life will be better, and it happens. but life is bad if you make it, life is only as hard as you make it. remember that.

I know it's hard, but you really have to talk to someone about this. I'm sure that as strict as your parents are, if you tell them everything and be completely honest they have to understand. If you don't want to talk to them, try talking to an adult that you are close to or perhaps one of your teachers. Also you could phone one of the many helplines available or if you want someone just to chat to in general you can e-mail me on csbubbles@aol.com.

I have a friend who has ADD and at first it was bad, but he got help and he's doing so much better. He even managed to get all Credit grades in his Standard Grades. It's hard to accept at first, but you can work your way through it and become much better.

Also, suicide isn't the answer. Things seem bad right at the moment but you have so much more life ahead of you and you could use your experiences to help so many people, think of the difference you could make.

Remember, you are a unique and special person. Although your parents may not accept you for who you are and what your special talents are right now, they love you and they'll see one day what a great person you are.

Please email me and let me know what happens

you can't say you have a bad life.. yea there might be some bad parts but you dont have it totally bad.. i mean there are people out there who have it way worse than you do... you just need to take one problem at a time on work on fixing it.. you need to talk to your parents and explain that you think you have ADD or that you aren't going to be exactly like your sister.. just take it slow.. dont even consider suicide! it never solves anything! it just seems to make things worse and it gets you all worked up for nothing.. so like i said, take it slow.. one problem at a time.. and talk to your parents.. consider dropping down some classes.. do whatever will make things better!!=)
Hope i helped!!

well I think that as long as you are doing the best you can in whatever you do you are doing just fine. But have to tried to get into regular or advanced classes rather than Honors? I think that if you try to do that you might be able get better grades and everything. Just see if you can go to the school counciler and see about changing your classes. You might even see about having a confrence with him/her on everything that is going on in your life.

Hope I Helped! Good Luck! And Do The Best That You Can On Anything And Everything That You Do! if you do this you will be just fine.
