Question Posted Sunday March 13 2005, 5:14 pm

O.k. I have a.d.d. and all my teachers Know it, but they push me to hard. I told them about my issue just in case they forgot, but they still push me to hard. Should I tell my parents? One of my teachers was going to give me a d-hall for talking, which iz stupid. Wat should i do about all of this? Sighned, Confused

Teachers are always going to push you to the limit to see what you can really do. You can whine all you want, but that's still the truth
Sure, you have a.d.d. this is common in the u.s. and other places recently. Even though you have this disorder, you still have the ability to accel in work and school and shouldn't use it as an excuse when things get piled up. just try to do your best and thats all your teachers really want....and your parents. i promise.

what i think you should do is pay attention as hard as you can becuase i know how hard it is to have a.d.d but you need to pay attention or you wont get to colledge and your grades will drop and scholl matters to every one if you dont pay attention then when you grow up and get older you are gonna regret ever not paying attention oh , maby they have this kind of medicine you can take or somthing hope i helped

ps i dont have a.d.d but i know how you feel

Your teachers are pushing you hard because they want you to get better. Of course, alot of kids in this generation are lazy bums that don't want to do their homework and don't really want to get better at any school subject. I hope you aren't one of these kids, but...Anyway, back on topic. No, don't tell your parents. There's no reason to. Just work your hardest in class and try to improve in all areas of your school work. If you're absolutely, possitively certain that even with you working your hardest you can't keep up with the school work, then you should talk to the teacher, NOT your parents. If talking to the teacher doesn't work, then I would take the last resort and talk to your parents. Also, a d-hall for talking? Are you sure that's the only reason they gave you one?

Dear Confused,
You dont have ADD ( as long as you tell yourself that) continue to tell yourself and push yourself in school. I know ADD kids and i know that it can be hard but only if you tell yourself that. !

PS - teachers dont care about you having ADD its just them !!
* good luck
ask me any ??s you want

*~*XOXOX

you should go tell your parents about the problem with your teachers. maybe everyone can sit down and talk about it and see what can help this situation better.

sunkistsarah answered Sunday March 13 2005, 6:19 pm:
Well I think you should definitly talk to your teachers and your parents, but you need to know that you can't use a.d.d as an excuse. I know that it can be bad but its just another obstacle you have to overcome. Everyone has different things wrong with them and some are worse than others, but its definitly something your teachers need to know and remember about you. I hope this helps!

Lizzy answered Sunday March 13 2005, 5:46 pm:
The reason they probably do this is because 20% of kids under 17 have ADD. they are probly really sick of hearing that from all their students since it is not that big of a problem. I personally think you can still do as well as anyone else, but make sure it is just add and not adhd

orphans answered Sunday March 13 2005, 5:34 pm:
I realize you have ADD, but you could invest a bit of energy on trying to please your teachers. It's okay that you have the disorder, but do you really want to see yourself as a victim? Empower yourself. You don't have to sit around blaming everything on ADD.

Talking in class, for example, not only distrupts your work, but the work of the person to whom you were talking. Unless they threatened to only punish you and not the person having a conversation with you, you should try to prove to your teachers that you deserve to be treated with some respect.

However, if your teachers really are pushing you much too hard or setting unreasonable expectations, have a talk with your guidance counsellor. He or she might be able to get you an Individual Education Plan, which would force your teachers to be a bit more lenient.
