I always get sidetracked and daydream in class. like i dont pay attention [i still get A's and B's somehow]. sometimes i will space out when people talk to me and they get mad sometimes. My friend always says "pay attention" or "i think u have ADD" .. this is botherin me now that someone pointed it out to me. Is this ADD.. if it matters 13/f

If you are getting A's and B's in school, then it doesn't matter if you are or not because you can function with it just fine.

Omg people tell me that all the time and i still get A's and B's too. I doubt it's ADD, although your friends say that they are just tring to say pay attention. It doesn's mean it so literly though. If it really starts to bother you tell your parents and get tested, I hop this helps you!

I have ADD and those were my symptoms. I tried to pay attention but couldn't. You should talk to your parents or a giudance counselor.

Since you say it only happens sometimes I'm going to say probably not ADD. Especially since your grades are good. ADD kids usually have lousy grades. I think you just occasionally become a teenage space cadet...which is pretty normal. :)

The same exact thing happens to me ALL the time. Don't worry, it's not ADD, it's normal! You just probably have a bigger imagination then everyone else. But if you're still not sure, try trivia game. I know it sounds weird, but they really help you concentrate and think more. But whatever you do, DON'T BE WORRIED!!! There is nothing to worry about at all!!!

Bye,

Cat

It could be. I space out all the time when people talk to me, and that's my biggest problem with ADD. Do you find yourself unable to follow directions? Does someone tell you to do something and you forget seconds later?

It may also just be that you're excited about something else or bored. The only way to find out for sure is to ask a doctor. Good luck, and let me know if you need anything else.

It could be! Ask your doctor to give to some tests and maybe they will give you some pills to help you out.
