WHATS WRONG WITH ME
Do i have A.D.D.? and can you help me solve my other problems?
my parents thought that i have A.D.D. because at times.. usually often, its hard for me to concentrate. like for homework, i have to be doing it for a while and then im in like "homework mode" but it usually takes an hour or two till im in that phase. i procastinate so much. this is why i do most of my homework in my bedroom so i cant get distracted by tv or the comp. i mean.. and i always procastinate my projects till the very last day.. like right now i have something due tomorrow and i've only done the prewrite packet.. now i have to write this whole thingie (rough draft) and the final copy and more is due next week but i havent even started that yet since im a lil behind. but i dont get it.. i never thought I had ADD till my parents mentioned it..cause in class sometimes a teacher would say something and.. i mean i'd hear what they'd said but its kinda like the words escape from my head and then like a minute later i ask a question about something they already said. i hate that and i try to pay attention but i guess i have alot of things on my mind too.. i mean songs always get stuck in my head, or i may just be thinking about things that happened that day or something. that happens during tests too, sometimes. i mean i also procastinate for tests.. its real annoying because im usually an A/B student but thats been dropping to like a B/C student since like the 2nd marking period. im so pissed because i want to do good in school. but not only that things we learn are getting harder.. but.. i dunno. i mean once on a test like right before i had a big fight with my sorta x-friend and i was really upset and mad about that.. and i ended up getting like a 46 on a MATH test! thats like my easiest subject! and i told my teacher i could do better and corrected it and got all the corrections right. the next test we had we got a 100 though, thank god. and recently we had a quiz and i got a 72 (math) and in social studies i've gotten 2 very very low grades (20 and a 25.. i have to get them signed by my parents today! ohgod!!!!!!!!!!!! im gonna be toast!!!). im thinking of just throwing out the tests and saying that i lost them. but that probably wont work. i mean also cause im like extremely disorganized. i've never followed a schedule like 100% all the way though i do make schedules sometimes. i read while i eat.. my dad says its bad to do that but i honestly dont have any time to read, since i like doing it. no i dont have dyslexia or any reading problems either. and im not someone whos like "hey.. what was the mark homewo- OMG ITS A LIMO! DID YOU SEE THAT LIMO THERE!" i mean sometimes i guess if im excited and its like a new place ive never seen before. but not that much i think. i dont have hearing problems and my math teacher thought that was my problem but its not.. i've passed all the tests before and i have no problem hearing, just retaining knowledge presently. i can remember stuff from a long time ago but i may forget like idk.. a friend's name or something. and when i talk to people, sometimes it doesnt completely register with my brain and i have to ask them to repeat what they said like 2-3 times. sometimes people dont wanna repeat and i have to just act like i'd heard but its also kinda annoying when they're like "nevermind" because i honestly.. like.. i dunno! i heard it.. but i kinda didnt hear it in a way. WHATS WRONG WITH ME??????????

You may have ADD or some other disorder, or you may just have a short attention span. Only a doctor can tell you for sure, and only a doctor can help you figure out to fix whatever the problem may be.

I don't think anyone on this site can definitely tell you whether you have ADD or not. If you're really concerned about it, and your parents think it's possible that you have it... Why not visit a doctor? Tell him/her your symptoms and ask for an evaluation. If you do have ADD a doctor can prescribe medication that may help you. You don't have to start with any kind of specialist, your family physician should be able to answer many of your questions... And if he can't he can send you to someone that is qualified to.
