the person above me was wrong.

not everyone has add.

ADD is something that some people are born with. it basically means you have a hard time focusing

ADHD means you have a hard time focusing because you're very hyper.

You are professionally diagnosed with ADD by getting a neuroesych test. they are very expensive. like 2 grand. with good health insurance that can go down.

girls and boys are one in the same with add. it makes no difference.

some cases are mild enough so that you can control it. if not, you can go on some medication that would really help. like adderall, stretera, or methelyn.

Just because you're not physically active doesn't mean you have add.

but if you're so annoying that no one wants to date you then that might change it XD

well i have add and i'm a girl. I've had it since i was born. everyone as it, just in some people you notice it more, and in others you don't. you should ask a school counselor or someone who would know about add.
hope this helped.
