i think i might have ADHD
okay so i have been researching ADHD and i think that i might have it! Like i can not pay attention i try really hard but it just seems like the teachers in school are speaking an entire different language! And even my friends notice that i am just so hyper and can never stay still! Like you could come and wake me up at 3 O'clock in the morning and i will be totally fine! and actually i am kind of growing away from my friends and i just sit in my room by myself sometimes texting. My mom is always working to try to pay the mortgage on time and get in all her payments that she owes. So i the last thing that i want is to spend more money. But i am in all normal classes in school but i have a F in science and a D- in Social Studdies and in English i have a D. so i dont really know what is happening and i am falling behind in spanish i used to have a A but it is droping and now a C! so i really dont know what is happening it is just like i am loosing intrest in everything and i dont really know what to do about it! so if you say tell and adult tell me how! thank you!

It is possible that you do have a form of ADHD Usually ADHD manifests itself earlier in life but it is possible to have it manifest itself during puberty. The only way to know for sure is to be tested.
This testing starts with a visit to your family doctor for a complete physical. Tell your doctor what you have told us. Your doctor will most likely want to run different test including blood tests to rule out any physical problems before sending you to someone who can properly diagnose you and treat you for ADHD.
The reason for the visit to your doctor is as I said to rule out any physical problems. It is possible that the hormonal changes you are going through has touched of a fire storm some place that is causing something that may mimic ADHD. This needs to be ruled out first. Then you can be tested.
First thing you need to do is to tell your mom. Her first thoughts I'm sure are to your well being. If she is aware of this sudden change in your school work she is going to want to know if there is a medical reason. Would it not be better for her to know this than for her to sit around thinking you have started doing drugs. For that is what it may look like to her or any other parent whose child suddenly goes from A's to failing.
Once you have told your mom, then make an appointment with the family doctor. As I said tell the doctor what you have told us. After the doctor has examined you follow the doctors instructions.
