All About ADHD

Usually, someone with ADHD will have several of the following symptoms:

* Constantly fidgeting, can't sit still for long
* Trouble taking turns
* Doesn't finish things
* Easily distracted
* Gets bored easily
* Daydreams often
* Interrupts people
* Gets easily frustrated with school work
* Acts and speaks quickly without thinking
* Often sidetracked by what's going on around her
* Loses and forgets things
* Disorganized
* Low self-esteem
* Trouble with friendships
* Poor grades

MORE ABOUT ADHD

While ADHD is more prevalent in boys--for every girl diagnosed, at least three boys are also diagnosed--experts agree that girls with ADHD are harder to identify. It is believed that this is because boys with ADHD are more likely than girls to have behavior problems. Girls often have less noticeable symptoms, such as inattentiveness and depression.

Check out the following Web sites for great info on teens with ADHD:

* National Resource Center on ADHD at help4adhd.org
* Children and Adults with ADHD at chadd.org
* ADDvance, a site for girls and women who have ADD and ADHD, at addvance.com
* National Institute of Mental Heath at nimh.nih.gov

Hey girlie,

I so wish I could offer some great advice. Unfortunately since I’m not an expert on the matter, I don’t want to point you in the wrong direction. Try having a chat with the good old ‘rents. I’m sure they’ll be more than happy to help you get things squared away.     ♥, Your Blog Patrol Babes

PLEASE ANSWER ASAP.
I think I have ADHD. I have trouble sitting still, interrupt people, am literally ALWAYS daydreaming, and forget most things quickly. I also am very easily distracted. But, I have really good grades. I've told my parents I think I have it, but they won't get me tested and say I'm being 'silly'. What should I do??
Thanks. Smile




Hey Girl, 

Why not bring it up with your doctor at your next appointment? She can give you a better analysis . You could also try talking to your school nurse.




Good luck,

I think i have add. i have almost all the syptoms(can't concentrate, easily distarcted, losing things, etc.) I also have a learning disability which is really stressfull. I want to get tested to see if i have it because I think i might. What should I do? I dont want to talk to my parents.




Hey girlie,

If you think you have a learning disability like ADD, which gets in the way of schoolwork, comprehension, attention span, etc., you need to talk to your parents. There's no way around it. You're feeling frustrated right now because of those symptoms you listed, but if you talk to them and explain how you're feeling/what you've been experiencing, they can chat with a doctor and make life WAY easier for you! There's no reason to live with it if you think there's something wrong - so be honest with them, get checked out, and that way you'll know for sure <3

Mod! I think I have A.D.D. I told my parents about this a month and a half ago and my dad wanted me to get tested, but my mom thought there was nothing wrong with me so we did not get me tested. Now, I'm definitely sure that I have A.D.D. and I would like to get tested. How can I tell my parents? Also, if I do have A.D.D., what will happen in school afterwards? Thanks! Smile

 

Hey girly, if you think you have A.D.D. you should definitely see a doctor. Explain to your parents why you feel this way and hopefully they will take you to see if you do in fact have it. Your doctor will prescribe you medicine if you do, to keep it under control.

Ok so I honestly thought I have A.D.D so I told my mom about it. She's a doctor and at first she thought that I had it but when I asked to get tested, she said no and got mad because she doesn't want me taking meds. She also thinks I don't have it because I have good grades. But I always have a hard time concentrating, and when I'm in the middle of studying I my mind tends to wander and I start daydreaming. Even when the teacher, or my friends are talking sometimes I find myself not paying attention. I'm usually pretty quiet though. And lately I find myself just saying things I didn't mean to say out loud. Sometimes if we are doing work in class, I just can't think of anything, or I'm daydreaming. Sometimes if we are doing math for a long time, I start getting like loopy and saying random stuff and laughing for no reason... What should I do? (sorry this was really long Tong)

 

The best thing to do would be to talk to your parents and doctor about this and see what you should do from there. good luck!
