  • I was diagnosed with ADD, but now the stuff doesn't really apply to me?

    I was diagnosed with ADD when I was like 4 years old, and I've been on medication ever since, and Im fine really.

    But I've noticed that for the past few years, if I ever forgot to take my pill once in a while, I notice that Im really lethargic. I used to like, flip out if I ever missed my pill. But when I miss it now, I feel high or something. I really hate that feeling, like my head is full of cotton or something.

    Anyway, I was looking over my diagnosis papers from way long ago, and like half the stuff doesn't apply at all anymore.

    I still lack organization skills. I mean, I SUCK at prioritizing. Correction, on paper, I can prioritize, but when it comes time to do my homework or something, I subconsiously say "screw it" and go off and so other things like programming. My parents say that its part of ADD, but I really don't think so. I KNOW that I do it, and I KNOW that I can help it. I don't ignore it to be a stick in the *** or anything, nor do I do it to get my parents and teachers mad. I hate it when I dissappoint my teachers and parents.

    My parents keep saying, "do you need an IEP". I say no, but I don't tell them why. If I told them why (which is because I know I can help it but I choose not to because making beats and learning about 4 dimensional space and programming password crackers is more fun and interesting), they'd go through the roof.

    My bottom questions are:

    1. Is ADD really doing this to me? I know I've overcome alot of ADD stuff, and I have a sneaking suspicion that its really my problem, not something to blame on ADD.

    2. I know I don't need an IEP, but I need help of some kind, yet I don't need someone following me around at school every day all the time. What can I do?

    Thanks

  • How can I be more organized with my life?

    I try writing things down, like school assignment reminders, and that works...if I remember to look at the list...and if I remember to write it down in the first place.

    Its like literally IMPOSSIBLE for me to write stuff down to do. I have no idea why.

    I DO have a way to remember to do some things, like meet someone. What I do is set my watch alarm to like 5 minutes before I need to leave and then I immediately remember to do that.

    Im a senior in high school, and its hard for me to keep my life in check. Writing assignments to do down doesn't really work. I work best if Im cued with something physical.

    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • I screwed up big time. How do I regain my girlfriend's parent's trust?

    I screwed up. Big time.

    We've been going out for a month and a half now, and tonight her parents had me over for dinner. So I went and had dinner, and afterward, just her and I went on a walk. We went to the woods and started making out. We eventually lay down and made out some more.

    An hour later, I looked up and saw her parents watching us from the mouth of the woods. We both had our shirts off, and I'm sure that it looked like we were going to have sex.

    I had to leave then.

    I know that I don't want to have sex now. I love her, and I want to be a great guy. I know I screwed up, and that I did something I shouldn't have done (taken shirts off, she still had her bra on, don't worry). I realize that there's a time and place for everything, and it was neither. Her mom probably knows that we didn't mean any harm, but her dad didn't say anything to me. I know he doesn't trust me any more. She has a great family and I want them to know that I don't want sex. I just want to be happy, and she makes me happy. I want them to know that I respect her and I want to keep their trust. I want them to know that I won't screw up again.

    Now, how do I do that?

  • What should I do in this dicey situation?

    Just now, I had a porn video up. I had to go to the bathroom, so I minimized the window and left. However, when I came back, my older sister was walking away from my computer. When I looked, the video wasn't up anymore. I have a bad feeling that my sister maximized it, saw what it was, and then exed out of it. What if she tells my mom what I was on? Already, my mom has a crazy theory that I am a juvinile terrorist because I accidentally said something slightly sexual (i called my sister hot) and that I made a little fire ball thingy that you can hold in your hand (my mom thinks it was a bomb). My mom went into a HUGE rage when she found out that I called my sister hot. She sweared at me, decked me in the head, and made me feel like I should die. What if my sister told my mom I was watching porn? Judging from the "my sister is hot" senario, it seems like my mom would dissown me. What should I do?

  • PLEASE PLEASE HELP! HOW DO I GET RID OF THIS?

    When I got WavePad Sound Editor a few months ago, I got the free 14 day Masters trial version. Then, a few weeks ago, when I was narrating my powerpoint, I decided to edit it. I saw that the 14 day trial was over, so I reinstalled WavePad. It worked, and I edited the narrations. Only today, the 14 day Masters trial version thing popped up when I opened WavePad. So I tried to reinstall it. The same thing happened. I tried to download the free version. Same thing happened. I tried to delete the WavePad thing totally off my computer. Same thing happened. What am I missing here? Please help me get WavePad Sound Editor working again!

    P.S

    I also still have .wav narration files on my computer that I did not delete. I want to still be able to get to them.

  • Who's right in the field of religion?

    Okay. With the holidays coming on, I start thinking about religion more and more. But, as there are hundreds of religions, Hinduism, Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Shinto, and countless others, I sometimes wonder who is right about what God there is, if there is more than one God, what kind of heaven there is, if there is eternal life, etc... Which religion tells the truth to life most accurately?

  • How to talk to younger kids?

    Okay. I am going to teach skiing in, like, three weeks. I already asked a form of this question a while ago, but I did not get the number of answers I wanted. So, here goes:

    I will be teaching a small group of 3-6 year olds how to ski on a small slope with a handle tow. I think I have the teaching part down pat, but how do I talk to them in a way that I can communicate with them? My goal is to teach them in a way that they will understand. My mom said to kneel down to talk to them, so that there is eye contact. But, what sort of language should I use to get through to them? I want my kids coming back the next weekend for more fun, not dreading my lessons!

    P.S.

    I am also afraid I might be fired. How could I prevent this?

    HELP PLEASE!

  • Ski teaching dilemma? I would love to have a lot of responses, please!?

    I have a problem. As I am now 14 years old, I am able to work at a ski mountain called Mad River Glen, in Vermont. I would first teach 3-5 year olds how to ski down one of those very small slopes. I would have to instruct them and help them learn how to get down without falling (much). That part is no problem for me. The problem is, what do I do when a little kid sits down and starts crying or screaming something like, "I'm tired", or "I'm hungry" or "I want my mommy/daddy" or "I want to go home". How to I handle this situation when their parents are at work or skiing somewhere else? What do I do to respark their interest? Please help!

  • Post-masturbation problem?

    Okay, so I masturbate. Fact. When I do, everything is fine and looking normal. However, if I masturbate at night, when I wake up in the morning an orange, tacky ring is present around my glans, which is oddly paler than what it usually is. Everything turns to normal after a few hours. I try to wipe all of the stuff away, but what happens? Does anyone know?

  • How do I turn on the Internet without my parents knowing?

    Okay, so, I am not exactly addicted to the internet. However, I really want to know how to connect to the internet if your parents turned it off or if they take it with them when they go shopping. One internet connection I have is Verizon Wireless. It connects by a little wireless network adapter that my mom pops in her purse and takes with her every time she goes to a store. Another connection possibility is Linksys. It connects by a cord or wireless connection, but I do not really know how to work it. Any ideas on how to turn on the internet connection using Verizon wireless or Linksys? Thanks for helping!
