    Yes. Every other person your age "has ADHD". When I was your age, ADHD did not exist. There were kids who had self-control and those who did not.

    aboslutely! there are a lot of people, successful people who have adhd. are you struggling with the idea? if so, the important thing to remember is that you should treat it like a pulled muscle. While the "pulled muscle" is healing, you must learn to do some things differently. So, while you are learning to deal with your adhd (your pulled muscle) you have to learn how to do some things a little differently. For example, you might not be able to sit for an hour a complete homework. So, instead, you do 15 minutes of homework and then reward yourself with 10 minutes of your playstation (or whatever works for you). You continue to do this until your homework is complete. Now, as you get better at it, you increase the time to 20 minutes of homework and 10 minutes of reward. You train your brain to work the way you want it to. Just like you would with a newly healed muscle.

    Does that help?

    Yes, there are a lot of people with ADHD, and you probably know some in your own school. There is a website called CHADD that offers support to people who suffer from ADHD. Try the site: http://www.chadd.org/

    Also look up ADHD and food sensitivities

    ADHD and Candida

    Try to find out what you are really interested in so you can have something meaningful to do, in addition to your schoolwork and friends.
