  1. One of my friends is ADHD and it took awhile to understand what he was
    going through. He would attack me and scream and yell. He really can’t help
    it and hanging around him made me stronger and more focused. These kids
    need somebody who is patient and just willing to take a chance on them. I’m
    a better friend for accepting him for who he is. I’m glad to know him.

  2. @cxmb I dont think the world was a happier place per say. Back then the
    popular view of kids with ADHD was more like ”An unruly child. He will
    grow probably out of it.” Today the same kid is being told he is mentally
    ill. And being fed medicine because he is mentally ill. Doctors are telling
    parrents that billy needs special treatment because he is mentally ill.
    Doctors, teachers and parrents are telling kids with ADHD on a nearly daily
    basis that there is something inherrently wrong with them

  3. My big brother ehren had ADHD, he’s had it since he was 10 maybe, I can’t
    remember. But that kidds the smartest person I know. And he’s only 17. He
    chooses to not do his work, because when he pays attention he has all A’s!
    And it frustrates me more than anything that I struggle and hate my
    classes, but he just somehow is part genius and doesn’t want it… :/ he
    got kicked out of online school for being behind and now he’s takin his
    schooling at the college. He’s graduating this December, 2 year

  4. todays kids are pushed too hard…every kid who cant keep up must have ADD
    or ADHD…its just being a kid! unfortunately its been the fall back label
    since the 80’s

  5. I can’t sit still cuz my body just can’t. When i learn some thing… about
    5 minutes later i can’t remember. I have frustration problems… like if a
    test is too hard i’ll just sit there for about 10 minutes crying not doing
    it. Other then that MY LIFE ROCKS!!!!!!

  6. im 17 and i cant concerntrate at school proply and when i get angry i turn
    everything upside down (mess everything up) and i dont know if i should
    contact my doctor about it

  7. i have ADHD sometimes when I don’t take my pill I get off track and get
    distracted easily like one time i answered a question with Merry Christmas
    because that’s what I think about all the time… when I’m not on my pill

  8. @sk8bow I have it and it was hard to watch this whole video without being
    hyper.I also am always called lazy.You should be glad u dont have it.im
    only a kid

  9. ADHD can be pretty annoying sometimes I have to have 15mg methylphenidate
    everyday which is shite cos I don’t want to eat I can get real angry easily

  10. I have it too, but i don’t regonize it too be a disorder. It’s just a
    different shape of brain to me. I have more creativity then the most
    people. Some of the most creative, innovative, and imaginative people of
    the world have ADHD.. It’s not fun too not being able to focus, but find
    something in your life you like too do and you have a good chance too go in
    Hyperfocus-mode. Who cares if you have too much energy? Go play sports on a
    reguler basis too lower you energy levels in general.

  11. I have ADHD. I hate it because when my medicine makes me focus, it makes me
    angry and not eat. But when I take a lower dose, which makes me happy and
    all my friends like me, I don’t focus… so its either good grades or a
    social life

  12. @hiphoppacmotion I’m in my 3rd year and I too find it hard to concentrate
    and study. However I think I’m just lazy and unmotivated, because I am able
    to focus when the exam is only 1 or 2 days away. Someone with ADD probably
    wouldn’t be able to.

  13. @tien714 Symptoms of ADD/ADHD are not externally displayed so it’s very
    hard to determine/diagnose that someone has ADD.

  14. does this change show up in a brain scan? objective tests are important to
    rule out biased opinions based on false correlations.

  15. i have a learning disability and my teachers are pretty sure its ADHD
    because with special test I have took. but the school can’t diagnose it.
    Only doctors can is what my teachers told me and it just sucks not exactly
    knowing what I have. all I really need is an answer. and i did research
    that most boys get learning disabilities because if there growth of
    something. Because I’m a girl and always wonder why I was always in boys
    groups and the only girl in groups for when I got help.

  16. Every year when i go to camp , there is always a person with ADHD in my
    cabin .. and to be honest people with ADHD are really cool and fun once you
    get to know them . Thats why i dont always judge them right when i see a
    person diagnosed with it .

  17. @cxmb I dunno man, I was diagnosed as well and I definitely had problems
    with that stuff. The fact that you didn’t makes me think you might’ve been
    misdiagnosed. ADHD makes it extremely hard to stay organized, affects
    reading and listening comprehension, and obviously makes staying focused
    and on task incredibly difficult. If that doesn’t frustrate you and stress
    you right the hell out, especially when you’re a kid, then I don’t believe
    you were suffering from it.

  18. @1Rachelzz1 oh my god. i have never met someone with the exact same problem
    as me. i really know how you feel, i’m failing school because of that. i
    havent been diagnosed with anything because my mother won’t take me to any
    specialists…

  19. I’m 24. Growing up, I was basically made to understand by health
    professionals that I had problems like ADD, depression, anxiety and all the
    stuff every normal kid faces. In turn, actually turned out to be quite a
    brilliant person. Too often, parents are force feeding their children the
    idea that they’re incompetent because their backward ass bought out and
    paid for doctors don’t know up from down and only what big pharma tells
    them. Thank god I didn’t take the drugs and turn into a zombie 😀

  20. i Have ADHD. When I sit i move around and when i sleep i move around too
    much. sometimes I When i do homework i thing about something else and get
    off the homework and do what I want to do. and i tend to annoy everyone I
    know. I also tend to always love to be around my mother.

  21. @cxmb it may be that you have a different type of AD/HD… different types
    affect different areas of the brain and cause different responses to
    stress, social situations and treatments.

  22. @cxmb ive got adhd, and i had a harder time when i was on my meds, and i
    finally told my parents i havent been taking the meds, and they got mad,
    untill i told them i hadnt taken them for 7 months, and they never noticed.
    the only thing i ever notice is that its nearly impossible for me to do
    something that i cant explain/ justify. if someone explains how this will
    benefit me, all of a sudden i can do it without wanting to destroy
    something.
