I guess it depends how severe your ADHD is.
I can't focus on anything, nevermind hyperfocus.
I get the sense from your post that you are able to focus on 'fun' stuff like tv or posting on the web, but not able to focus on schoolwork. If that's the case, I don't think you really have ADHD. In ADHD, you can't focus on anything, whether it's something you enjoy or something you don't enjoy. It doesn't matter.
