Okay so I'm a 14 year old girl going on to 15 in a couple of months, I'm new to this website too... I've been having so much trouble with life it's stressing out my mother like crazy and she's always yelling at me. I just finished my freshman year in high school and it was absolutely terrible. I've never gotten so many bad grades and never have I felt like I was a huge failure. I failed 2 classes so I must take them next school year, the reason I'm having so much trouble is because I have a very very hard time learning and keeping my attention and it's not just at school it's also here at home. School is boring and very uninteresting to me and I've become so careless toward it same goes for at home, video gaming is something I enjoy and it's very interesting to me and I enjoy it but when it comes to my responsibilities I become careless and uninterested in it, like my chores and respecting myself and my parents and siblings. I just can't get myself to fully commit to being responsible at home and at school. I have such a hard time learning at school I loose attention very quickly and I'm bored. At home, all I do is play video games, it's very entertaining to me, I feel like I do have ADHD/ADD. I'm not like the other kids, they actually care about their grades and can actually pay their full attention at school they actually respect their parents and can get the good grades. I tell my mother how I have a hard time learning and remembering things at school but it seems like she doesn't really care, I did mention ADHD/ADD but she just shut me up and kinda blew it away. I have such a hard time and my attempts at fixing it all failed.
A list of things that occur:
* Very short memory
* Cannot pay attention (at home and at school)
* I do feel sad about it all and am never in a good mood.
* I blurt out things without thinking about it.
* My responsibilities are something I absolutely have no interest in
* I become very disrespectful to my mother
* Things I find interest in only keep me entertained and keep me away from sadness and boredom.
* I get very hyper and I cannot help it at all once it kicks in.
* Crazy mood swings
* Carelessness is a huge problem
* Very disorganized
* Lazy
* Super restless
These are just a few examples of my problems daily and it's really affecting me negativity, it results in bad grades, angry mother who can never trust me or believe anything I say, and me? Well I just feel sad all the time. My mother yells at me all the time about my behavior and like I said before I've have my attempts but they've never succeed.
