Scratch

I feel like I do, but my parents facepalm when I ask.

If you are young and hate boring things then that is just typical and doesn't mean anything is wrong.

I can't sit still for long,  have NO attention span, and i go REALLY Off-topic a lot.
@Aidan: Yeyz. Someone else has it.
@Gir: Left 4 dead RPG, please!

Yeah, self diagnosis probably isn't the way to go. A lot of normally functioning children can't sit still, pay attention to boring things, and go off topic. Even if you do have an issue, dwelling on this will just make it worse.

Doctors told me I have ADD (no hyperactivity) but that doesn't really matter since I do better in school than most people which is basically the only issue than anyone seems to care about.

i am almost sure I have ADHD, but neither me OR my parents want me to get examined, cuz we think its * and I don't want to get drugged out.

anyways, ADHD is a scam.  its just yet another thing that doctors can "diagnose" and therefore get paid more.  don't every say you are ADHD.  just tell people you are hyperactive.  you know they have a syndrome for having messy handwriting?  its called "disgraphia".

but whatever you do, just don't get put on medication.

Yeah, this is especially bad in the US which has the highest rate of over diagnosis.

The last point is particularly important, ADHD drugs are almost inhuman. Not to mention that using them to improve results is leading then up to fail when they get off.

I don't think so.... I might have a little teeny-weeny bit of ADD but I'm not really showing much symptoms. It must be difficult to have it, since you can't focus. I'm reading Percy Jackson and the Olympians and the main character has ADHD.  Hopefully you'll find out if you do or don't have it soon.

I can't focus AT ALL on ANYTHING with the exeption of my computer. I've read the entire series, BTW.

How did you focus long enough to read it?

Star is a she.

I was just officially diagnosed with it yesterday... seriously, it's like you're spying on me    I'm not hyperactive at all, but it's almost impossible to concentrate in school or on other things that aren't interesting. But when I find something I am interested in, it can take a long time for me to stop... at least, that's what they told me.

Freaky coincidence.. I have never spied on, stalked, etc. ANYONE in my life. Well, exept for searching up my friends houses on google maps. 
@Blade: Wut? What is that????????????

... I had no idea... Don't worry, you ish still my friend!!! I'm stuck here (NOT ON SCRATCH!) with people who call me freak, and degrade me every single chance they can get. That really sux, so I will NOT tell them about my ADHD....  (I lost the game.)

If they ever do something against you, lecture them LOUDLY.
Or just ask them to stop 

Lecturing them is probably the worst thing you can do.

Tried those both...
