Answers:

If your parents don't listen or believe you print up some info on the Internet on the symptoms of adhd. If they still don't listen talk to your schools guidance counselor and maybe they can speak to your parents and let them know the risk of this going untreated if adhd is what you do in fact have. My son is 10 and he has been diagnosed with the disease for 3yrs now before we found out that he had adhd he was having a lot of problems in school behavioral and educational.Now that we have on low dosage of adderal he has improved tremendously. Adhd is never cured but it can be controlled
