Default Odd Subject ADD

Does anybody have ADD on the board? I may need to get tested to see if I have ADD I took like 4 tests online and they all said I have symptoms of ADD.

personally i would bet roughly 5% of kids on meds actually have true ADD.

these meds are a business. they want clients.

Personally, unless your trusted family doctor says you have ADD, i wouldnt worry about it. Those tests are designed to make people think they have ADD, so they call thier doc and say "HEY, I have ADD!" gimme some drugs.

ive known a dozen people who were supposedle afflicted with ADD, before and after medication. Honestly, they were normal to begin with except for skittles, we called him that cause it fit. anyways, yeah, i believe he had ADD. everyone else is just falling to thier fears and giving thier money to the pharmacutical companys.

I swear this ****ing country wont be happy untill we are all on a cocktail of drugs to make us mindless good citizens.

dont trust those tests. changes are you are fine.

americans managed to get by quite fine for hundreds of years. Now they want to drug every ****ing kid in the planet. Of course the kid gets distracted, he is a ****ing kid. thats what they do. the teachers are just too lazy to try to keep the attention of normal kids. drug em all up!
**** that
The reason why I say this is I am easily distracted and my test scores have actually started to get worse as the semesters are passing by. I cant sit in one place without fidgeting and according to my g/f I dont listen....lol

well ****, I have the same problem.. I cannot focus on school work at all, even if I think it's entertaining. If I go out to resturants then I usually play with everything on the table. I don't think I have ADD though, I think I just get bored easily lol

Looking at causes for ADD and family history I worry about it 2 main things is substance abuse from previous members and anxiety disorders which I have faint traces of that.

Every Person that has gotten detention in school has ADD...

lol...

They say I have it... shoot... Almost every person I know has it...

I don't think its a real illness or whatever...

I think it comes down to either...

1.You need to care about what you're trying to do
2.You need to be motivated

If you don't give a rats *** and are feeling lazy... then you have "ADD"

And if you bring an airhorn to school... you have ADD
And if you bring horse **** to school and throw it around the cafeteria... you's got ADD
And if decide to skip class and laugh at security guards that cant catch you... ADD

lol...

Thing is that they said I have it... but I can sit and do welding and need 100% concentration and do fine... so...

I call BS on ADD

IMHO, I don't think ADD really exists. Hell I'm old school and I can multitask at work like noone else. I just prioritize which job needs to be done 1st vs. which will take the least amount of time, vs. which one will have the most value added. LOL. (That's my brainwashed corporation mind there).

Just remember, Theres is always something that needs to be done. so do it now. But also, there is time that needs to be taken for yourself, so, stop for a minute or 2 and watch the birds, or smell the roses, or whatever.

Paying attention when you really need to will come easier as you get older.

Just rely on common sense to let you know if you need to focus on the subject at hand or not...
