I am 17 years old. A junior in high school. My problem started just after elementary school. My grades would slip, and all I could feel was frustration. I asked for help for years but most turn away saying things like "you're just not putting in enough effort." Now finally, as of 3 weeks ago I have been diagnosed with A.D.D. After a long journey of I.Q. tests, exams, hospital trips and therapy. This week will be the first week I start medication for treat mean. As nervous as I am; I am more excited to see the results.
