When Having ADD they seek attention cuz they think they don't get enough of it.

It's not that at all, well I suppose it could be indirectly.. the word 'attention' in the name does not mean they aren't getting enough attention, it means they can't pay enough attention to the things around them.
Aight I'll settle this easy. My brother has ADHD or thats what the Doc says. Any ways, its never been actually proven that ADD or ADHD even exists. These disorders are nothing but theories of what a doctors think cause them. My brother wus diagnosed with it because he fidgeted when they were testing him for it. There is also another theory about these that they are actually caused by the diet of the one with the disorder. My brother and many of the kids I know who have ADD or ADHD tend to skip meals and eat lots of chocolate cookies and soda. Its still though, as i said, has not been actually determined wut causes these people to act how they do

what is your opinion on the disease that has so called "infected" many kids in the last decade. Personally...i think it is funny as hell but useless...I mean if kids cant pay attention to one thing for more than 10 mins, then how are they playing these video games for hours upon time?
They technically are the same thing and they dont switch topics randomly or forget what they were saying. Its nothing like that. Its more like when someones talking they cant focus on them if they find it boring. Same as when a teachers talking, they space out or do their own thing although i find that most peope do that anyways
i myself cannot find enough in me to stay connected to certain set plan. i will often say i will do something and while doing it i will get bored and decide to put it off until later. another word for my ailement is lazy. these kids may not have the same thing but in most cases it will be someone who just doesnt care to listen. my cousin used to say he didnt know why he acted up in school, but when he was getting his butt beat for acting up, he starting getting back into the flow of things. disipline in small doces is a good thing. if he didnt have a mother who desiplined him for the things he did or friends who would beat the snott out of him for being obnoxious, he may still have been the way he was. i am not saying toss a kid around for being hyper. im saying set some limits, if they cross them, there is consequesnces. a person should learn from the beggining of life that there is accepted and not accepted actions. if not, then we get prolly half the people in kmc now. j/k really do you want your kids to grow up like tth, rob, spoony, dave, or me?

I think I have ADD 'cause I lose focus on stuff all the time 'cause not many things can keep me very interested, but I also think I have the school thing like your brother. I get in arguments with teachers because their classes bore me so much, and I don't do the work for the same reason pushing me into even more sped classes. Its funny, but its also very annoying.
And about the ADD or ADHD meaning the get a lack of attention towards them is false, they aren't all obnoxious and seeking attention, only the people who have grown to be like that are like that. You don't have to have a disease to be that way.
Does Anybody here have ADHD?
coffee1 because the other day my friend gave me some of her boyfriends sleeping medication, because he has ADHD, i guess he needs help sleeping, and OMFG that shit was strong, i passed out for like 3 hours, and then when i woke up it felt like i was dead, my face was literally green! i still cant remeber what i did for the rest of the day in school, though. but does anybody here have ADHD, cuz i want to know if the pill was actually supposed to work that good?
