I'm coooold

Johnathan if you have ADD you probably would have known by now .. it's not something that you can ignore for 20 years and then all of a sudden develop. Did your teachers ever say anything about that in school? Especially elementary school? My best friend in college has ADD and it's kinda obvious ...

Thats just the thingy Joey... I can't remember if the teachers said anything

They would have said something to your parents I'm sure .. ADD kids in school can be very hard to teach for a lot of reasons

They thought I had ADD when I was younger. I got tested like 3 times. Turns out I was just rambunctious and not being challenged enough at school.

i think i was ADHD when i was little. seriously. i couldn't sit still. I was so freaking hyper. It was because I was so curious though. My mom says I was a "busy" child

I love these earrings.

I asked them about it. They said no teacher contacted them

So...either I don't have it...or the teachers didnt recognize the symptons

...but I'm goin to the doctor tommorow for sure

you can't ignore the symptoms of ADD for 20 years

what can I say?

i know a girl who has those earrings.

ya those symptoms would be pointed out early. I don't think it's possible for every teacher, and your parents to miss it. Usually ADD (or ADHD) causes lower grades in younger students, which usually results in meetings between the teachers and parents. This would be followed by some sort of assessment (I can't remember exactly what it is, but my brother, and a couple of friends when I was little had to get tested for it) then depending on the degree of ADD you might need medication.

It doesn't sound like you have that though, cause you're able to play guitar for long periods of time and not get restless or anything like that. I'm sure there's other things too.
I guess if you're worried about it though you might as well get it checked out. At least then if there is something wrong there's a chance of finding a solution.

My brother is the hugest ADD/ADHD kid ever... He's been on ritalin for like 8 or 9 years now. I can't cope with the kid if he doesn't take it. Wait....I never can. Never mind.


They thought I had ADD for awhile. Probably still do. They only made me take ritalin once, in grade 7, but I was fairly rebelious, and refused after the first couple weeks or so. I didn't care if it worked or not, but I knew some stuff most kids didn't at my age, and didn't want to be sucked into a society that beleives all its problems can be cured with drugs. Being 12, I didn't know how to say that too well, so it basically came out as "I don't WANT to!"

wow a freshman psych major and already making diagnoses

first thing they tell you to do in abnormal psych is not diagnose or suggest diagnoses to people.

well actually that's from what I, or my mom has been told about ADD. There are some really easy to see signs. People with ADD can't sit stil long enough to play an instrument, and even if they did sit still long enough they wouldn't be able to play anything cause they wouldn't be able to stick to a song.

Go to any grade 2 class and you'll be able to point out an ADHD or ADD child. Its quite simple.

And I would like to thank you Rob for jumping on the "bash Jim" bandwagon. The more the merrier I guess right? Anyone else wanna take a jab? come on! it's fun! you know you want to!

Well, if you weren't such a God awful asshole, we all wouldn't hate you! It's not some sudden epidemic of people not liking you buddy, it's been this way for a long time, just no one spoke out and just waited for you to stop being condescening, and it never stops, so yeah, fuck off.

I dunno what i'm more pissed about, the fact that i might have failed my bio test, or the fact that i might not have aced my accounting test.

Everyone hates me eh?
in the last week 3 people have said negative things towards me. That's not very many considering how many people are on this board. In fact, I've had a couple people send me personal messages that said that they agreed with what I said in Neil's joke thread. The only reason they didn't stand up for me was cause they don't want to be harassed in other threads. Even then I'd like to think the positives cancel out the negatives.

I haven't been an ass to anyone excpet for those who have been one to me. So far that list contains you really, and even then I only act like an ass towards you when you act like one towards me or others who don't want to stand up for themselves. I've even made honest attempts to make amends with you but to no avail.

The CM is supposed to be a friendly community and at one point it was, and really it was like that at a time when I was making more posts a day than I do now, so to say that I'm spurring the hatred on the board seems rather odd to say.

I would prefer that this feud ended. I'm not leaving anytime soon, and neither will you, so what's the point in making this place hostile for everyone? Personally, I don't see a point.

my friend alison and i are huge losers. we are going to home depot at 7am on saturday to see ty from trading spaces. heh.
