I Have Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD)

Life Is Difficult Enough! (A.D.D) Makes It Worse...... My whole life I have struggled with school. I'm scared to even raise my hand in class because I don't want the other students to laugh at me if I say something stupid. It's so hard to focus, and I always hear people say stuff like "yeah I'm so out of it today I think I have (A.D.D)" like its some joke but I take it offensive because people don't realize how much it really sucks until they have it. I hate when teachers say to me "do you want me to make the test easier for you" because it makes me feel stupid. I don't want to take my tests in a small room because I have A.D.D. I don't want to have the worst memory in the world and not be able to do average on a test. I don't even know if I will even pass high school. I just want to be normal, I want to be smart! And I hate having to take Concerta everyday for it. I just want to be able to learn without a stupid pill.
