How can I get my mom to pay attention to me?

How can I pay attention in class with ADHD?

• I need to pay attension in class, I do computer school like the ones you see on tv. I was on medison when I lived with my mom and it helped a little bit but, when I moved in with my dad he wouldn't take me over to get more because hes lazy and he also doesn't think its a big problem that I have it and that just because I have ADHD doesn't mean I should get any more help then my sisters. And hes always yelling at me if I don't do good in school. And I have a kid and I want to do better to get out of here and still give him a good life. Also my school is doing this christmas thing where if I can bring my grades up I get a free gift card. My dad really wants me to get it he says so I can get gifts for my son but I know its because he wants it. And I am not doing that good. I been trying but its so hard with ADHD I can pay attention to what I'm doing next thing I know schools over and I didn't get much done. I posted this up before but noone answered to it, I need some ways to help pay attention in class please.

• Answer:

  Hi, I am so sorry you seem to have so many problems at such a young age. You really need to find someone to talk to - someone who can help you find solutions to your problems. Do you still see your mum - can you talk to her and ask her for help with the medication you need? If not is there a Mentor or teacher at school that you can talk to?
