Like I said never diagnose. What you have could be ADD it might not be. First talk to a doctor
and describe your symptoms then make sure you get a specialist referal. Only a specialist
is qualified to diagnose not you, not your friends, and especially not the school (trust me).
BE SURE TO VOICE ALL YOUR QUESTIONS AND CONCERS! I can't stress how important
that always is. If you do have ADD it is probably inatentive type (without hyperactivity). Please
don't take my word for it though, get tested ASAP. Hope this helps!
