    Have you tried adderall? Amphetamines work wonders with my attention span.. I used to not like it, but I've learned the benefits. There are also non-stimulant alternatives, never tried em but I heard that they work. I was flunking outof highschool until I decided to get a script to adderall, and had a complete turn around. You take meds and seem to be doing fine. Good for you. I say jus keep the high GPA and study your ass off for the ACT/SAT.. Apply early to college, that's when they have the highest acceptance rate. Apply for scholarships as soon as you can, I wish I had started when I was a freshman in highscool. Can save you a lot of money.

    what kind of scholarships can you apply for as a highschool student?

    I'm in college now, and even though I am back on adderall, I can say a lot of it has to do with self control and self motivation overall. I go down to the school library everyday, for as long as I can. I have all the materials to do the work at home, its just the environment of having 40 other students doing homework, in an area where there are just desks and computers, helps motivate me to get my work finished.

    this^^^^ is a very good idea, I usually study in my room which is next to the lounge/tv but it isn't usually all that busy. I might try this though, thanks for the idea.

    [i hope you didn't take what i said as a personal attack. Its more of a rant for me. Im just tired of seeing these lazy, fat, ungrateful, and disrespectful kids. Still there are ALOT of kids and parents that use ADD/ADHD and other "issues" to make themselve to feel better about themselves or their kids. Im glad that you actually apply yourself and are doing well which is what others need to do. I say move to the other school and challenge yourself which will need MORE of your attention and force yourself to do well. Keep a good head on your shoulders and do well.

    nah I understand dude, I totally agree with what you're saying. I appreciate the motivation :drinks:

    It sometimes is more than an excuse. My friends have told me I am possibly the most ADD kid they know. And they are very pleased when I take ADD medication, as I am able to hold my attention and finish a complete conversation. I don't act this way to be a doucher or because its funny, I just really can't hold my attention easily. Contrary to how it was back in the day, no beating was going to level out that chemical imbalance within my brain lol

    hahaha I've been told when I'm being really ADD, but also when I seem really concentrated. Usually my concentration (and ADD of course) is so powerful that other students look at me and comment on it. The only thing I hate is when people think I'm being ADD when I'm just trying to be goofy or I'm talking about something that they don't get.. then again, this was mainly from my ex, so GOOD RIDDANCE!! lol
