The first time I cried, I literally cried, I sat in the classroom and cried, I was so scarred I couldn't move from my chair, the teacher didn't see me so she left me in the classroom by myself, it wasn't until the detention supervisor came looking for me that they figured out where I was, And instead of being understanding and calming down a crying, borderline panic attack child, I got in more trouble for being in a classroom by myself and "Skipping" detention and when she told me to move I physically could not I was that terrified, and again she started yelling at me because I wasn't moving, then she grabbed my arm and forced me out of the classroom, finally my actual teacher who knew me who I knew and wasn't terrified showed up and I don't know how but she took control of the situation the detention supervisor left me alone, in the end we compromised instead of detention I would have to write a letter apologizing to every one involved including the mean lady who pushed me into a flipping panic attack. This was like…. 2nd 3rd grade. in 5th grade I ended up hanging out in the detention room during lunch and play time any way because I was a book worm (It was also with a different teacher whom I was friends with).
That's terrible! You poor thing.
It was 8 years ago, I'm not that upset about it now, I'm just upset that the teacher who acted like that is still teaching.

That is upsetting. She could be unfair to other students too. You deserve better Relsey.

She was also the really mean sub in 1st grade, she took away my book because it's reading level was 3.4 and I was in first grade there was no way I could read that high.

That's really mean, not to mention dumb too! She should be glad that you want to read that high!
This is why my mom had me homeschooled until Highschool. People would have held me back for my ADHD issues, and I would have been pushed too hard, or not enough. I would have gotten in trouble for my literal inability to sit still, and I would have been punished for stupid things like not getting something right away. And it would have been harder since I moved almost every year and a half. I am glad, that I now have the skills to function in school, and I am so so so glad I am medicated. I don't think I could survive a week of myself on full ADHD symptoms… I drive myself crazy when I forget my meds..
I know how you feel. I struggle with OCD, yet it is so misunderstood. It's more than "Oh this bothers me. Better look away.". I can't write because the letters won't be perfect and I'll literally freak out. Everything has to be typed. Can't draw either. I can't walk normally in the halls because I have to jump tiles so both my feet are on the same color. Everyone notices and it makes me embarrassed cause they just assume I'm being dumb or something and it's hard to jump from tile to tile. And when I'm off by the slightest, my brain won't shut up about it and I freak out! There's so much other stuff too. People don't realize how much they take for granted unless it's gone. Like the ability to do those things, or in your case, sit still, right?
Exactly! I'm in cadets, and my peers have an issue with shutting up, sitting still, and standing still, even for a minute. I can do it. They have no Idea how hard it is, but I can do it. It takes all my self control to keep for screaming in the ear of the guy next to me who is talking, or the person two files over. I have legitimately considered quitting the program for this reason, and they don't know how close I've come. I can do it. It is really hard. And it is even harder when the people who don't have the issues I do don't. And I hate it when it happens. But I also love the program….
That sounds rough. I know you're strong though.
My Brother has ADHD and it is heart breaking to see how much testing and meds. he gets put on so he can "Be normal" I hate it, the worst is when someone asks him, "Have you taken your medicine today?" When he's being disruptive or hyper, Like he's a human, he's a little kid, he's bound to be a little crazy now and then and that's ok, California has this stupid thing where if a teacher says that a kid Has ADHD they're automatically tested and the majority of the time they're put on medication for it, in fact they have to be. This means there can easily be miss diagnoses, I hate the way the drugs take the life out of him, he's a little kid running around like a crazy person is what they do, it's good for them, it's exercise. I don't know I just feel like right now there is a serious problem with the way it is. My brother shouldn't be taught that having fun is bad, he shouldn't be taught to rely on medicine and drugs. He got in trouble and his immediate reply was, "Oops I forgot to take my medicine." And that's just heart breaking to me. I don't know Sorry I went off on a rant there.
Woah… I actually have to be careful with my meds… i cant take them twice a day or too late in the day or i wont sleep later or will have issues. And seriously? Your parents should be the ones handling the meds… then he wont forget….
That just sounds awful… like honestly awful… thats legit worse than people using stuff like this as an excuse…..
That probably sounded rreally judgey or bossy… and I'm sorry if it came off wrong…

Normally they do, some days they wont be home in the morning and he'll have to do it by himself
Oof…. either way Im sorry he has to go through that….
Have you tried looking up and resaerching other coping methids for ADHD? Fidget toys, breaks, self control…
The stuff my mom drilled into me has really helped me cope…. (its so drilled in that i dont even recognize it)
Even if we did legally we can't take him off, if the school says he needs it it is illegal for us to not give it to him.
What?! What if its a misdiagnosis and the drugs are hurting more than helping??
(That just sounds messed up)
my brother takes ADD meds and I used to to, and they can be helpful to an extent, but requiring them by law sounds pretty…bad
It's the almost the end of winter and the high today is 70 I think.
my brother takes ADD meds and I used to to, and they can be helpful to an extent, but requiring them by law sounds pretty…bad
Idk the context but I agree. They can be addictive.
Anyone bored and want me to send them a pickup line?
