School Work
As parents we want more for our kids than we had, that is just how we are. I have learnt that my kids can only be what they are and to be grateful for that much. And by being positively supportive, they help themselves more without the need for me to be pushy.
Ask your parents what they expect from you and perhaps write them a letter explaining what you are going through. This may help
How old are u???? Why do u think that ur mom and dad don't like u???? Have u done sometin to make them mad?Hi Henry, I am not sure how old you are but I have a son who is 12. He was diagnosed with ADHD. It has been very hard. I know he tries hard. I also know a number of times i have heard him say that I dont like him. I know I get mad alot. It is very frustrating to a parent with a child that has problems. I dont always see how hard he is trying to be good. I love him though very much. and i am sure your parents love you. I just isnt easy being a parent either.

Henrey I can understand how you're feeling. I went through that myself as a kid. My parents didn't understand pretty much anything I was going through. They just constantly yelled or punished me. It's very tough and aggrivating but you will get through it. Life doesn't suddenly get better when you are an adult but you will have more options so things will seem easier.
Unfortunaltely school has only one set of rules and it is very hard for most kids with ADHD to deal with. When you're an adult you will have to work but you can pick what you want to do. You'll be able to find something you like instead of being forced to do what you don't. The same is true for after work, if you want to play video games that will be your choice.
I can also understand you being upset about the video games. Growing up I played a lot of games, I even play them now whenever I get a chance. Most parents, mine included, see video games as just a big waste of time. For me they were one of the only things I could sit still and focus on when my parents insisted that I play quietly. I was hyperactive and very distractable so I couldn't just sit and watch tv with the family. Games are fast paced and interactive so they can hold an ADDers attention like no other indoor activity.
Of course your parents do love you. They want to help you, they just don't know how to do it. All the yelling is them getting upset that they aren't able to help you. I know it's hard to explain to them how you feel but the more you can share with your parents the more they will be able to understand. Trust me they don't want to yell at you and they don't hate you. They are just worried about you.
hope things are workin out for ya there pal...

You parents love you no matter what just like rae said even though they may get mad sometimes. Best thing you can do is try your best. No one can ever ask any more of you.
By the way, i used to hide all my bad marks from my parents and just flat out lie if I could. Beat getting yelled at for being lazy. It's terribly hard for someone who doesn't have the disorder to understand the disorder because they just don't feel it. They just can't understand it, even after having heard about it.
I'd say be patient but that just isn't what we do.
You are a good person and always remember that life will always go on and things will always get better sometime, they have to. Matt is right bout that
I got a 75% on a math quiz i studied for. I forgot to do a health assignment so i have a 50% on that. My parents dont want me to play video games and they are always so against me and mad. I have ADDHD i feel so mad, because my mom and dad dont like me i dont think.
Hi Henrey, I'm sorry things aren't going your way. Perhaps there is a guidence counselor or teacher at school you can talk to? Someone who's opinion both you & your parents respect.Enter Your Email below to claim your Free Book
