You need to talk to a trusted teacher, guidance counsellor, or youth minister & explain to them what is going on. Let them you think you have ADHD, & that your family isn't listening to you.
It is very hard for most parents to accept their child has a disability, but hopefully with the help of an official they will help you.
Good luck, keep us posted.
Definitely seek someone you trust and who you think can help you. I wouldn't stay narrow-minded with the ADHD though....a doctor will be able to diagnose and treat/help you better than most other people. Good luck and take it easy!

Yes, OMG! It's really hard for parents to accept the disability! i know as of late, My mom gets in arguments with me over weather or not I have ADHD, She sees the simptoms, but...She can't see her only daughter with it. I gave her a paper i found at www.adhdsupportcompany.com about ADHD and girls, saying that they are different and she still won't believe me. Csmommy has great comment!! Listen to her!
But for anytime, you need someone to talk to. We are here. Sure I may be a newbie and all but everyone and anyone can help.
I know no matter how much I talk to my parents or try to inform them, they still don't believe that AD/HD even exists!! Sure does make for a rough time ...but I got through it all the same and can still look at them and know they love me, they're just ignorant or something. Good luck with everything and post any questions, I'm sure we're all willing to help with what we can!
sweetie, not only could you have ADHD, but suicide attempts reflect Bipolar also. When you tried to committ suicide did you not see a psychiatrist then. They should have evaluated you for these things then.
Dont try suicide again please, you are precious in this world. Know no matter how hard things seem, there is always an answer, sometimes it can take a long time. Some ppl on this forum are just getting diagnosed after 30 and have suffered a long time, but are becoming happier.
Life is worth living, it is hard and tough, but these things make us stronger eventually, even though sometimes we feel we can cope at the moment. The moment will pass.
Call the hospital that you went to when you tried to commit suicide and ask to speak to a counsellor. They may be able to help you, and they may be able to talk to your parents for you.
Children do have rights, and you will need to claim your rights. Children in the US have a heap of them, from what I can tell.
But yes talk to another adult that can do the communicating with your parents for you.
And let the cousin thing go as best you can, you dont need to worry if you did nothing wrong.
hey mental.mainiac,
the first thing you should do is get some help. it could possibly be bipolar disorder...or a mood disorder or possibly adhd with them. i am moody and somtimes suicidal but generally it's because of low self esteem. you're swings in mood sound kinda severe to me. i am not a doctor k. so this is not medical advice but just kinda get some help and if you think about suicide say to yourself god i can do all these great things if i live etc. that makes me feel better. i get angry at myself sometimes because i get so isolated and it's my own fault. i hate myself for actin stupid around people. but now i like myself. It could also be somtim to do with your family probs. i have that too and it makes me numb sometimes and withdrawn. keep a good outlook and seek some help and you'll be fine
