Welcome to Gaia! ::

I know this is stupid, but I have a problem. Nothing big. But I can't seem to concentrate on what I'm supposed to. For example, I'm in class and the teacher is trying to explain something to the students. I look at her/him and I try to listen, but evrything seems tuned out. I can't seem to process everything into my head. I don't know if I might have a case of ADD. Even my best friend thought I did. And she was serious. I try to pay attention, but everything seems tuned out. Like I can't understand what they are saying. I'm completely distracted by something else and stay focus on my distraction than on what I'm really supposed to be concentrated on. It's quite confusing actually. I even mentioned it to my mother and she said it was nothing. It's like I'm on my own little world. AHHHH! It kind of bothers me sometimes. I'm a very good student, but my grades have been slightly dropping lately because I haven't stayed focused.

If it is this much of a problem, make and appointment with your doctor and tell them the issue, it is very possible you have ADD. So until you see them, try different methond of paying attention, my friend thinks of the teacher asa distraction and tried to focus of something else in the room and ends up fosucing on the teacher. I doubt it could work for you, but until you see a doctor try to find something thatdoes.

Well it does sound like you could have ADD or something like that. I woudl suggest going to talk to a doctor about it, or maybe a guidence counciller at your school or something. Try talking to someone other then your parents about it who woudl be able to do something for you.

Maybe you should see how things go for a little while. If you have consistently had good grades until now, it is likely that something else could just be distracting. Most people I know with either ADD/ADHD have had serious problems since elementary school (serious as in either discipline problems or poor schoolwork). Everyone tunes out from time to time.

But if you are really worried, or if your grades are continually affected, you could always try talking to your mother again. Or you could try another trusted adult, or even a counselor at the school.

sounds like me xp i just ask my friends what the teacher said later and it works. (though my grades stll arent as good as they used to be)
