I am 15 years old. I was diagnosed in first grade. I have tried to keep it a secret because I know that if any one found out, they would make fun of me. People seem to think that people with ADHD are retarded. It hurts to hear what others say and know that they, without them knowing it are talking about me. People also think that kids with ADHD are very stupid and incapable of getting good grades.
