similar things happen to me with my extreme ADHD. now i know what you all are thinking, oh its just an excuse given all the time but at least for me its not. its not a matter of intelligence to do simple homework, in fact i struggle much more in classes like English or History than in advanced science classes. the thing is im great at history, and im a great reader too. i had the reading level of a high school senior when i was in 3rd grade. also in 3rd grade while being tested for ADHD i had around a 135 iq. i know that doesnt mean everything but having problems focusing ruins me. its like a basketball star with Asthma, it limits the thing im greatest at. for anyone who still thinks oh its just a made up condition, i think its just misdiagnosed. i was always a smart kid, everyone could see that, i was talking about speed of light and understanding high level science when i was young. but then in 3rd grade i had the testing because i got bad grades Bs and Cs. i was too smart for that, they realized something was wrong. i got a medicine and next year? straight As. but now its worse, im on a different medicine now, the old one worked but had bad side effects. vyvanse, is similar to adderall, its horrible even worse than that. it feels like its rotting my mind, but i tried going off during the summer, and when got back to school, i couldn't stay focused, worsened by the fact my adhd causes sleep problems and i couldn't stay awake enough to have energy to focus. having adhd is like thinking through fog, it slows down everything. with stimulants, i get a surge of mental energy in the day, im able to focus perfectly. however oddly enough i stiill need extra time, which is embarrassing considering i still get great grades they think i dont need it. yet i cant think quick, thats part of adhd you act on impulse rather than thnking, takes too long. its an enourmous effort just to get a thought to stick together too.

BEAR WITH ME... its a hard life though, maybe worse than being averagely smart. i end up in a similar position, not bad grades bout 3.9 GPA so far in high school. but the thing is, even when i can focus, it takes a while for that though to process, i need more time because of this. i feel not fair to everyone else though, i see people struggling for time who dont have adhd. its just they start pulling programs after i stopped IEP in 6th grade. i was on track again back then, and all they gave me was put me with the retarded kids, literally the retarded kids. no matter what i may say on the internet i dont honestly hate them. but still its degrading being seen as one of them. thats why i stopped it, and the only other programs i cant get because of having it not show negatively on my grades. what they dont get though is my teachers understand and have been giving me the time unofficially, thats why im doing fine, i just didnt need it in the past because i was so beyond the material i was learning. the other main issue is writing, i hate it. that makes it just great for focusing, its hard enough to focus as it is. dont tell me its a lack of discipline, ive been trying for years. the only way ive been able to do it so far is having the medicine right in my system. for example it took me untill 3am starting after school for a 40 line poem. but, on a Sunday when the meds are with me fully, i did a 5 page essay on a book i barely read and had to catch up on in about 2.5 hours, no trouble at all. but i cant just take it when i get home from school, ive already had some times where i go days without ability to sleep. thers other stuff too, my reading ability is wasted becuase ive lost all patients anymroe, ive got near debilitating OCD, Anxiety, Depression and the list goes on. WELL thats about it, i didnt come here to complain, i just came to share my story. i may not have found the solution yet, but i just wanna let any funnyjunkers know you can do it too. ...CONT

wow this is getting long i hope at least a few of you read this, not for the thumbs my life isn't that hard, although there is more if you are curious. had a alright family life well off financially, but i was near friendless growing up. adhd and especially ocd hurt me socially, but that's a story for another day, Basically what i wanted to say is that anyone suffering the same problems as me just know im here. anyone's free if ya wanna talk. BUT remember this isnt a story of wining, i didnt do this to complain about the problems, but it helps to share, to see if anyone else s i can help them with. im done looking for answers from other people, ive done that too much. for now i realy should share. yeah i haven't figured it all out yet but im working on it, and when i succeed il let you guys know. JUST remember that you aren't alone, and there is hope. many people i know go through worse stuff, and ive gotten to the point i saw death as the only other option. but i fought back, just as any of you should. I guess thats all i have to say from my long rant for now, so goodbye, goodluck, and MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!

>Smart kid
>Hate homework
>Realize it takes like no time
>Sucks it up and does his homework rather than being a little bitch about it
>Get A's
>Great college
>Awesome job
>World gains a grown man and doesn't improperly reward a little bitch
I say this as an individual who despises homework and will argue to the death about why we don't need it. The simple fact of the matter is, however, that it exists and the truly intelligent will realize its necessity and therefore do it.
I mean really, if you're actually a genius kid it will NOT take long for you to do your homework. 30 minutes a day and you can be the genius the world deserves. If you can't see that you are nowhere near as smart as you think you are.

It is just that homework is designed to help people learn things that they don't comprehend/practice. If we didn't get the material perhaps we wouldn't mind but since we do it gets not only tedious but dammed insulting that we need to do it over and over like some sort of idiot.
i would do homework and turn it in, only to get marked down on it because "you didn't do it the correct way" even though i had the answers right, so i said fuck it. i ended up doing only the tests, and still fucking passed. thank god that retardation didn't happen the following year.
Yeah, this is true.
I'm just saying that under certain circumstances this is a bad thing. I had surgery that prevented me from coming to the last 2 months of school. I tried as hard as a could to get my homework made up with a tutor, but my english teacher still failed me, even though i could pass a class like that with my eyes closed. If the kid is lazy then he obviously has to stop being a whiney bitch

Why should I spend 5 hours a night doing your shitty "busy work" homework when I could be doing something worthwhile with my life?
Fuck homework, everything I've ever learned I've learned in the classroom, homework taught me absolutely nothing.
