natebot88 . . . go to the CADDRA site, pull off a screening questionnaire . . . do it, and then go to your doctor. Yes – you can have ADD /ADHD and get great grades in school ( I did . . . I just procrastinated the projects that bored me until I had created enough stress to kick me into overdrive and get it done. . . usually with good marks). . . .
You are 14 . . . you do not need to wait until you are in your 40″s to be diagnosed like I was last year. But you need to see a qualified , medical practitioner. . . start with you family doc, walk in doc. . . get a referral to a paediatrician / child psychiatrist.
Talk to the special ed / Learning assistant teacher at your school. Often comprehensive assessments can be done through the school district.
And talk to your parents . . . are there other members of your family who have ADD/ ADHD . . .or you could spot it a mile away even though they have not been diagnosed . . .
ENough on the website . . . get assessed.
GOod luck
