I think your mom is right. You probably haven't had anyone teach you to focus, concentrate and keep your mind on task. With the TV blasting, ipods, radios, internet, texting, cell phones, etc- it's no wonder people can't concentrate! Try taking martial arts or doing something like tai chi to settle your mind.

I think you're just bored and lazy.
ADD is ridiculously over diagnosed. Doctors, teachers and parents are jumping at the chance to shut kids up with ADD drugs.
If you have ADD (and not just an excuse to give you ritalin) you would have trouble sleeping, coffee would put you to sleep and alcohol would keep you awake, you would have a hard time sitting still, you would have a hard time concentrating on things like driving, hard work and hard studying would be stimulating and keep your attention, actually most people with ADD are workaholics.
If you are having trouble concentrating in class but can sit through an entire 30 minute tv show, you do not have ADD.

I have a nephew who has ADD and the symptoms you described are nothing close to ADD. People who have ADD aren't just easily bored and really lazy. They get distracted easily and have a hard time focusing on 1 subject. Also most of them are extremely hyper. Sounds to me like you and your friend are just lazy!!!

Most people who are told that they have ADD actually don't. It's a side-effect of always having video games, iPods, et cetera. Do some tai chi, or force yourself to just sit on your bed with no music or TV and think.

Im 28 & I just found out that I have ADD. Google it. There are a lot of Websites that have ADD tests. That's how I figured out I have it. I then went to a Doctor who confirmed it.

you think you have ADD? I think if you are able to play a video game for more than 20 minutes you dont. my frined is prescribed medication for ADD and he can do a lot of stuff that an ADD person could not do

no, i don't think that is ADD. people who have ADD don't easily get bored, they can't hold still. you just get bored quickly so maybe you should work on your patience skills and thinking positively.
if it really bothers you, go get it checked out.
