It sounds like you may have it. I don't understand why your parents wouldn't want to get you tested...expecially since your dad has it. Have any of your teachers ever said anything to them about it? Usually they notice that behavior pattern and say something. Maybe you could talk to a school counselor about it and see if they can offer you some suggestions about how to go about getting tested.

ADHD tends to run in the family so it sounds like a discussion with your doctor is in order.

talk with your parents.. if your school performance is suffering, maybe talk to a teacher or the school counsellor and ask for help in talking to your parents.
your teachers know what your performance is like, and also observe you in classes.
maybe they can help too? hugs

Sweetheart. This is your father. Let me just tell you that you HAVE NOT gotten everything that I have. Back in Nam, there was this Saigon prostitute that gave me the bugs. You know, the itchie witchies, the seafood salad..... CRABS! So, unless you've been whoring around town more than your good ol' pops, I don't think you've had EVERYTHING that I have.
See you later tonight, sugar.

well, your 17 so why not go to see your GP and then you can discuss it.
They can give you a better idea
