I just did terrible this quarter I scored a 2.5 gpa and I got moslty C's and D's not fun and also its my junior year im pressured to apply to colleges. I really dont care anymore I find high school so boring and full of people that I dont want to be around. I have to say that I like my teachers I always have. Its just the fact of being in school I feel so stupid and wierd everyday its not fun.
We fellow ADHDers who stuck it out have gone down this path before you. It can be done and it leads to opportunities that you won't be able to get any other way.
My advice, stick it out and do the best you can. Once you have the diploma and take a break.

Hey genral!
I had a fairly similar experience in high school. Your education is worth sticking out. Do what it takes to get it done.
I hated high school, but college was a whole different experience. I disliked high school so much that I did post secondary education my senior year by going to college part time and high school part time. It helped me deal w/ high school. Maybe that's an option for you?
College is a great thing, but if you need a break between high school and college, then take the break.
What are you doing for ADHD treatment?

I just did terrible this quarter I scored a 2.5 gpa and I got moslty C's and D's not fun and also its my junior year im pressured to apply to colleges. I really dont care anymore I find high school so boring and full of people that I dont want to be around. I have to say that I like my teachers I always have. Its just the fact of being in school I feel so stupid and wierd everyday its not fun.I know how you feel... I go through it too. Only I'm a freshman, and not going through as much pressure as you.
Are you on any medications? I'm on prozac right now, and it helps the anxiety part, but my ADD symptoms are still in my everyday life (like right now I'm supposed to be doing homework, but my computer distracted me :p). I tried Adderal, but I had VERY bad side effects. If you don't have a medication, it might help out.
If you are on a med but still doesn't help, maybe you need to see a therapist. When I go, my therapist helps me out with a lot of my problems that I can't just ask my parents willy-nilly. Ask your parents about seeing one, especially one who specializes in ADD. Because when I talk to my parents about these problems, I don't know about your parents, but mine just don't have a clue...
If both these ideas don't work, well, I'm not exactly sure what to tell you. Then again, I don't have a lot of experiance or knowladge :o
I hope you overcome your problems soon; just remember to always keep your head high.
