Funny small story about the "dear bullies" thing on your old account!
          I wrote it down and stuck it on my locker, my teacher read it and took it down, taking it to the principal. I was called in to speak to my counselor and she agreed with the paper. When I got home my mom had me read it to her and she said "write it again and put it back up because me and the counselor agree with it"
          
          Mt teacher is going to hate me :' )

That moment when your 9yo little brother calls you a "Gay Freak"

Hey guys- forgot to mention, but while I was at the doctor's, I asked about ADHD testing, because I've been suspecting for a while that I might have it or something similar, and she asked about my grades (which are average, like 80s-90s) and told me that even if I had it, she wouldn't do anything about it or give me medication (apparently its bad for you, but I haven't ever seen that, and I've done a lot of research on ADHD- I wouldn't think I had it if not), because it seemed like I was 'adjusted' to how my brain works since i got good grades (and I really haven't, and even if I did, ADHD affects WAY more than just schoolwork).
          
          If you have ADHD or know someone with it, is that true/normal?
          Just wanted to double check- I like to have multiple references for things.

@LittleApricot2 Medicine can make you sick/lose appetite/agressive/shit like that so it makes sense that she didn't want to give you medicine for it if you aren't struggling too hard with your grades. Most of the time when people give a diagnosis for ADHD they do it to give medications which is why my doctor didn't even diagnose me in the first place (according to my mom, I know for a fact it was because "yOu'Re ToO sMaRt To HaVe AdHd", something she literally said in the note that I read from her). ADHD affects a shit ton of stuff but neurotypicals unfortunately won't think you have it if you have good grades

            There are different medications and different ways Adhd can effect people, but from my experience, yes, the medicine can be slightly harmful.
            
            In my case my medicine makes me lose my appetite, which either leads to me getting sick or having a bad eating schedule.   My brother used to get sick and my sister would go into hyper focus and not sleep...So we’ve all had pretty bad experiences with the medication, but like I said, there are different kinds of medications for different people, which changes the side effects.
            
            In my opinion it’s better to find other ways to help, like music or fidget toys, just something small to keep your mind focused, it might not completely stop the fidgeting or mind wandering (if that’s what you do) but it helps me a lot so I hope it can for you too.
            
            Sorry, kinda went off on a mini rant, hope this helps!

          I am at risk for anemia and diabetes, since they both run in the family, so I had to get my blood drawn. -1000000000/10, would not recommend
