I don't believe you have ADHD, but the only way you can be sure is if you see a phyciatrist or psychologist. Just to let you know you're not crazy, fourteen is just a tough age actually any age is a tough age. The difference between someone who is insane and someone who is not is just that those feelings and thoughts they get an insane person will act on them a not insane person has the same thoughts and doesn't. I don't use the word normal because I don't believe in normal because these days nobody's normal thereby making abnormal normal, so the word makes no sense

Hi,

I see you posted a while ago but I'll reply anyway incase ur still struggling.

At first I thought what you describe sounds like aspergers, finding it funny if somone hurts there self, getting angry, not understanding other peoples feeling, not mixing with peers. But a short attention span isn't part of that. Maybe you could do a google on it? Then I thought actully adhders can sometime be like this too, through impulsiveness, boredom and short temperedness due to frustration. Many adhders feel misunderstound, as people often think they are lazy, unthinking, unmotivated or stupid but it isn't true, and that can be very frustrating and lead to depression, self-harm and wanting to hurt those around them who are misunderstanding them.

There are other things that may caurse lack of concentration and a short attention span, have you allways had this? or has it come on more reasent?

Whether you do have somthing like ADD, I do think going to a doctor with your symtoms would help as you seem to be really struggling and they can at least refer you to a counselling to talk to.

Good luck, PM if you want to talk.
