ADD

Contrary to popular belief, it is not just a lame excuse for misbehaving children. While it is sometimes labeled as so by people who don't know what they are talking about, it is an actual disorder that has more effects besides misbehavior, including difficulty concentrating and restlessness, and should not be discounted amongst cynics with nothing better to do than whine on the internet.

I am a 16-year-old with ADHD that really does have difficulty concentrating who takes medication that does actually help, and is not called ritilin.
