Okay, for my health class, I have to do a
project on adhd (attention defecit
hyperactivity disorder). Its a pretty
easy topic- theres tons of information on
it.
But I have to find a "real life" story
about it. All I have to do is find a
story online, and print it out, and hand
it in for 50pts, but I cant find one!! It
has to be about the persons struggles, how
medication helped, etc...
Can someone help me look, please!!

Alright. Im doing it right here
when jason luis aguirre was born, his dad
had high hopes for him. Being from south
america, he wished one day his first born
son would be a soccer star. His mother,
of course, just hoped for the best. She
wished he would do well in school and live
up to the best of his ability. When jason
was about 5 or 6 years old, it was finally
his chance to play soccor for "daddy".
His dad was so excited that he became a
coach. Dissapointingly, jason didn't do
well. Not only did he not do well, but
for some reason, he was not like the other
kids out on the field. He was the most
rambunctious, violent, annoying child out
there. His dad was dissapointed, but it
was ok, he loved him nonetheless. As
jason got older, he got in trouble in
school and could not pay attention. It's
then that he was diagnosed with adhd,
better known as attention deffecit
hyperactivity dissorder. They put him on
ridalin and thought all would be well.
They were wrong. Now jason had trouble
sleeping at night, and was more of a
zoombie then a child. They decided that
this ridelin was causing more damage then
good, and stopped adminsitering it. In
7th grade, jason just could not seem to
keep his attention on his teachers
inschool and failed; every class. He was
left back, and had to repeat 7th grade
again. Now jason is a junior in
highschool and though, almost fully
"grown-out" of his adhd, but it still very
present. He has many problems sleeping at
night, and still has trouble concentrating
in class. Instead of sleeping at night,
he finds himself drifting off during the
day, even in school. This has caused some
damage to his grades, but not very
significant. His family finds is
frustrating that they may have to repeat
things numerous times to him before he
will listen, or that he doesn't rembmer
anything 10 minuetes after it was said.
Will this disorder cause jason to be a
failure in life? No, but it is another
obsitcle that he has to overcome in life,
and that may be difficult.

I knew a kid who had it and they
prescribed him ridlin, but they
accidentally did it based on his older
brother's height and weight instead of
his, and he was 5 and his brother was 16,
so when he took the pill the first time,
he was sooooooooooooooooo wired that he
didn't sleep for 4-5 days, and at one
point, he smeared peanut butter on the
walls of the house and ran through the
house with a toothbrush in his mouth and
fell and it punctured the roof of his
mouth and went into his sinus cavity and
he had to have surgery :-\

Dang erin...Thats funny...But really sad
at the same time. What kind of stupid
doctor does that? You'd think they'd
notice they were giving a little kid too
much.

humorous...

I thought it would be easy to find those
stories because I used to look up personal
mental stories all the time but it's like
pulling teeth to root through all the
one's about depression.. Doesn't help
that I may have add or adhd myself (sorry,
no real story about me though) so it's
kind of hard to have it and look for it
I
thnk thats pretty funny
