ADHD in Girls

  Signs of ADHD in girls

Daily Battles

Girls with ADHD usually turn their pain and anger inward. This puts girls at an increased risk for depression, anxiety, and eating disorders. Girls with undiagnosed ADHD are also more likely to have problems in school, social settings, and personal relationships than other girls. If a girl is hyperactive, she might be described as a "tomboy" because she likes physical activity and doesn’t seem to enjoy the "typical things" a girl her age does. She might also be in motion in less obvious ways, perhaps doodling constantly or moving around in her chair. Knowing what a girl with ADHD goes through on a daily basis to try and keep under control  is exhausting. I should know I go through these daily and I want others to know their not alone in these daily battles.

ADHD

    ADHD Emotion      ADHD is tough to live with but not impossible.  The ADHD brain feels emotions to the extreme. Worry becomes crippling anxiety in a blink. Frustration triggers red hot anger. The medication the doctors put you on is horrible and I want to tell every parent to never put there child on it. It gets rid of your Childs emotions and feelings so there just a zombie walking around going with the motion of the crowd. Then once they get off the pill it's like a tsunami of emotions and feelings they have never felt and don't have experience with, what a child learns from a young age is what ADHD teens and adults try to learn once they get off the medication. Sometimes it's to much to handle so we become closed off from the world and seem heartless but we just don't want to go through all those emotions that we have never felt before.   Everyone Needs To Know

Why is it a Problem

  They Are Just Kids      The lack of education can cause a lot of problems sure you can get by but how good of a life do you truly want and desire.  The  poverty  trap involves the inability to escape  poverty  due to a lack of resources. This can also lead to an intergenerational  poverty   gap, meaning children of those already in the trap are more likely to be at risk as well. Education provides the ability for one to access the knowledge necessary to make a living. You want your kids to have an amazing childhood and let them enjoy themselves because they're kids. Don't force them to work because of the lack of education.  Just Listen

I want to give you all that I have, but little I have; I am only 10 weeks old.  And yet all I have is my 10 little fingers and 10 little toe's. I have my organs and my heart, and I am willing to give them all to you because  I love you. You are my mother and I know you'll keep me safe and sound, but yet I am scared.  I hear you guys yell at one another about what,  I do not know?  Then I hear "it's final; it's tomorrow.  Final what? Tomorrow what? I felt my mother tense and I heard her sob all night, but yet I slept good. My dad said "Get up sweet heart it's time to go.". We're at the doctors but, why?  We had a check up last week. ...
