Mate has ADHD

[Fonejacker]

My friend who has ADHD went on holiday with me to tenerife right we were having a good time... Then suddenly He starts being irritable and Poking you and slaping you round the head tring to get a reaction from you... This happened now and then. alot of the time he was normal eg. when we were out for somthing to eat, And he talks the biggest Load of Bull! Anyway one night i was trying to sleep and he kept slaping me round the head, I jumped up and started squaring up to him my mother ran in XD and tried stopping me from hitting him, so i picked up his suit case and threw it out the window. it took him a hour to pick eveything up and put it neetly in his suit case, This is why i think he has OCD. Im wondering if i should continue to iggnore him or make friends with the idot? He's got me in trouble numerous time telling me to do stuff, Eg. Kicking over a KFC Box where u say your order in while some one was making a order. I regret that when i was Locked up for the night for crinimal damage and got a repromand. This was my first affence. So im wondering what i should do...

What would you do in my possition?

well really it's up to you, no one can tell you (on this forum especially) to be friends with someone, it depends if you want to be friends with them or not, what you think would be best for you.

Don't do what he tell you to do, If one of my friends told me to kick over a Bin I wouldn't no matter how much they told me to.

Perhaps it's best if your not his mate anymore, he's getting you in trouble and it's affecting your life.

It's not his fault he has ADHD "/

I don't think you should stop being friends with just because he has ADHD. I have a friend with ADHD, (who is gorgeous, funny, and everything, btw.) and he has pills to stop himself going mad. hehe. He can't keep still. He taps his hands constantly and when he hasn't taken his pills he starts being rude n stuff just to get people looking. It gets kind of embarrassing for both of us because he always feels terrible when he gets me or others into trouble.

but i love him and i wouldn't dream of stopping being friends with him because of his disorders. I wouldn't wanna change him for anything.

Hope i helped.

Ahh that's where your problem forms. If Stu didn't take his medication i would ram it down his throat.

we use to go to school togeather and we got kicked out to geather the school was for Children who have been kicked out of previous schools... He says the ritolin makes him worse, His mums left him and his dads a tottal Idiot and his brother is mean to him.

[StainCast]

The ritolin can't make him worse. It's clinically impossible! :p

It's probably just an excuse. If you respect him enough as your friend, i'm sure you'll find it in you to help him.

The first step is helping him learn to take his meds.

I dont think you should really be mean

You understand he has ADHD.

I'm sure he just wnats attention a lot of times, so if he starts poking you or something just like ask him whats up, chances are he wants to chat.

I have ADD and I've lived with it and my friends live with it too, its really nothing big, I don't take pills or anything but then again I can control it (usually)

Throwing his pack out the window was a wrong thing to do, could of just asked him to stop, and if he didnt, offer to play a game with him or something like chinese chopsticks or tic tac toe to get his mind off annoying you.

Maybe get him to go and see his GP, if his family arnt doing anything. And if you decide not to be his friend, he may feel suicidal as if your his close friend, and you don't want to be near him, no one will. One of my older friends had a problem, where you cant get up in the morning, you just phisicly cant, forgot what its called, well was my sisters friend, and he couldnt go to work, and people kept going into a mood with him, and in the end he couldnt Handle it, and commited suicidal, I advise you to help him, try and find out what could be causing it, a past memory could do this, Like been ignored at a curtain place, and if he sees this curtain place, or something to do with it, when ever he sees this, he could remember this felling he had when he was younger, and just makes him like that.

Im not sure though, we learnt something like this in Science, dont know if its ADHA, so some one tell me if its wrong, so just ignore this if its wrong :p
