Wow you have ADHD so does my sister Molly!  Any way sorry about your math grade.  Mine isn't so good either.  It's a B!  Oh well!

Oh, c'mon, that's nothing to get worked up about, certainly not a failing grade. It's only October, after all, plenty of time to bring it up. :)

Don't worry about it. Like Mary said, you have plenty of time to bring it back up. :)

Talk to your teacher about what you can do to help bring your grade up, or why it's so low. Maybe you need to do better on homework, or maybe there's some extra credit you can do.

I'm so sorry Coco. But compared to my math grades that's actually not so bad. Sorry if that isn't helping. What are you struggling with in math? I'm REALLY not good at decimals.

*winces* Ouch. That is sad.... Then again, if you really work hard at it, ask your teacher if you can do something for extra credit, study more, put more effort into your homework, I'm sure you can bring it up. What math are you doing? What are you struggling with? I may be able to give you pointers, things that made sense to my head.

I'm sure it has nothing to do with your ADHD, and it has nothing to do with you being 'stupid' or anything. All you need to do is try harder, even if you've been trying enourmously hard, just try harder! You are capable of getting an A+, actually, it's just how much you want to work for it. Everyone is capable of doing anything that is physicall possible. Like, for example, I'm not the best at art, but I am capable of being better than the best of artists. It's just how much you want to do.

That's too bad. I have another friend who has ADHD, although they don't consider him to have it anymore! He did the Dore program (which was discontinued). He was on TV about it. Before he did the program, he was sent to the principal's office at least once a week, I think. And he has never been on the drugs! Don't worry. I usually get a C+ in math, and I'm lucky if I get a B. I don't apply myself.

Thanks, guys! Now I am happier. :) We just started decimals in math. Ugh. It goes in one ear and out the other. I am too focused on my cousins coming for Thanksgiving.
