I have ADD, and My parents won’t get me medication because they think that my doing bad in school has no link to the disorder, and I should just be slightly more fidgety, but the bottom line is I am just passing two classes, I go in for extra help, I do all my homework, but I just can’t pay attention in class, and I forget lots of things like turning in homework. I try so hard, I’m afraid my teachers don’t see it. Is there any way I can do more than just barely pass classes?

Make sure you are communicating with your teachers.  Tell them your concerns, how you’re trying hard, but that it is difficult to focus sometimes.  They might have some strategies to help you, or even accommodate your needs in their teaching.  Keep working hard and show them that you’re dedicated.  You can do it!
