Are all moms like this?

Tell her you'll have to go and talk to someone in child care if she doesnt let you take meds. You need them, and she has NO right to stop you from taking them. Write a letter telling her she seriiously needs to get help to come to terms with you having ADHD (I have it, and its not the worst thing in the world) i dont see why she cant just accept it.

I'm really sorry you are having a hard time of it with your mum,I had a hard time with my mum from a very young age and now we hardly talk.Is there nobody else in your family that you can go to for support?Maybe you should try talking to your mum about your sleep pattern because it obviously needs addressing and it could be a case of just trying to adjust it.

I really hope things get better soon,I would hate it if you ended up like me and my mum.

I'm 14. The reason she got all mad is because one of my teachers called and said I was disrupting class by sleeping which is completely irrtional and impossible by anyone who has any sense of logic. All I do is sleep I don't bug anyone. Really she is disrupting class by taking the time out to wake me up knowing full well I won't take notes.When I explained to the teacher that I have insomnia and can't sleep she said the same damn thing my mom said. Why don't you rerad a book. I told her that because I had a B in her class that I wasn't gpoing to take notes because I already know Geometry it's extremely easy and I have a B which is good enough for me. She said she can't let me sleep which is untrue because I talked to the administrator and he saidf that if a teacher doesn't care about students sleeping there is no rule against it.
If I left for a week or two she said she would call child services and file a "out of control teenager report" I'm not sure if such a thing exists but she said they would remove me from my home. I don't want that though because as wierd and annoying and crazy my mom is I love her more than anything.

You sound like the one with issues not her. She is only trying to do what Moms do. She wants you to live up to your potential and stay on the straight and narrow. If you don't want to that is fine but you should not question a parent wanting what they think is best for you. If you are 14 and already smoking, not sleeping at night, falling asleep and not participating actively in class then that is a problem. You are disturbing other students who are trying to learn. You are wasting yours and the teachers time.
Have you gone to the Dr for a full physical lately? Perhaps you have some health issues you are not aware of.

Your mom's wack.

[del...]

do you have a school nurse you can talk with and perhaps get the ball rolling through her/him? it sounds like your mom needs convincing by a profesional before she'll realize you just need a little help falling and staying asleep a few nights/week...eh? and a prescription for something like ambien sounds like it'd work well for you as it has very little 'fun' to it (to satisfy mom's fear) but a good night's rest with no hangover for sure! i've taken them and they're perfect for short term sleep probs and soon you'll have your body timer back in sync. but 1st ya need to get a doc or other med person to explain that to mom...is that about it?

yer mothers a cunt

I definitely agree that you should get opinions from as many different professionals as you can find. Maybe a friend of the family's a doctor, or I'm sure the school nurse can get you started on finding health care professionals. Either way, after about two or three people, everyone will realize your mom is crazy, and that'll make her a lot more inclined to letting you take your medication.

If that doesn't work, there's always montel.

Yeah I was evaluated by a doctor in 3rd grade and then a few other times for adhd. And about the schizophrenia it was when I was way younger. The teacher recommended it. I don't remember much about it except that I don't have it. I'll ask my mom.

I was gonna say, schizophrenia usually doesn't show until the mid-teenage years and if you were positive I was going to suggest getting re-tested.
