Ya, i have the same problem but not that bad and my dad doesn't beat me. ADHD has nothing to do with it. i don't have it but i've never been tested and a lot of people told me i should be. you want attention because deep down you want love. you arn't getting enough from your family and your insecure about trusting friends because you fake so much your not sure if there friends with the true you or who you fake being. I'm the middle of 5 kids i never got a lot of attention at home and i acted stupid to get it. most likely your fairly smart. so start learning be fun and entertaining but get your attention from knowing things. instead of not knowing things. and a therapist might actually be a good idea if your dad beat you when you were little if he still does f^cking get some help and go live with your aunt and uncle or something. your teacher or school councilor can help you with getting help, and even if you don't need it its better to be safe then crazy. good luck Health Question & Answer
Honestly,some of your behavior may be associated w/ ADHD. People are different with different personalities and people with one diagnosed mental illness or disorder are more likely to have others. This might be the beginning presentation of many different emotional or psychological problems, but it could very well be a product of your environment. You can not possibly understand at the age of 14 how much your relationship with your parents affects you as a person. I do suggest you share your concerns and frustrations with your doctor, counselor or someone and I am sure they will do all they can to try and help you. You may not feel comfortable at first, but all you tell them, besides anything that can cause danger to yourself or others, is confidential. Trust that you are not alone.Health Question & Answer
physical abuse needs reporting right away .life will change though I think it's just the age you are and the things in life that you're facing that's making you this way I think the next few years you'll turn into a different person. you can see your own faults which is good concentrate on being a friend rather than looking for sympathy. good luck but do something about this abuse noone should suffer that.Health Question & Answer
sorry but yes you should seek medical advice...it sounds like you have a lot of troubles rushing through your head. i think that talkng to someone would help.
And if the final part of your message is true, and only you can answer that. then you need to tell some one who can help you, a friend, a teacher, because you should not have to deal with such discusting and disturbed actions, let alone from your father.
please take care and seek the help you need xxHealth Question & Answer

Many people with ADHD constantly act out to get attention. It is also possible you have a less severe form of Autism. Being physically abused may trigger some actions as a subconscious cry for help, but it would help if you specified how you were abused.Health Question & Answer
The only one that will be able to make an accurate diagnosis will be a psychiatrist. Since I'm not a doctor, there's no way for me to give you valid diagnosis.

You do need help, first you need to talk to some one such as a school counselor, Mom, friends and tell them what your Dad has been doing to you. Then I'm sure that will tell why you crave attention. Your Dad should be ashamed of himself and suffer the consequences. I wish you all the best.Health Question & Answer
Just my opinion but..................the ADHD is understandable and treatible but ANY abuse by anyone is neither understandable nor should you tolerate it. Abuse can cause horrible damage to your body and your mind. Please get help. A relative, a teacher, a friend. Please Please

First of all, not even a psychologist or a psychiatrist would diagnose you with this short description of attention seeking behavior. But there is a personality disorder CHARACTERIZED by attention seeking behavior. Ill attach a little decription of histrionic personality disorder, but this by no means is a diagnosis.
Diagnostic Features:
Histrionic Personality Disorder is a condition characterized by excessive emotionality and attention-seeking. This disorder is only diagnosed when these behaviors become persistent and very disabling or distressing.
Complications:
Individuals with this disorder may have difficulty achieving emotional intimacy in romantic relationships. Without being aware of it, they often act out a role (e.g., "victim" or "princess"). They may seek to control their partner through emotional manipulation or seductiveness on one level, whereas displaying a marked dependency on them at another level. Individuals with this disorder often have impaired relationships with same-sex friends because of their sexually provocative behavior or their demands for constant attention. They crave novelty, stimulation, and excitement and have a tendency to become bored with their usual routine. Although they often initiate a job or project with great enthusiasm, their interest may lag quickly. The actual risk of suicide is not known, but individuals with this disorder are at increased risk for suicidal gestures and threats to get attention and coerce better care giving.
