Paragraph 1:

ADHD stands for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. Boys are more affected by ADHD then girls. The percentage of boys increased from 6% to 11%, and girls increased form 2% to 5.5%. 4% in 2005, of the number of kids in the age group of 3 to 17 years old has risen to 11% in 2011 (Attention). For boys, sports help them lose some of their ADHD unless they have a bad performance. If the boy does good he would get rewarded. Sports help them focus on the positive and it makes them not think about being hyperactive and think about the game. On the other hand, girls will be hyper after the sport and maybe be even more hyper then before, sometimes they might be able to control it if something went bad, but if something went good then they would be jumping off the walls. The study said that ADHD tends to improve with the age can cause significant interference in s child's academics and interpersonal relations in the initial years. ADHD normally runs in families, scientists are looking at different genes to see if it would carry on the developing of the disorder (Lullo). ADHD might carry onto adulthood but there are different things about having ADHD as an adult then a kid.

Paragraph 3:

ADHD is a serious problem to those who have it, and they need to know certain things like the different kind of warning signs and symptoms. There are three main symptoms, inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Inattention is that sometimes manifests as the individual having difficulty sustaining attention, does not seem to listen to spoken instruction, has trouble following through with instruction and frequently misplacing things. The second symptom is hyperactivity, it can be described as fidgeting, excessive talking, inability to remain seated or still when this is expected, or is commonly described as "on the go." The last symptom is impulsivity, its a tendency to blurt out responses quickly, they can't wait their turn or wait in line for something (Lullo). If they don't have any of those symptoms then they must feel restless, fidgeting with their hands or feet, leaving their seat, climbing things, running around. When they are expected to sit quiet or remain silent, blurting out answers before hearing the whole question (Attention). Some things can cure ADHD but there are a lot of medication to help people calm down.

Paragraph 2:

Adults can also have ADHD. As scientist say ADHD can carry onto kids adulthood. When adults have ADHD, it may be because they dropped out of school, a bad history or something in their childhood. When adults have ADHD, they might have trouble remembering information, following directions and organizing things. ADHD can cause accidents or getting mad for no reason or it may be bipolar for an adult. 3% to 5% of school-ages children and an estimated 60% of those with maintain the disorder into adulthood. When girls have ADHD in their childhood, it will be more a chance then boys to carry on to their adulthood (ADHD). But mostly ADHD can carry on to adulthood if it wasn't treated or unattended in the childhood (Attention). Some kids who have ADHD continue to have it when they are an adult. But they might not know they have it when they are an adult ( Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). There are a lot of symptom's and warning signs to look for when you have ADHD.

Paragraph 4:

There are a lot of things with kids having ADHD. Some kids are being drugged when they shouldn't really be, but some kids are legitimately ADHD who need the medication. However, a small number of children are legitimately ADHD. These children cannot function normally without medication. If kids do take their medication for ADHD, then they would be smart in the classroom and not rude to others. But if they don't take their medication for their ADHD, then they are endanger and they would put others endanger just as well (Ahlvin). Treating ADHD might help decrease depression and anxiety. Some kids with ADHD may have a condition in which extreme mood swings go from mania to depression in a short amount of time (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). Some information are very important to others and maybe it should be important to you.

Paragraph 5:

There is a lot of information about people having ADHD. Like ADHD is a long term chronic condition. ADHD may lead to; drug abuse, failure in school, problem keeping a job, and trouble with the law. Most kids with ADHD also have at least one other developmental or behavioral problem. They may also have a psychiatric problem such as depression or have a bipolar disorder. Kids have different rates for growing up, most kids would have impulsively if they grow up too slow (Board). ADHD can affect so many aspects of a child's life, it is important to somehow gain control over these behaviors (Lullo). But most important, scientists are not sure what caused to have ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder). They think the genes are a big part in it. But the cause may be it seems to be set in motion early in life as the brain is developing (Board). ADHD is a lot to worry about and a lot of stuff to do for it, people should care about it more and pay more attention.
