I found some of the "signs" of ADD

Symptoms of inattention:
Doesn’t pay attention to details
Makes careless mistakes
Has trouble staying focused; is easily distracted
Appears not to listen when spoken to
Has difficulty remembering things and following instructions
Has trouble staying organized, planning ahead, and finishing projects
Gets bored with a task before it’s completed
Frequently loses or misplaces homework, books, toys, or other items

Symptoms of hyperactivity:
Constantly fidgets and squirms
Often leaves his or her seat in situations where sitting quietly is expected
Moves around constantly, often runs or climbs inappropriately
Talks excessively
Has difficulty playing quietly or relaxing
Is always “on the go,” as if driven by a motor
May have a quick temper or a “short fuse”

Symptoms of impulsivity:
Acts without thinking
Blurts out answers in class without waiting to be called on or hear the whole question
Can’t wait for his or her turn in line or in games
Says the wrong thing at the wrong time
Often interrupts others
Intrudes on other people’s conversations or games
Inability to keep powerful emotions in check, resulting in angry outbursts or temper tantrums
Guesses, rather than taking time to solve a problem

Same here.
People with creative minds are the most likely to have ADD.
My friend calls it add, and when I'm distracted he says I'm adding.


So what you're saying is.....you're a typical 14 year old? I'd advise you just try to keep up with work, even if it bores you. Make a conscious effort to eliminate distractions if they are holding you back in school. Medication, in all honesty, probably won't help. All they typically prescribe are depressants to some variation, so if you don't truly have ADD, instead of being unable to sit still, you probably won't be able to stay awake. :/

Good luck, though. If you are serious of this and it is hampering your abilities to do well in school, you should probably talk to your parents, but I would advise just trying to keep organized in body and mind before doing anything you may regret.
