I totally identify with what you said about how what happened in middle school affects you now. Sometimes I wonder if I'll every get over all of the insecurities that developed over that time.

Teachers are not allowed to suggest that a child has ADD/ADHD to the parents. They can't say, "I think your child has ADD and I think you should get them tested". Sucks, I know. They can suspect it all they want, but they can't say anything. I'm doing a paper on this subject right now actually. Lol
