Do i have ADHD and what should i do about it if i do? Please Help me..?

i have adhd and if it is affecting your grades then you should get tested professionally. in boys it usually shows up when you are younger. try telling your parents it wont hurt and if they arent any help see if you school has "academic service". my school has this but its a private school im not sure if u go to private or public and either way they may not have this. basically students that get poorer grades than whats normal are referred to teachers at my school who can almost tutor you, they help with learning strategies and can help communicate with your teachers. it may be rare that a school does this but i have no idea. your school will most likely have at least one teacher who is informed/educated about learning disabilities. you should find a teacher who is and tell them that you are concerned you have adhd ask them what they think and if they think you should be tested ask them to tell your parents, it would be better if this is a teacher who has taught you or knows you well. testing results can take a while to get and it also takes a while to find what works for you learning wise. medication is also a good way to help with adhd but it can take some time to find one that works for you. you wont have any results in 2 weeks and if you do you most likely wont have time to drastically change your attention problems. my advice is try to reward yourself with something for when you study. for instance give your parents your cell phone and tell them to only give it back once you have finished studying. and even though getting tested wont help in 2 weeks it could drastically help you in the long run. also after you are tested you should go over your results a lot with the person who tested you and you can learn your strengths and weaknesses. hope i helped but you shouldnt be worried if your grades arent bad.
