Boards Archive] |
Welcome to the Vault Network
forum archive.
This is not a complete archive, time didn't allot us the
opportunity to properly backup the majority of the boards
deemed "expendable". Most boards on this list have at least
20-40 pages archived (non-logged in pages, 15 topics per
page).
Popular boards may have as many as 250 pages archived at 50
topics per page, while others deemed of historical
signifigance may be archived in their entirety.
We may not agree with how the board shutdown was managed, but
we've done what we could to preserve some of its history in
lieu of that.
Please enjoy the archive.

Every time I need to read a book for class...ugh, I just can't do it. Books are so archaic, I just use the internet to look up all info. What do books know that Google doesn't?

I don't like studying. I'm like George Costanza. If it's not about sports or history, I don't care.
The worst are math books, oh my God. I don't think I've ever read a math book in my life. Has anyone here actually read one of those and managed to understand anything in it?

the internet knows that too. Wikipedia knows that. Everyone always scoffs at Wikipedia but you know what? Wikipedia knows a lot. And it even cites its sources at the bottom.

Not being able to keep focused on tasks like reading is a symptom of ADD/ADHD, but unless it manifests in multiple spheres of your life (with friends, at school, at work, etc) and in other ways it's safe to say you just don't like studying. If you can, without much difficulty, read the books you do like (like history or sports) then don't fret. You just lack discipline... or do fret. Or just study.

Most math books are written poorly but they are still useful tools. You just have to listen in class so you have an idea what you are going into.

many kids with ADHD are able to do some tasks for hours and hours, like playing video games or reading for pleasure.

Being diagnosed with ADD is awesome. The meds suck though.

I know, I have and am medicated for ADHD-inattentive type and can do what some psychologists call 'hyper-focus' on certain tasks--but this is more that I will stick with them despite the distractions. Everyone has inattentiveness, obsessiveness, borderline moments, etc. ADHD, as a abnormal psychology, is not just a quirk but a constellation of related symptoms. That's why the DSM-IV says there need to be persistent signs of at least six symptoms in two spheres of life to be ADHD. It's not like we stare at a wall all day letting our minds careen through our knowledge of life the universe and everything. Hyperactivity types can definitely sit down and play World of Warcraft for 12 hours, but if you look at their feet or something they never stop shaking. We inattentive types will read something we love like Game of Thrones for hours too, despite the fact that nearly every page we were chasing some flight of thought before coming back to it.

Well if your not trolling (sorry I don't know you), your educational institution should have like a student health and counseling service you can look into getting tested. It's even fun; they have you play with legos and stuff. It's usually free but just takes awhile to get in at big universities. Even if you don't need the medication they will often give you accommodations like extra advising, note-takers, longer testing times in a private room, extensions on reading homework, etc. And they and future employers can't hold it against you because its against the law to do so.
