Q: struggling with talent

Im 16 years old in high school and Im struggling with creative talent and since ADHD can have a person have creative interests and skills, why would a teen want to drop out of high school? I been having ADHD through out my life and I have entertainment skills and talents that make me feel different. How can I feel normal with that? Why do I feel so trapped and suffocated in school without expressing myself? Is there any school that kids could go to for having ADHD?

Sweetie, its all how you look at things. Understanding the world and how it works can greatly aid your creativity. Many geniuses have endured the torture of school with terrible grades and went on to be famous, but only after they grew old. Your talents have to come with a goal. Find a goal and shoot for it. Grades don't determine intelligence, intelligence is knowing that anything you learn brings you one step closer to understanding who you are and where you came from. We all survive high school. But what will you take from it. Don't let  the time pass you by, pass your time doing what you love. You are in so many ways lucky to see things that others will never even notice. Take your gift and use it.
