i found this blog interesting although not containing the answers i am looking for i have an almost 12 y/O with adhd who is way to curious about sex, too the point he has searched it out on the internet and everything. he’s getting in trouble in school for making inappropriate comments to girls and touching in inapppropriate places ie rubbing their leg and showing unwanted attention, i am lost dazed and confused i have had a very open discussion with my child about sex and he see’s a therapist on a regular basis to deal with his impulsive behavior and we are getting nowhere. he has no friends and he is pushing the limits in everything, as a parent all i seem to be able to do is watch him self destruct..i don’t know the answers and i am not even sure what the question is or was anymore, as a parent it is very difficult to know how to help a your child with all of these confusing things in life if they won’t even tell you what is going on in their little heads, the saddest part in all of this is i know i have an intelligent funny sensitve young man in the making now how do i go about directing his energies in the right path?!?!?!?!? ahhh, the dilemmas of parenting!!!!!

I have ADHD but have never been interest in sex. I’m adult now, and would say I am asexual. Is this common with ADHD?

Most parents arenâ€™t aware of what is really going on with their teens, and they often canâ€™t talk to them about sex. How does this relate to ADD/ADHD?…

I am dealing with this now. My 13 year old boy with ADHD loves life and wants to be accepted. When he started 7th grade last year (when he was 12) he met a new girl. She was 13 and was also ADHD among other problems. She had multiple boyfriends (most in high school) and had gotten pregnant and blamed my son so as to not get her real boyfriend in trouble because he was older. My son was 12! and even though I am pretty sure his parts work, he definately was not developed enough to father a child.

Parents of ADHD children! Don’t let this happen to you! We have gone through living hell. Keep watch on your ADHD children. It does not matter if they think you are smothering them and not giving them freedom. Keeping them safe from harm until they are old enough is the most important thing in the world.

My daughter who is 13 has many of the symtoms of an adhd child impulsive , fidgety ,distractable ,etc..It has only been the last three years of middle school where things have changed so much .This year was the first year she had a boyfriend and she has only had a boyfriend since Sept . .Recently we found out through the school that she had unprotected sex with her boyfriend and thought she was pregnant.We were shocked ! She is not pregnant,thank god.She has been getting in trouble at school,since 6th grade .We’ve been trying to figure it out.Now all the pieces are coming together .She was a straight A student up until then.She was even in a talented and gitfed program.Her teacher suggested she be screened for adhd which we are in the process of .Today we found out she can’t go on her 8th grade trip because of the trouble she has gotten in to .She also missed her 7th grade trip because she had gotten two critical referrals. She has gotten 40 blue slips for getting in trouble in school in 7th and 8th gradeShe is very sad and angry about not going on this trip and it just hurts to think of all the things she is going through but right now I have to learn all I can to help her, that is what has brought me to this sight.I am more convinced then ever that she has adhd.

Well that explains a lot. i have three girls and the youngest, 13 years old, has adhd. My two older girls are very conservative and are “good” girls. I have been having problems with my daughter and her sexuality. She is not modest at all and has engaged in some activity that even her older sisters are appalled at. She is such a nice girl but, she is so sexual. I think it has a little to do with the fact that they always seem to get yelled at by everyone and this is one time when someone is being extra nice and it feels good. Very sad!

I found article about various treatment options available for struggling teens in this site. It presents every aspect of different treatment options such as advantages, disadvantages and cost of the program. This information is really helpful for parents.
