I was half tempted to be a party pooper, but instead I'll just welcome the person who enabled me to be invested in another person's love life quite similar to my own(though not as invested as some others) So, welcome @DoomslugLuna. Will we be seeing you on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints thread? I think Doomie/Calano said something to imply you are a member.

Also, to @The Wandering Wizard, can two people really be shipped if they are already in a relationship with each other? I don't get how that would work.

how do i tell my parents to let me get checked out for ADHD????
I'm fairly certain I have it, and I've brought it up to them three times and they've said, and I quote,
"Oh, we got you checked out when you were five, you didn't have it then, why would you have it now?"
gee i dunno, because maybe that's kind of how it works????
help.

Well... I'm a random passerby, so feel free to take or leave my thought. I'm including @Szeth's Facepalm on this. I can tell you what it took friends and family to convince an insurance company that they needed the expensive medication and not the off-brand.
Basically it comes down to documenting how, where, and when your condition affects your ability to function in essential daily tasks. It can be at school, work, home, social interactions, or commonly occurring situations. The more specific you can be, the better, though I'd recommend against attributing your difficulties to a specific mental disorder. Really, you just need to prove that you're taking this seriously and that something isn't right. Gather evidence that you need help and even if your parents or your primary care phycisian don't check for ADHD specifically, hopefully you'll get a diagnosis. Self-examination and documentation may be part of the diagnosis process anyway. In the end, let the professional convince your parents of your condition, that's their job, not yours.
Unfortunately, if you do end up needing medication for ADHD, you might have to get used to documenting exactly how difficult your life is without the right help. My wife has depression and she's told me about how miserable it was to have to try a bunch of different medications because the insurance company didn't want to have to spend as much on the name brand, and she had to document exactly how her life got worse during the weeks that she tried each medication until they knew that only the expensive one worked. It was worth it in the end because she could function, but it was rough getting there.
Good luck, it's hard when people don't think you need help even when you ask for it.
