Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder commonly diagnosed in childhood and adolescence, characterized by persistent patterns of inattention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity. Adolescents with ADHD often experience significant challenges in both social and academic settings, which can impact their overall development. This article explores the various ways in which ADHD influences adolescents' social interactions and academic performance. Through an examination of relevant literature and analysis of research findings, the paper highlights the unique difficulties faced by these individuals and proposes potential interventions to mitigate the negative effects on their lives.
