There has been some new research that shows a statistical connection between add and tonsils.  The study claimed that children who had their tonsils removed didn't have add and were less likely to be problem children.

Get the book "How to Talk so Kids Will Listen, And Listen So Kids Will Talk" for starters. You should also, by now, be well versed in A.D.D. This condition is one of the most difficult during the teen years. Children with A.D.D. have very little self control and are often impulsive and act without regard to consequences. They often cover their mistakes in judgement by lying, and will gravitate towards kids who are equally undisciplined for various reasons because they feel more comfortable with them.  They tend to have a very negative view of themselves because they know right from wrong, they just struggle with impulsive behavior and often feel out of control, they give in to quickly to negative behaviors. Depending on the level of behavior, I would strongly suggest that you consult with a behavior specialist who is trained and familiar with A.D.D. They can guide you thru the best response to your child's behaviors, recommend successful, current medications that are available, and help you to work with the problem in a constructive way so that you daughter has a bright future, instead of one she will regret.  You doctor or guidance counselor at school  may be able to help you locate someone in your area that will work with your child.  You can also check out this website, which has a wealth of information.
