What Are The Symptoms Of ADHD?

I am a 13 year old girl and I think I might have ADHD. I have researched the symptoms and I match a lot of them. My mind starts wandering in class, even if I try to concentrate, I have trouble getting to sleep at night, I act a bit crazy and hyper in front of peers to get noticed, I interrupt people when they're talking when I don't mean to, my room gets very messy and I frequently forget what my parents tell me to do. I have really bad moods before my period, I get easily distracted and my parents tell me I overreact a lot. I also feel different to other girls my age and I find it really hard to be organised. I'm scared to tell my parents in case they think I'm lying. For example, after a few years of telling my parents I had difficulty seeing the TV, clocks on the wall, whiteboards at school etc, they finally took me to the opticians and we found out I needed glasses. They hadn't taken me sooner because they thought I was lying and I wanted attention.
