I can't focus on any of my schoolwork. I'm easily distracted by random, meaningless things. I'm homeschooled, and severely behind due to me being uninterested and can't focus. I think I have ADHD...?

The question is when the distraction symptoms started. ADHD don't just appear one day there is usually a history. Try to get a professional diagnosis and perhaps help with your school work.
