I like positive, and negative attention.

[DontKnow]

It's just something I love having? Something that I apparently can't get through with. It's the only way I can make friends at school? Well, 8th grade is coming up, and I wanna start a brand new page and actually play sports with my friends. It's like I do it before I think, like I think after. And it's like killing me, I don't even know how to explain this right. Attention is something I like getting, no matter if I get in trouble or make the whole class laugh. I really want to stand out this school year, and just be me. Actually pass classes, play basketball and have a nice school year with less trouble. But, I also want to have my same friends, I just need some tips to help me. I suffer from Bi-Polar, and ADHD so I'm very emotional.

All attention is good attention. At least someone knows you exist.

At the risk of sounding like a shrink here...
Maybe the reason you crave any and all attention is because you had insufficient or inappropriate attention as a child. If you want to stop being so impulsive and focus more on "good" attention, perhaps you need to make peace with your past.

Put yourself forward, be friendly, smile, talk. You've seen it done a thousand times before. You can become good friends with people. Good luck.

Try your hardest to just focus on good attention. It's like honey and can draw people in, of course there's always going to be the few that dislike you regardless.

Negative attention could back-fire on you. It may get to the point that barely any one will want to be associated with you and all you can do to get anyone to look towards you is act out for negative attention.
