don't know where else to turn?

I am about to give up. I have been out of school for 7 years. I have started school again and have not seen much stay in my brain. It probally isn't a good idea because I get many beinfits upgrading in school like usuing the gym which is good for my mind and body. using the clinic in the school which i get my meds. Discounts in thing etc.. etc.. but I feel I have hit a road that I don't know how to pass as I have tried two tests and have failed. One due to not enough time and the teacher will not alow enough time for me and I have so much things i juggle that i have only like 4 hours of time in school to do my things. Alot of things I noticed got worse in my life from having ADHD my symtoms got worse which is a combiniation of things I don't use on a regular basis and gained bad habits that I don;t know how to get out of now. I feel like I have become a statistic. I do bad in jobs, have few friends, feel I don't do well in social situations one due to slow mind processing. my memory and working memory for that fact is crap. I have done many tips in reguards to my symptoms of ADHD but they do not seem to work even trying them on a regular basis. And lastley becomming a statistic cause many ADHD people tend to drop out of school. So with things going feels like my life is Almost crap. I have looked for help everywhere as my last resort. I don't know what else I could DO. Anywho I just wanted to get that out there and hope that somebody could help bring my spirits up or have something that worked for them or something or you can just listen. I have also paid out money on software programs meditation and medication and don't seem to have long term effects.

Update:

I feel I have issues. #1, i try not to go to my best educated teacher cause she smokes lots of cigarettes a day that i can smell it when i am near her like she smoked in the class. I go to tutors which is more of a pain. I would like also to talk to her. I will do that instead of procrastinating, no matter how it comes out I will at least say I tried.

    first of all don't give up, don't dout yourself. second in class sit in the front row or down the center. Front row center is the best, give your opinions in class and ask questions... you can do anything, sticking with it and showing you care makes a big difference. Talk to your teachers tell them you have problems but you want to be secessful. They will work with you and fyi, teathers want students to get good grades, it make them look good. Third find the way you learn, maybe you should watch youtube or other videos on the subject to make it more clear or make a friend in your class and ask to study w/them... you can do this, you can =) best of luck you are smart

    oh and summer is harder and faster, fall with be easier
