Am I anti social,ADD, depressed or all?

Question:

I don't like people my own age. I find myself disliking my fellow class mates and peers. Everyone is just stupid. No one talks about anything logical or worth talking about. I have friends but I don't really hang out after school. I can't really talk to to many people because I find everyone to just be ignorant. I'd rather have a conversation with my teachers than with my class mates. I hate going to crowded places. I go to wal-mart with my mom then get mad because there's too many people. I don't like people looking at me, and i hate standing in the lunch line at school. Adults are the only people I can really talk to. Also I'm really smart but I get bad grades in school. I can't get focused on homework and class work. I just sit there and think about stuff. I don't think I have ADD because only certain things I can't remebr and focuse on. My dad might tell me something they 5 minutes later I'll forget. I think I might be depressed or something. I'm not sure. I'm not goth or anything.

Answers:
ok, avoiding psychobabble or jargon, i would say you sound like a normal, bright, teenager.
i think what you need to remember is that you're going through a transition, from child to adult - this is not easy, smooth, or uniform, people cope with it in different ways- my brother for instance doesnt seem to have ever grown up, whereas i was much like yourself.
i feel it is ok to say that there are a lot of idiots out there, and the fact that you dont gel with everyone is less a sign that you hate people in general and more a sign that you are choosey, that you expect more from your fellow human being than just the usual run of the mill traits.
in short, what im saying is, don't be too hard on yourself, take it easy, and in time you will definately find your kind of people. if youre creative at all, have an imagination, or an engaged mind, and/or you live in a small town where not much happens that youre into, its easy to feel isolated from the 'world' you inhabit, but remember that the world is a big place and you can do lots of things and go lots of places, do not be limited by your immediate surroundings and do not let little things get you down - REMEMBER - youre working towards a bigger picture.
are you depressed? what teenager isnt, its a very difficult time and it is mainly about just getting through it intact, however i would say the trick is to turn negatives into positives and to try and enjoy yourself during what is , although tricky, an amazing time in your life you will remember these days as being pivotal to your whole existence when you look back later in life.
it does get much easier, you find your place, dont worry about that.
about turning negatives into positives - geeky is cool etc, most of the succesfull people in the world were outcast in their formative years, and most of the people who did well at school get dead end jobs and lead the most uninteresting lives when they leave school.
don't compromise, you are who you are, learn to come to terms with that and enjoy it. watch great films, listen to bill hicks and powerful music, youre ok, youre getting there and you're fine.

Sounds like you have Avoidant Personality Disorder. Not a huge deal - I have a little of it, too. :)

Highly intelligent people are often a little different. It's hard to always be thinking of things that don't occur to other people.

Well, I'm not really sure about some of this. I have ADHD, and I definitly can't concerntate. I sometimes feel like everybody else is stupid, because I am smart as well. You just have to realize that just becuase you are really smart, everybody else isn't stupid. You are gifted to be smart, everybody else isn't stupid. You may be anti-socail, but it doen't seem bad enough to be a disorder. You may have ADD, but people online can't diagnose you, just talk to a doctor who can actually diagnose you by talking to you.
