Brain cancer has a wide variety of symptoms including seizures, sleepiness, confusion, and behavioral changes. Not all brain tumors are cancerous, and benign tumors can result in similar symptoms.

How can parents help a teen with ADHD?
ADHD affects all aspects of a teenager's life -- from relationships with family and peers, to motivation and productivity, to overall self-confidence. Therefore, a parent's first goal should be to talk openly with the teen and be supportive and accepting at all times. Parents can do the following to help teens self-manage their symptoms of ADHD:
* Provide clear, consistent expectations, directions, and limits.
* Maintain a daily schedule and keep distractions to a minimum.
* Find activities where the teen can experience personal success (sports, hobbies, music lessons, for example).
* Build the teen's self-esteem by affirming positive behavior.
* Set up an effective discipline system and respond to misbehavior with time out or loss of privileges.
* Help the teen with scheduling and organization.
* Keep a structured routine for the family with the same wake-up time, mealtime, and bedtime.
* Set up a reminder system at home to help the teen stay on schedule and remember projects that are due.
* Work with the teen's teachers to make sure the teen is on task at school.
* Stay calm when disciplining the teen.
