hi i'm 15 and and a bad speller 
i have always struggled and now that i am doing GCSE's im really starting to worry about my English as im predicted top grades and have achieved them so far,,, but,, we are now doing a writing piece and im really worried i wont be able to get a reasonable grade with the poor quality of spelling i have.
i have talked to my mam and dad about it but there not really doing anything. my dad thinks i could be mildly dyslexic but my mam says she just thinks it because im careless.
i have found a dyslexic organisation near were i live but i'm scared to go there for a test because i think if i do i wont be dyslexic and its just because im a bad speller.
some of my main signs are:
.i am a very bad speller despite an iq of about 136 (i did it online so don't no how accurate it is)
. although i like to read i am slow and sometimes don't grasp the meaning straight away and i am bad at reading allowed
.don't no left from right,, if you ask me to go right i would have to think about it.
.very forgetful and disorganised
.i'm a bit of a day dreamer at times and find it hard to concentrate for a long time especially if there's a lot of talking involved.
.bad at following instructions
.i have to use my fingers to add and stuff or write it down despite being at a grade A in maths.
please tell me do you think im dyslexic or just a bad speller?
Thanks
