[More on ADHD

[Guest guest]

My feeling about this is so- the drugs help poeple to conform to society-

from Ds and Fs to As and Bs- exactly! That is precisely what they are for-

so people can keep on keeping on with the system as it is. Perhaps the

children who " need " these drugs to " perform " in scool, sit still, get

going, whatever- are not doing what they need to be doing in life. Instead

of sitting in a classroom, perhaps they would be better off working in a

garden, taking care of animals, doing some sort of community service. I

think the real issue here is the fact that something at the core is not

working for the individual. We have come so far from what humans are

supposed to be doing, in my opinion. We were not made to sit at desks and be

locked up in offices all day. We were made to grow and build things, to care

for the earth and others...but again, just my opinion :-)
