Something like 10% of ALL public school students in Tennessee are on Ritalin.
I don't know whether this figure is true, but regardless...
Presumably, the percentages are similar in other states. I have trouble believing there are so many kids suddenly suffering from a disorder that wasn't even discovered until a few years ago.
Actually, it and the treatment have been around for a very long time. You are probably right that there are many cases in which the drugs are given incorrectly because it is often easier to medicate than to deal with problems by other means. However, that does not mean that it is always a bad idea to medicate. As for the long rant from the drug addict that took up the balance of your posting, Ritalin isn't prescribed for ADD in quantities that get someone "high", nor are its effects the same on such people.
This has gotten extremely long, and I wasn't planning on it. But this ritalin thing is so insidious and is so OBVIOUSLY meant to do harm that I have to write this long thing about it. The whole attention-deficit disorder is a fabrication that traitors use to pump kids full of controlled substances.
The person writing this doesn't sound exactly rational. Perry
