I really get upset when we go to a Dr to get help for our children and all they want to do is push more drugs!!
What happened to this country ?
If kids misbehave ,give them a pill.
A kid actss up in class ,take a pill
We don't want kids anymore ,we want kids that look pretty,are quiet,a robot.We are all different and that is what makes the world. Leave our kids alone ,stop giving them drugs and we will all see a big difference!! I think we need to get off the pills and let kids be kids!
No wonder are kids are into drugs ,they learned at a very young (as soon as they start school) that its ok to take drugs. They don't see a Dr. at 5 or 6 ,they see a man or woman that are telling them to take drugs.
Doctors get kick backs for writing prescriptions,the drug companies are making tons of money and the ones to suffer is our children. Stop the drug use for kids and maybe they won't be users later in life.
I feel strongly on this matter. Get back to letting our kids be kids run,jump,play,use less processed foods and I feel you will see a difference. Fresh healthy food,fresh air will cure instead of ,take a pill!!

Peggy preach the pill matter I am with you 100%, I am 30 years old with 3 children ages 9 3 and 2 just found out my 2 year old is autistic I have been in doctors faces speaking my peace about giving young children pills, as I have said to them whats the effects and will they be drug users as adults ha ha they usually cant answer that question here is my story when my brother was little in grade school they diagnosed him with ADHD so the school told mom and dad to put him on Ritalin they where nervous and scared they had him on a high dose I believe it was 2 pills a day, When he reached hiss teenager years he got in to drugs bad we almost lost him to death more that ounce very scary he got so bad mom had to turn him over to authorities while in jail almost lost him again now health issues with his heart to this day he has heart problems he came in to the world dead prolapsed cord so he is a living miracle to our family he is my best friend he was at all 3 of my baby's births! I share my brothers experience with the medical field cause they have no idea of the ongoing affect its going to do to the child as the child approaches teen years then adult hood, I have seen it all with my brother its very sad and scary! Best of luck to everyone! Jennifer
