Teens? First grade is full of boys on ritalin. Discusting.

That entire episode of South Park just sliced and diced the entire “give the kids some meds” mentality of our society. I was a wild kid growing up. I fidgeted and was quite active in the classroom. I am positive I would have been one of those drugged up zombies if I was born a little later. My youngest son is the same as I am and one of his teachers actually recommended that a few years ago. I let her have it with both barrels. There is a medical need sometimes for that type of medication. But, more often than not, I would say it is prescribed as an easy way out. It is damaging for a child that does not need it to get it.
