soooo 12-year old boy goes missing in North Carolina. Hes missing for 3 days in the wilderness with near freezing temperatures and you know what the parents are conserned about?? He doesnt have his medicine for his attention deficit disorder......im serious....check out this quote. its from http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/03/20/missing.scout/index.html
Before reports surfaced that Michael had been found, Kent Auberry said he was concerned, but not overly worried that his son, who's been diagnosed with attention deficit disorder, does not have his medication with him.
"Michael has gone camping without his medication" in the past, Auberry said. "It's something he takes to help him primarily during school hours."
He said, "It's as worrisome to us as if he left his coat," but "we'd like him to have medication to help him focus."
seriously whats wrong with this world that we have to over medicate our kids to help them focus. lets just turn them into robots. for those in college or work, are you ALWAYS focused?? I have meetings every monday and wednesday yet i have a hard time every week paying attention. I think i must have adult ADD. TIME TO MEDICATE!!!!
I CANT BELIEVE HIS PARENTS WOULD COMPARE ADD MEDICINE TO A COAT!!!! seriously its like a fat kid on diet pills...."we dont know what she will do without her fat pills??!!!!"
and what, is he not going to be able to focus when a bear is trying to talk to him out in the woods?!?!?!!!
we are addicted to pills in this country. pills to make you skinny. pills to help you gain weight. pills to control your attention. pills to make you sleep. pills to make you awake. have we got too pill happy? man this makes me mad!!!
