"The article mentioned she was on medication - I guess for depression and attention-deficit disorder"

I'd be surprised if she wasn't.

Read any tragic article about a teen -- either they did something or something was done to them. What do you find? They're on medication for something.

I completely agree.

Medication is the new babysitter for teachers and parents. My nephew is extremely smart and funny - a really special kid - but his teachers are all the time sending notes home to my sister to take him to the doctor and get him checked for this or that - the latest is his “thyroid”.

He’s a normal, active kid that gets good grades - but he likes to clown a bit in class and makes funny comments that make the other kids laugh in class.

It’s an absolute travesty that schools won’t let kids - especially boys - be normal kids anymore.
