I hate to start a war on this but, an awful lot of the cases that I see of kids on these medications are only on them for an SSI check. Not all of them, for sure. But, my small city is full of them. And the school system is broke because of all the special ed and aid it has to give all of these kids. I was shocked to find out how many of our "student athletes" were medicated. Maybe that's why the football team was 1-7 and the basketball team was 3-16.

Agreed. While I don't deny there are rare cases where drugs are necessary, I believe this stuff is being abused and I think it's criminal how the establishment is taking advantage of a so-called "crisis."
It's a win-win for them, for all the wrong reasons. I look at it as a big racket and little boys are losing out Big Time.
