Ritalin = kiddy coke.
Just another way to drug our children and increase the pharmaceutical industries profits in the process.
Here's a novel idea, why don't parents cut out all the chemical additives they feed their children on a daily basis and cure ADHD themselves.
It's lazy-parenting, Lxxx, and kids having kids. Self-perpetuating, wilful-ignorance and lack of 'life-skills'.
Spot on, it's not just lazy parenting it's responsibility-less living. By giving away responsibility for your children's health to the state, and letting them diagnose and medicate your children accordingly, you're subjecting your child to the same brain dead way of life you lead.
Or you could use a bit of common sense, see that all children have some form of ADHD of some description (years ago it was just called boredom), cut out all the chemical crap and E numbers you feed them and try and be an actual parent again and stick two fingers up to the pharmaceutical/nanny state mafia.
