ya know, its amazing...when i was growing up, i didnt know anyone who needed ADHD medication...i think its an excuse that parents use so they dont have to properly discipline their child. If i didnt get something done, it was my fault and i got punished for it. Today, i thank my parents who took the time and responsibility to discipline me and teach me the importance of getting things done when expected... and yes, for those parents that give that medication to their children, i do have children myself...4, in fact, and all are doing just fine without being medicated
