A.D.H.D
Experts are giving chrildren with A.D.H.D medication to calm them down and help them focus, but people are finding that the parents and doctors are also abusing the mediacation because they are giving it to their kids trying to get their kids to focus and get good grades. I know this because in the article it says that Dr. Anderson is saying "he calls the disorder "made up" and "an excuse" to prescribe the pills to treat what is considered the chrildrens true problem poor acedemic skills in inadequate schools." Also he is saying that he doesnt have a lot of choice because the enviroment is expensive so they must change the kids. I strongly disagree with what they are doing because as kids their focus will not be perfect and most kids are hyper so the fact they are calming them down using medication is wrong, parents and doctors should stop before the kids notice what they are doing and speak out about it.
