Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. I can summarize four words into one: bullshit. Some figures state that 20% of the population is diagnosed with ADD/ADHD. That would mean that one in every five people you meet is paying a lot of money for something that is only going to cause a negative for them--unnecessary drugs. This "disorder" is a fraud, and people need to know it.

All the time, I hear about people having ADHD. It makes me sick, because I know how they got this "disorder." It is most likely that they either:

1. Spent too much time inside doing nothing, got hyper and did something dumb because they’ve been kept inside for too long. So their parents think it must be some disorder and take them to a psychologist. Why would a psychologist not say that a child has ADHD? IT’S MAKING HIM/HER MONEY. Have you ever said, "No, I don’t want money?" If you have, you’re just a moron. The doctors aren’t morons.
2. Went to school and screwed around a bit. The teacher sent the kid to the counselor or something, who said that they have ADHD. In some cases, a school has threatened parents with negligence (what the hell?) lawsuits if they don’t comply with their kids taking Ritalin or the like. Apparently the “negligence” comes from not wanting to crack your kids up with Ritalin. But the school thinks otherwise and would say that you are hindering your child’s educational needs by keeping them in this "hyper" state.

I hate that ADHD can be an excuse for bad parenting. Some kid doesn’t know how to act and starts being a big dumbass. All his parents have to do is say, "Oh, yeah, he’s got ADD." That is ridiculous and pathetic. Hey parents: if your kid starts being a dumbass, try a little discipline. (Yes, some of the methods on that link are extreme, keep in mind that the extreme ones are a joke and that most of the article is sensible and true). Your kid may whine and complain, but he or she will soon shape up when they realize they can’t do whatever the hell they want. And, it will save you money plus keep your kids off of unneeded drugs that are going to harm them. Kids have died from taking Ritalin for too long.

It’s a natural function of human beings to get bored once in a while! People say that their kids are too hyper in school and aren’t interested in it as much as other kids are. Has it ever occurred to these people that not everyone is interested in math, science, and English? If you sat me down at a tea party for 8 hours a day, I would have ADHD too. Not everyone is interested in the same things. People are going to get bored with certain things. This is NATURAL, not a DISORDER.
