Guest Fiasco Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by James [/i] [B][color=#707875]One thing I will say...is that it's a shame so many kids are on ADD medication -- many don't need it. It's funny how people blamed the Columbine shooters' killings on Doom, when both kids were heavily into ADD-based medication (read: mind altering medication that might have been wrong for their condition). [/color] [/B][/QUOTE] Just to answer this, I've heard one better, people thinks that they got it from Matrix with the coats and glasses, that or Grand Theft Auto. But back to topic. I'm [b]PROBABLY[/b] going to be yelled at, but hey, I'll say what I like. I personally think ADD and ADHD is fake, a lie, a cop out for those who don't have control to NOT EAT anything sugary. I bet you MONEY, CASH, that if they don't eat sugar, they will be normal. Did they have ADD or ADHD back when all our grandparents were kids? No, they didn't. Obviously not, or else there would be an even greater medication to help it if you believe its really. Know what all these ADD and ADHD kids need? A good ***-kicking, I bet you they'd calm down. Just give em a few smacks and they will calm down and be fine, cut the crap about it. It's fake, not real, cut their sugar intake and then if they don't stop, give em a nice smack everytime they don't calm down, they will calm down REAL quick if you hit them firmly but not aggresive.

Harry Posted July 27, 2003 Share Posted July 27, 2003 [QUOTE][i]Originally posted by Double_B_Daigo [/i] [B]That could be a little offensive too some people *cough*Dumb@$$*cough*. There are quite a few people who have it and the percentage of people who have it in the army are great. Me and my Pops have it and we don't have too pay for it because of free medical and dental. [/B][/QUOTE] Please. Probably 80% of the cases I've seen could be solved with a spanking, or just flat out teling the kids not to do it. If you want to take down watered down speed because you just don't have the will power to sit down for more than 10 minutes, go ahead. Sure there are some kids that really need it (my brothers friend for one is literally incapable of staying in a chair for more than 5 minutes without it) but more than a good portion are just given it because their parents are too lazy to lay down the law.

Zen Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Oh, beleive me, they have tried that. I just have a short attention span and they thought it was ADD. So i use that as an excuse, but the stuff actually works. ADD kids aren't hyper like ADHD, but they have short attention spans and memory spans. Like, i'll flunk a test because i can't remeber the formula for area of a triangle or other complicated math problems. But hey, all i know is that the doctor said i had it. So i say i do.

Domon Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Harry, have you ever considered pulling your head out of your ***? I mean get a grip, ADD is a real problem and wether you believe it or not doesn't matter, its a fact of nature and I think what you said was just utterly rude. I know people that have ADD and they do have a hard time remembering things like complicated formulas even if they study for like 3 hours or longer they will forget it so your post was totally rude and uncalled for.

XeEmO Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I aparantly have a small case of ADD. It hasn't really effected me much since 6th grade. I'm going into 11th grade next year and I don't even take medication anymore. To be honest, I don't see any proof ADD exists, but that could just be because I have/had it.

[/B][/QUOTE] Welcome to the real world buddy, complicated formulas aren't easy to memorize! Also last time I checked ADD doesn't cause memory loss. Go ahead and let the drug companies pump you full of crap though, I don't care. But I will care if my son is "diagnosed" with ADD because the teacher noticed he didn't like sitting in a desk for 8 straight hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Actually having a short attention span does affect your memory as well. Drug companies do not make up all this crap about ADD etc. Also, let me get this straight though, you think the drug companies come up with all sorts of diseases? So you think the drug companies come up with things like oh say Herpes, Cancer, and Arthritis? Cause that's what you come off sounding like.

[/B][/QUOTE] I think they make this **** up when 80% of my little brothers grade was on Ritalin. I never said they made up those other things because those are quiet obvious, but this is like "he has a short attention span? Well let's make him pop some pills" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Domon Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I agree to an extent Ritalin is abused by a lot of parents but some people do have ADD. If its anyone who makes it up its Doctors because they are the ones who diagnose these things. Drug companies are the ones who just make, test, and research these things, belive me my father was a doctor. So if 80% of your brother's grade was on that drug then maybe the parents went to a bunch of quacks who gave them a quick way out but ADD is real.

Fall Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 I don't have ADHD. Or ADD.. I'm so damn confused here I don't even know what it's called now. I know one friend who has a slight case of hyperactivity, as I'll call it. ADHD, ADD, be what it is, he's still alright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 You don't get it do you Harry? I have aced every social studies test ever, and i never study for them. But, when i do actually sit and study for about 3 hours of 3 formulas, i still don't get higher than a C. Its just , if your interseted in something and you read it, i'll remeber it. But when i'm not, it gives me a head acke just looking at it. So why dont you shut the **** up and get on with your life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest XBebop Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Harry has a LIF?! IT'S A SCIENTIFIC BREAKTHROUGH! anyways. i have a friend with ADHD, he can't have any sugar or else he pretty much goes crazy. I gave him a cookie and he started jumping off the walls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Well theres a big differnce betwwen ADD and ADHD. If you have ADD, its like the opposite of ADHD and your more laid back and carefree, just with a short memory span. I myself have been mistaken for a pot head because i look sleepy alot. Look at my avatar and thats how i look alot, just withought the sunglasses and cigarette. (DO NOT MAKE A JOKE ABOUT THAT OR I WILL SERIOUSLY HURT YOUR FEELINGS!)

Zen Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 Thats what the medication is for buddy. But like i said, ADD and ADHD are totally different. I have a bit more energy when i take the concerta 30. It works pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] So your whole point in this thing was that you have ADD, and this allows you fail all of your math quizzes. Do you get 100's on all the quizzes when you do take your ritalin? And what's all this get on with your life stuff, you're the one that's nearly cring about this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen Posted July 28, 2003 Share Posted July 28, 2003 No, not one hundred but i went from F to D+ and C. So theres an obvious improvement. I was close too failing math, but hen i started taking Concerta 30 and i barley passed with a solid D. And i was getting Fs on my report card before that. So i say it works enough. Did you know that Tom Cruise has ADD and so did Leaonrdo Divinci. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smack him up a bit, he'll shut the heck up REAL fast, try it some time. Another thing, sugar makes you hyper, which idiotic people confuse for ADHD and idiot parents also confuse it, how about less sugar and see if that works. If it still persists, smack him/her/it up a bit, it will calm down, REAL QUICK. Trust me on this, one of my good friends has this so called ADHD, when he gets really hyper and annoying, I give him a few punches, he calm down REAL quick.
