I don't think it's medication that is the problem. It's a very general dumbing down of society - it's all about "me". Somewhere along the line society has become "You have screwed me over and I must pay you back".
This morning another teacher was killed by her fourteen year old student:

Seriously, what the fuck? |
i don't know, i know a number of kids on meds. the thing is the kids prefer to keep it a secret from other kids at school. you'd be more likely to hear it from the parents if you were friends with them. one of our friends 9 year old son is on meds (i forget which) just because he speaks out in class. totally overkill if you ask me. teachers expect kids to be perfect quiet little robots these days and if they don't follow protocol, its meds time.
