It's too easy a "solution" for parents who find it hard to control their children within their busy schedules.
Name a kid who doesn't get depressed, especially teenagers. It's part of being a teenager, for christ's sake.
At the rate we're going there's going to be a generation of drugged out zombies incapable of having emotions of their own.

EXACTLY... I have a 10 year old that they have been trying to get me to have tested since he was in Kindergarten.. and I simply will NOT do it. He's a handful, yes, but he isn't any worse than any other little BOY... they want to put him on it because he is too quiet in school. He makes A's and B's, but they think he has some kind of disorder because he is quiet. FUCKERS!!! I'd really hate to see what they did with a child that was a REAL troublemaker....... but then most of THEIR parents will listen to the schools and put those kids on this shit.
The only way my kids will ever be on any kind of drugs like this is if their lives depended on it and I told them this..... but now it looks like being on it is even more of a risk.
Like the one woman said on CNN when I seen it...... I am NOT playing Russian Roulette with my child's life!!!
