Turns out that it may not be as overdiagnosed as we think...

Or it could mean the child is bored out of their freaking little mind.

And their teacher sux. Sux big monkey balls. Big, hairy monkey balls.

Cause thats what some teachers do. They sux.

And the teacher doesn't want to deal with the child and so she tyies to label them as having ADD.

Happened to my nephew. All because his teacher sux.


To tell the truth I can understand treatment, but the drugs simply zombify people from what I've seen. If Largo entered a clinic with ritalin junkies he would try to kill them all as zombies. (No offense meant Glen). I worked with a guy named will who took his meds on the weekdays for school. But he was so much fucking fun on the weekends. He wasn't out of control, just not stupified by the meds.

So I really am not sure if I believe in all of the millions of kids have ADD bit, even with their clinical test numbers.

After all, as I beleive Mark Twain said, there are three kinds of lies: Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics.
