HiPeople

Even these days there is still professional conflict among teachers and doctors with respect to giving young children "Ritalin". I guess teachers just figure that they know their students and their behavior better than doctors, and doctors feel that that since they are doctors, their training trumps a teacher's thoughts on the medication.

Do you feel that "Ritalin" should or should not be administered to children?


Godspeed.

It's not the teachers' decision, it the decision of the parent and the doctor, but mostly the parent. I have the option of putting my child on that or similar, but I don't. If the teachers don't like it (which they have no issue with, actually) it's THEIR problem and they'll just have to learn to deal with it.
As far as whether they should be on it, I don't know. To each their own, I'm opposed to drugs, but I would seriously consider it after all options are exhausted.
Although, I don't really see how this is relevant here.

When a child takes this kind of medication at a young age, they are prone to develop a dependency on the drug and exhibit adverse effects if they stop taking it. Some parents rather take these risks than to see their child struggle. It either works or it doesn't. I would rather not have my child take Ritalin, and seek drug-free therapy instead.

Forget the side effects, and the fact that it's hell on your liver... it tends to numb out a lot of empathy and emotion too. It's a really bad trade off honestly.

I wanted to make this thread in the hopes that someone might understand me a little better. Do you suffer from aggressive tendencies when not medicated? There are a lot of people out there that know that I'm taking meds to help, but are afraid to approach me or anger me because they are afraid that I will flip out at any time.

I guess I can understand where they're coming from, but it really hurts me more that some of them are nice to me because they're afraid of me even though I'm on medication for it. It wouldn't bother me except that some are so phony about it. Any thoughts?

It really is man. That's why the people at the chess club are so important to me. They've known me for around16+ years and are aware of my condition but are sincere in their ways of showing they care about me. They aren't phony.

Do you know why they are sincere and why I love them all so much? This is why. I'm not proud of it, but when I first joined the club, It was great for the first couple of years then I started drinking heavily. As a result, I would be always trying to borrow money or sell things to them to buy my liquor. I would get up in the middle of a game and leave to go home and drink without my opponent knowing. Just let them sitting there waiting for me to return, but I never did.

I would come in drunk all the time, get mouthy things like that. As a result, I was kicked out of the club. Around 5-6 years later when I got sober, I went to the club and spoke in front of everyone expressing my sincerest apologies and asked if I could be a member again. It was one of the hardest and most embarrassing thing I have ever done in my life.

After I said what I had to say, several members approached me and shook my hand and gave me hugs and said of course you can come back.
Never will I ever forget that.

No - It takes a lot to provoke me; but once I am provoked, "Katy bar the door."

(For our non-American friends, it means - more or less - "watch out" and here is the link for the meaning of Katy Bar the Door)

I went to a psychotrickerist, and he helped me get on top of my anger. Still have some rare outbursts (Hulk SMASH!), but I'm way better off than I was a kid. I never touched any meds for my anger, and still am utterly against using any.

Hi Everyone.

I just want to take the time to express my sincerest appreciation to you all for not only treating me with decency and respect, but for all the little tricks and tips to help me understand the potential my computer, and the new skills that come with it. Also I thank the members that helped me out in the "Tech Support" forum. It saved me from paying $50 to Microsoft for their support over the phone. lol

I know that it's not Thanksgiving where I live, but I'm thankful to all of you and your support. I'm proud to be a member of a forum such as this one.

God Bless.
Jason

Hi Everyone.

I wasn't planning on making another thread so soon, but I've been watching "A&E Intervention" and something popped up in my head. I can't speak for anyone else, but sometimes when I give advice, I usually just assume that the other members have strong family support behind them.

It never occurred to me that many members might not have the family support like some other members do. It also occurred to me that not all members have a great holiday season planned with their loved ones, and I'm extremely pissed off that I didn't realize this sooner. Here I am making threads about what members want for Christmas or how excited they are that Christmas nigh, without taking into consideration the members who may be suffering through all of this.

This thread is in recognition of all members who might not have family support for their suffering or a warm holiday season to look forward to. I won't ever forget those less fortunate as long as I draw breath.

Sincerely,
LK

Buddy, pal, um making a thread like this might not be the best idea either, though very well intended. Especially your last sentence, probably not the best phrasing to use. :-/
