I guess his parents couldn't get his attention to tell him not to share the candy.

We will see big things in the future from this one! What an idiot. Parents probably have ADHD as well and did not teach this one right from wrong.
Hope the stupid students that took the drug will learn a valuable lesson here.

These are pretty serious charges, for such an innocent thing. What the kid did was bad and wrong, but should we ruin his life with charges like these? When is this country going stop being so drug crazed!

The best treatment for ADHD is the good old fashion spanking! Stop giving these kids drugs.

Didn't anyone teach these kids not to take other people's prescription? Or did they think they were going to get high? The question is why would they take medication that was not prescribe for them? I fault them because no one forced them to take it.......

No, we should wait until someone dies and THEN ask "well, how could we have known?"

ADHD - lol - what a made up illness to sell more imagination robbing, dumbing down, rounding up the herd drugs.
The cure we got in school was a pop on the head and a teacher screaming "PAY ATTENTION!". Worked pretty well and no other students felt the effect.....well except to laught at ya.

I have to say I do agree with smokiedpot. These are pretty serious charges for a minor. While it was wrong, no one was forced to take anything. Adderall and other stimulants used to treat ADHD are very abused by teens and young adults. For the most part, it isn't the "slacker" type students using and abusing these prescription drugs. Its the honor students, and star athletes, because these drugs are "smart pills." They give students the drive to study for hours, or stay up all night for cram sessions. The problem in my opinion is with the fact that many are over diagnosed with the disorder and jut given some meds. There are strategies and techniques that people suffering from ADHD need to be aware of also.

We used to walk 10 miles to school, in the snow, before we sniffed glue.
Now they ride in their cars and do designer drugs - where has America gone wrong?

Exactly! If the child has too much energy and no one wants to deal with them give them medication that turns them into veggies! Stop letting those people give your children medication they don't actually need.

Daily Horoscope for December 1

Gemini

Spend the morning recharging your spiritual batteries and prepare for the coming Full Moon in your sign. Listen to your favourite music, surround yourself with your things and let confrontations and business dealings wait until you are ready. The Moon enters Gemini later today, so things will take on a much rosier hue.
