Parents and teachers alike have been persuaded to believe there is something wrong with a child, if their school performance is not what is expected, if they are overactive kids, or if their attention span is shorter than what is considered normal.

There is a practice that has been going on the past several decades that has frightening consequences and causes drug addiction for many. The mental health doctors have been diagnosing certain children with what they call mental disorders and have been prescribing drugs for these children.

These types of what the experts call a disability are attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, minimal brain dysfunction, learning disability, developmental reading and writing disorder. Failing to recognize that all children are different and each has their own personality traits, these experts have the idea, if a child does not perform exactly as they feel they should, or the same way other children do, then that child has some form of mental disability that requires a drug to take care of the problem.

Some children as young as three or four years old are being prescribed a drug to alleviate their so-called mental disorder. As these drugs can be addictive, we are allowing our children to be started on the road to addiction.

This should alarm all of us to the fact that drugs should never be introduced to anyone, especially our children. Unfortunately, this is not the case as there are millions of children in America who are being given the most dangerous and addictive drugs on the face of the earth. They are not illegal drugs, but perfectly legal through prescription. These drugs have a mind altering affect, in addition to an addictive affect on these children.

So many are asking why there are so many school shootings nowadays. Kids are taking guns to school and shooting other students and teachers. This type of occurrence was unheard of twenty years ago, so why has it become so prevalent in the past several years? If you trace back the history of the school shooters, almost to a person, you will find they were all on some type of drug and many of them have been drugged since a very early age. Since the drugs they have been taking are mind altering drugs, is it any wonder they would commit the acts they have?

Ritalin is the most 'popular' drug given to children for the so-called mental disability they are suffering. Teachers have been drawn into the notion that unless they have their Ritalin kids, they will be unable to teach. There was a time back in the middle 1990s when there was a shortage of Ritalin and many teachers felt they could not conduct a classroom without their 'Ritalin kids'.

To understand how dangerous Ritalin is, we first have to know what it is. It is what's called a speed drug or an upper. In the body, it performs the same as cocaine or amphetamines and its affects last longer in the body than cocaine or amphetamines, while still being just as potent.

While all the time promoting Ritalin as an effective treatment for learning disorders, no evidence has ever been found to prove this theory, not even by the man
