Drug the Kids Up Mom


How the hell did kids survive childhood in the 30’s, 40’s, 50’s and 60’s without the use of all of the lovely mind altering drugs available by any child Psychiatrist in today’s world. And yet without all the prescriptions to alter their personalities they managed to handle the largest world war in history, get us through the cold war, and introduced us to the new world order.

Personally, I have seen what these mind altering drugs can do to a kid and it takes them out of reality so they do not have to deal with the reality of life. They also steal the real child from the parents. Kids are tough but putting them on drugs to make them so called “Normal” is in my opinion wrong. The reason why it is so wrong is that they do not learn how to interact and adapt to society as “We” expect them too. Drug them up and let the teachers have an easier day and Mom and Dad don’t have to deal with the child at all. If you let the kids be, then they will adapt to the best of their abilities and live the way that they should. With their brains developing and learning every single day, they as a person will manage to become productive adults by life experience.

You could go to your local school and ask the nurse to see the medications that they are supposed to hand out every single day to the students and be blown away. For every symptom of behavior that just might be over the acceptance of normalcy there is a doctor willing to put your kid on the latest and greatest psychotic drug that just might stop it… for now?

Place your bets and I’m betting that this latest act of violence was committed by one or more kids with some sort of “Syndrome” or “Mental Health” issue. People still got shot though but you run along little Johnny because you have an excuse to not be responsible. MSNBC has the latest school shooting incident out in Las Vegas…

6 shot after getting off Las Vegas school bus
Adult male in critical condition; teen male serious; at least 2 sought

LAS VEGAS - Six young people were shot Tuesday after they got off a school bus that left a high school, and one suffered critical injuries, authorities said. At least two individuals are suspected in the shooting in northeast Las Vegas, which occurred just before 2 p.m., said Officer Bill Cassell.

Gunshots rang out after the school bus left the area around North Walnut Road and East Alexander Road, Cassell said.

Six people were transported to University Medical Center.

I may be way off of the mark on blaming this incident on child over medication but what happens to the child when they become an adult? From six years old to the time they become a full grown man or woman they have had no sense of reality growing up. For that matter been told that they are not normal and deserve special treatment. How does that teach the child about the real world that is sometimes very cruel?

When I was child, if I pissed of the school bully then we would eventually get into a school yard fight. Then my best friend Joannie would save my sorry ass by kicking the day lights out of the bully before he killed me. Lesson learned, never piss of the bully if Joannie is not close by. The bully would get in trouble and so would Joannie and I for fighting at school. Life is full of many lessons like that one but the end result is that as a child you learn what is acceptable behavior that are both negative and positive by your peers and from your parents.

You could take the healthiest child to any child psychologist and they would find a prescription that meets the child. Drugging them up is not always the answer. Don’t ever let any doctor tell you that the child may suffer if you do not have them on any particular medication for the latest syndrome. Second and third and fourth opinions are always YOUR option.

I can already see the headlines for this story tomorrow blaming guns for the kids being shot. This isn’t about guns. It’s about parents to busy with their own lives that will not deal with kids as they have been for all time. Just kids. There is no magic pill that is better than just life experience. Let the kids be kids and parents be real parents.

That isn’t going to happen in today’s world where both parents have to work just to survive and the children are just a by product of your combined careers. So get used to school shootings by problem children with issues that medication is supposed to solve. Trust me, been there, done that, did not work. I’m not innocent of the plague of the parental medication babysitting phenomenon we all live with today. This is just my personal opinion on the whole medicating our kids out of reality. I am not offering medical advice here.

As for most folks you could actually talk to your kids. They might just surprise you. They look up to Mom and Dad in ways that not one soul in the entire world will ever look at you. My kids amaze me every single day but I’m addicted to them so my opinion might not count. Most importantly, let your kids hang out with other kids their own age and learn what life is really all about. Stupidity is learned and hopefully it is a friend that shows your baby what not to do. My prayers are with you if your child is the stupid one that is actually caught.

Comments… Were you the stupid one amongst your friends?
