I think I have a severe case of A.D.D...
I know I have met several teachers who believed so...
They always wondered why I was not heavily sedated with all the new-fangled drugs that were popping out at the time. Also they were quite amazed how well I did in school.
All I can say is that I am a smart bugger. My problem has always been on focusing...
All the time--in my head-- I talk to myself and I start thinking one thing that automatically ends with another...
Like I'll be thinking...
"Hey how bout this weather we're having right now? It's really--green flamingos attack Pearl Harbor and all we can do is--port-a-let, now that's a funny word..."
See what i mean?
Luckily, I am really good at obsorbing information quickly. That's probably how I got through school. Either that or school really was a joke, a push-over, and all the other kids who struggle at it are either just too damn lazy or really fucking retarded. I am thinking the latter, whose kidding... I couldn't obsorb spilled kool-aid with a dishtowel. So, sorry kids, I guess that makes you all lazy-ass retards...

ADD is quite a cool thing to have in England.
All my best friends have it. And the doctors never give any of them drugs. I guess its all part of the "pull yourself together and snap out of it!" mentatlity that prevails over here.
Anyway...from my perspective it ensures that life is never boring...
oh... im not complaining
you're right... it's never a dull day...
though i would like to comment that doctors and teachers pass out those drugs on this side of the atlantic like they're cure-all/solve-all medicine... kinda makes me sick... most of the kids who take ridalin dont even have ADD, but are only rambuntious little kids--cant have that can we...
No, no, indeed...pass the sedatives...I'd love to go outside but I have to take my medication, mmmmm.....sllleeeeppppy.....
ha!
Ritalin is not a sedative. It's actually a stimulant, believe it or not. For people who have ADD it does something to help them concentrate and focus, but it's abused by people who don't have ADD who use it like speed. Which is one reason why doctors are becoming less eager to hand it out so easily. Though Mike's right, we're quick do diagnose ADD to anyone who had too much sugar for breakfast one day.
Ah - ok, so I've never actually heard of the stuff before; I just presumed it would be a sedative.
It probably isn't even legal over here; not much is, really. 'Cept diamorph. Doctors love giving people that - it's pure heroin. Which could be why we have so many smackheads (people addicted to "smack" - aka heroin).
I can't say I knew that...
but i'd also like to point out I didn't say it was a seditive... so in retaliation goober, sugar doesn't really make kids hyperactive... just an old myth (like the ones they break on mythbusters--that show rocks)...
though it is a quick form of energy that burns really quickly, this doesn't necessarily mean that a child's (or even abs as she skarfs down chocolate coins) body will use those short burst of energy...
Actually I say feed children more sugar...
then they'll those damn rug-rats will tucker out soon and stop screaming in my damn ear...
Ah - are you a champion baby-sitter?
I always was. For some reason the little sods love me.
I found the best way to shut them up was to put a dash of vodka in their bed-time drinks - sends the little bastards off to sleep no problem.
And then of course there's all the fun games you can play - like when the ice cream van man switches on his music, it means he's run out of ice cream...laugh? I nearly died...
ha ha ha
yes, i was in a past life time...
also I have 6 siblings...
5 of them are younger, but even my older brother (by eleven months) was under my supervision when my parents went out, ha-ha, so I know all about screaming kids... it's probably the reason I didn't want to be a teacher with the degree I'm earning...
Ugh - I come from a long line of teachers and decided pretty early on that whatever I did in life, it wouldn't be that...mainly 'cos I'd quite like to be throwing stuff all over the place and playing in the sandpit myself...ah well, maybe one day I'll grow out of it...
I hope I never do
-grin-
Nah, I don't believe anyone really ever "grows up" unless they really want to. So as far as I'm concerned there's no such thing...
