you talking about me? or yourself???
well...you tell me how this is a "made up disorder" my friend...
student gets D's and F's...take "medicinal speed" (which would make most kids worse) and suddenly they become a 3.0 student??
and even if it is a made up disorder.......adderall got me into...and through college! without it i would be working construction for the rest of my life, and now i have a chance to have a real job....well, construction or the military..ewww...
J/K CHRIS! i had to say it....
LOL, if no one was in the military, you wouldn't be able to live your drug altered life in freedom. As far as the results, adderall helps normal people do better as well, as recently portrayed on Hawthorne and some stupid other show about normal kids getting prescriptions, and now there is talk about it being like a mental steroids and how it should be eliminated for scholarship students. I am not a physically strong guy, but give me some steroids, and some gym time, and I could be just as strong as the best of them. Drugs have a very similar result as the brainwashing we do in our school. We do it without drugs, instead we control the environment and discipline. You would be surprised how much more effective discipline is than drugs. Making you stay up late, clean, and do other mundane tasks is great incentive to perform when no one has ever held you accountable before. America is in a rut of "it isn't your(my) fault", and no one is ever held responsible for their actions, that makes my job as an instructor much more difficult.
But I am glad you are successful, but you give yourself too little credit, you don't need pills to succeed, they just help you at first, it is all you brother, not some pharmaceutical concoction. Never forget that.

ah, dont get defensive my friend....both of my best friends joined the navy right out of high school...one is recently out and now goes to school and the other is on tour #2 in iraq... i have plenty of respect for military people, i just like to jab you
and i lack want to learn certain subjects in school because i believe that i can achieve the same results in life without learning them. so why fill my brain with information that i will never use? save room for becoming extremely skilled at things that will get me far in life, or are hobbies. adderall just helps me pass the classes that i slack in
sorry for the TJ billy!
back to your regularly scheduled program!![]()
