Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help In School


In the article," Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help In School "is mainly stating how they would like to provide students with A.D.H.D with a pill that would help them focus in class and participate.


" People throughout the society think that the pill is too expensive to change the kid's environment, so we have to change the children." Stated Dr. Anderson.


Dr. Anderson is the person who had the suggestion that children who was diagnosed with A.D.H.D ( attention deficit hyperactivity disorder ) should be provided with the pill called Adderall. Adderall is a pill that provided the person that is taking it,  with energy and help them participate in class.

Some people believe that they reason that the children with A.D.H.D grades are not that good because of the fact that they parents are not able to afford tutoring and or family counseling.

I think that this pill is not a good idea because you don't know how the pill with react in the child's body system.

The article stated, "Quintn, 10 years-old, began to have hallucinations about things happening in school such as him getting into fights at school, him arguing with people because he thought that they was talking about his mother." It turned out that this was a side effect to the pill Adderall.

Dr. William Graf suggested that families should be able to choose their selves if their children would take the pill Adderall because of the side affects.

Dr. Anderson stated that he does not know the long term effects but he do know the short-term, but the Doctor should know all the effects from this drug because the pill could have  possibility that it might shorten a child's life you never know. And he just wants to provide children with it, to me i think this drug Adderall should not be provided what so ever.


Will this drug be harmful to children's life?

Should this Drug ( Adderall ) be given to children with A.D.H.D?
