Today,
Americans consume somewhere between 80 and 90 percent of the
world's Ritalin. Millions of American children as well as at least 65,000 five
adults maintain their social performance with the psychoactive
drug. Some children sell their Ritalin to others. Teens and
young adults have been know to crush the little pills into
powder and snort it experiencing a cocaine like high. Yet,
for many teachers burdened with the stress of managing classrooms
the drug has been a godsend. Many perceive it to be one of
the best ways to focus hyperactive behavior into concentrated
effort towards assigned tasks. Because of its delightfully
received results, Ritalin is increasingly depended upon for
bringing highly active children under parent's and instructor's
control. |
