Helllo,

(u have to put ur email address to view it, dont worry it wont come to me! 😛)

This is a video, about 2 hours long, on which I had to write a review. It is basically about how the western world is drugging their kids and talk about the harms.

I am still half way there, but couldn't stop myself from posting here and sharing it with you guys.

I think they are just taking their childhood away. As a child it is natural to be curious and to learn things. Some kids are more curious then others, but that doesn't mean that they are exceptional cases and need special supervision and drugs to settle them down and make them "discipline" Just to make their job easy and to make money, they are ruining the future of little kids.

One of my family friend's son is under observation, and school is doing its best to prove that he is an exceptional child (ADHD) and needs extra help, which will be there all through the years of his study. Just because he is hyper, he has too many questions, he is very social and because he doesn't like to write, but prefer oral stuff. They are making him, in fact forcing him to study grade 4 course in grade 7. Being careless as a 12 year old boy is very normal. They are absolutely ignoring the fact that, he has a great general knowledge and a higher intelligence level and he is a quick learner. but because the teacher has to tell him twice to do his class work, he is forced to study in a group of 4 then in a group of 25. and the course is also of a lower level.

I had many conversations with the little fellow, and as being a practitioner and being in med field, I have observed him. He is a decent child. with great imagination and creativity. and he loves to do his own level works. he wants to be a scientist one day and want to make a robot. he is already working on it. he watch all the tech and mechanical shows and remember everything he saw. he is a fabulous artist, very sensitive, very caring, very helpful.

if he was suffering from something he wouldn't be doing that. Sometimes I wonder what they would have done to Newton, if he was present in this day. he would have diagnosed with ADD. coz he is not learning and sitting outside the class room. we would have no law of gravity.


When I was a kid in Pakistan, we used to have a class of 25-30 students, and teacher used to make sure that each one of us are working, that included the hyper ones and the ones who were slow in general. Honestly speaking, I never liked to write, my hand writing is worse then any conventional doctor. and my class notes can't be read by myself most of the time. but if I was here, I would be in a learning disabilities school. and the school declaring me hopeless would have moved me to a mental hospital, coz I can't write.

I have been a volunteer in both Canadian Elementary school, and in Pakistani Elementary School I remember a kid in a class, where I used to be a helper for lower grade teacher (in Pakistan), who used to get off his seat and used to go wonder in the ground, pet the rabbits and ducks and come back, the teacher used to stand at the door, watched him, and when he used to come bak, she used to ask him about his trip, and he had something to say every time, he would have discovered something new everytime, in each trip. doesnt matter if it was that the water was dirty or the duck's feet are webbed. He was in a state of learning. After a while when his curiosity was over, he stopped going out.

if the same child was in North America, they would have moved him to a school with mental disabilities. and made him sit in a room with some kids, and with some puzzles or alphabets which he has to tell the teacher. the schools in NA, are totally jamming the creativity and imagination of their own generation. and if a parent doesn't agree they FORCEFULLY take the kid away, claiming that they know better about the child then the teacher and the school board. they are limiting the areas from where they can learn.

In Canada, the teacher mostly give the class their classwork and go on her desk and work on thier own thing. according to them, the students should come to them, if he/she needs something. and all this time students are asked to work like mature adults. the ones who are moving or staring out of the window are later asked to be in a smaller group where there is one teacher on 4 students. in a normal class there is no communication between the student and teacher. they are limiting their abilities. teachers and the school board is spending more time in finding the wrong one then to nurture the good ones and try to bring the little slow kid upto the level of others.

Is this the way of disciplining kids??
if it is, then why are those students dropping out of school at a lower grade. Only 20% of the students reach College/University Level in Canada. Rest drop out and are happy to fry french fries in McD.
If you see, the children who have base/elementary schooling from Indian/Pakistan or Asia, they go on and are bigger achievers then those who are studying here.
The suicide rate in NA of kids from 15-25 have increased by 9% in this one year. and many of these kids are the ones who were diagnosed for ADHD & ADD.

I can go on and on, on the educational system of NA and their drugging of kids to calm them down. it is just ruining them. they are ruining their own generations with their own hands!!!

it is better for a child to be hyper, then be suppressed to a limit that he/she goes and shot himself and his fellow mates.

I have not seen the video..

I want to say in simple words..

i am not a science student but i dont think any child is born as "HYPER"..
The atmosphere in whcih the child is grown and the knowledge he is fed with makes him hyper.

But i agree with you. sending the child to some kind of mental school for any simply reason is the worst decision.

It is the responsibility of the teachers to take care and make him learn things instead of raising the hands and showing the door of hyper school..

well, i am not a scientist myself, but so far what I have studied, Hyperness is an in born thing. you can suppress a child through environment, but you can't activate or hyper it up. if a child is shy in nature, it will remain shy, even if you make them stand in comedy circus, or dose them with chocolate and sugars. if its not in their genes, then it wont come.

some kids who are born and seem to be in low energy, however the parents have a history of active personalty then that child will grow as an active child, if given the right atmosphere. If both parents or even the grandparents, are less active and are less social, then it is likely that the child would be the same and remain the same.

you can't make a turtle run like a rabbit by making the turtle live with rabbits.

take two glasses of pure water. add one drop of ink in one glass(A) and leave the other one (B) as it is.

now Dilute glass A, with water, take a drop of water from glass A, and add it to glass C , then take a drop of water from C and drop it in Glass D. continue doing that until you are sure that no ink is in the water. But if you go by the theory of "memory of water" there is STILL ink molecules or the memory of Ink is in the water.

that means, and it is similar to human nature. every person have a nature of being hyper or social, it is just how and what they use. all of us are like glass A. we have all the qualities, but it is on us whether we use it or not. just like brain, all have it, some keep it fresh and never use it, others over use it, and it expires before time.

ppl which fit in glass B category are less in number. who have nothing in them. even a naturally born mentally challenged child/guy would want social interactions.

most of the children who slow learners, but their parents are intelligent, are most likely to be premature kids. (as in born in 7-8 months) (nature) or have different suppresses or emotional issues. (nurture)

premature birth is anytime before 37th week. 37th week is 8 and a half months.

if a woman is in serious condition in the start of 8th month, and have a matter of life and death, then doctors wont tell her to wait for a month, and u will have a mature baby, doesnt matter if you are there or not after the delivery.

I was wondering the same when i was replying to above concern. it got all twisted and turned.

well, my main question/concern was the use of drugs to calm down or to control little kids. who have no idea wats going on with them. it would be great if u watch the video.

the pharmaceutical companies and the education boards are simply playing with the lives of young kids, which of course are the future.
