A MUST SEE documentary!
‘The Drugging of Our Children‘ will be shown during the August 2007 International Film and Music Festival at the Crest Theatre in Sacramento, California.
This feature-length documentary examines the alarming growth in the prescription of powerful psychotropic drugs for adolescents and children. This documentary covers the national tragedy of Columbine and focuses on the largely unknown fact that teenage shooter Eric Harris was on the psychotropic drug Luvox at the time he and Dylan Klebold took the lives of 13 other students at their high school.
Violence and aggression, precipitated by prescribed drug use, is also explored in an unprecedented discussion between Mark Taylor, the first shooting victim in the Columbine tragedy, and Cory Baadsgard, a teenager on Paxil and Effexor who, in another violent incident, took his teacher and 23 students hostage at gunpoint in his Washington high school.
The film proceeds to show the dangerous links between psychotropic drugs like Paxil, Luvox, Effexor and Prozac – commonly prescribed to adolescents for anxiety, depression and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) – and the increased incidents of violence, suicide and psychotic behavior often observed in those children and adolescents who are taking the drugs.
The film also presents compelling personal accounts, including a mother going to prison and losing her son to government authorities because she refused to give her son psychiatric drugs. We also ask some of the leading medical authorities and mental health professionals to tell us the unvarnished truth about current increased diagnoses of recently devised mental illnesses and the unprecedented prescription of a host of very powerful psychoactive drugs to “treat” them.
Finally, this documentary explores safer, alternative methods for treating childhood mental illness.

I have read reports on drugging children mostly boys for ADHD. It is a problem that the scientogologists are fighting. (scientology) I know they are a bit of a religious movement but then I think they believe we came from other space creatures. Not too sure yet I do think we fight the same fight at a bigger/broader picture. Well, we have similarities. IMO
By the way, thank-you for adding me to your e-mail list. I have made my own site to keep motivated. balancethegenders.blogspot.com
I need to talk to you. I am struggling with one MRA member that you know well. Wonderful man but very hard on us women.

Parent: Okay. I will tell you what I will do. I will tell him that if he pays attention, he will get better grades. If he gets better grades I will not ground him. If he does not get better grades, he will be grounded for an entire semester so he can concentrate on his schoolwork and get better grades. And when he grows up, the need for a paycheck will certainly improve his attention to any task an employer might hire him for.
Teacher/Social Worker/Other Buttinsky Drawing Paycheck From Taxpayers: You are so misguided. How can you be so judgmental! It is a psychological disorder that is best treated by psychoactive drugs that can have an even more powerful affect on the brain chemistry than crack cocaine, but for good purposes! It will improve his concentration in class, we have seen it in many cases!
Parent: What you’ve seen are kids sitting still in class because they are drugged. Those who are that way without the Ritalin and the other prescription poisons are probably smoking marijuana. It is not the same as being properly motivated. The lack of motivation and interest in the subject matter is the real source of the problem you call “attention deficit disorder”.
That folks, is it in a nutshell. I am baffled that millions of parents put up with this shit. It would help if the court system did not destroy so many fathers and reward so many irrational mothers. This crap does not seem to happen to or be tolerated by intact families with undestroyed fathers.

As far as education, there is no need for separation of the genders, and actually some reasons to avoid separation. What must be discarded is the notion of result-based equality, which sadly has become the norm. Both male and female can work together fine and reach their optimum, so long as expectations are not prescribed. Incentives aimed at gender-balanced outcome are the real problem, not physical proximity. When there is some natural progression and differentiation, where some males definitely get a stronger handle on the hard sciences, that they must be allowed to do so — the same as some female can. But as we well know, in today’s academic environment the male must do himself what some females might do with special assistance. This modern feminist approach is not just an insult to science, but to both genders, including the female scientists.

Thanks for reminding us of the horor of what we are doing to our children. For years n ow close to one million American school children are on Ritalin, about 80% of whom are boys. The biggest sin of the boys is that they are not behaving like girls. We are neutering them at an early age.
Also, after sixth grade its time to separate the sexes. The thinking of males and females is decidedly different, also the sexual tension demands release.

What no one seems to realize is that the boys are just acting out the “playing the victim” role, which they see works for girls and women, though they haven’t yet really learned it doesn’t work for males, that drawing attention to themselves brings disapprobation not sympathy.
I am surprised that out of all the super-high IQ types who’ve made it through med school and gotten an MD, that only a few have stepped back and questioned the ‘discovery’ in vast numbers of these ‘behavioral diseases’ which were unknown two generations ago.

I’ve known several kids who I believed at the time needed these drugs. The improvement in their self-control resulted in happier and mentally healthier children because it allowed them to develop healthy relationships with other children; something that had been missing from their lives.
It might be relevant that all of the children were boys, and all of them were missing fathers in their lives or the parents were going through a break-up.
I have a feeling there are a small number of children who benefit from these or other similar drugs. Kids whose parents have tried everything else and who still suffer. I think the problem is the safety of the drugs, how often the drugs are prescribed, and clearly who’s involved in that decision.
This is another example of why we need to establish basic family rights on all levels of government.

Guys, Julie’s one of the good guys…I mean good gals. Give her a break, okay? If you’re not sure what she means, assume it’s good. Don’t make her wait as long as I did before you trusted me. K? : )

As for the general distrust issue, that has been aired for yonks. The rationales are very clear. Even men have to prove themselves to one another and few embrace with ease, but neither with the often machievellian motive that women do. Remember how women rejected so many sympathetic men when they were at the start of their ‘eeekwaliteee’ thrust? You face the same. But you might get the acceptance if you hang in there and understand.
Hint. Try empathy.
