<div class="section field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd"><p>Adderall is a prescription drug used to treat ADHD and Narcolepsy. However, Adderall can easily be substituted or lead an individual to use Methamphetamine. That’s because both drugs provide the same upity feeling.</p>
<p><img alt="" src="/sites/default/files/user/Tat Guy/images/confused-homework.png" style="border-style:solid; border-width:3px; float:right; height:301px; margin:5px; width:400px" />A person with ADHD is described as having a low attention span, unable to multitask or focus on details. Their life feels is limbo because they are being criticized by the family, teachers and peers. When in fact, it’s a good possibility that they are simply over-whelmed by the expectations of others. The ability to focus and multitask isn’t something that everyone is just born with, it takes practice to focus as much as it takes practice to grow common sense. We all have our own strengths and weaknesses, I believe this is mostly based on our genetic code inherited from our parents.</p>
<p>Our parents expectations of us are usually always to.. <strong>do better than they did </strong>and they are often in too much of a hurry to see results. Parents forget what they were like as child or see their bad traits in their children and they want to help. But what is so wrong with slowly learning traits that we have weaknesses with? Why are we so quick to give teens a pill to solve their problem. Answer; because we are too busy or too lazy or just plain tired of trying. None of which are good enough reasons to put your kid on a drug that they will likely need the rest of their lives...something they will need more and more of to feel the effect as they get older.</p>
<p>Most people in the world could easily be diagnosed with ADHD. The truth is that not being able to focus on details is very common but it doesn’t define who we are. I think it’s important to focus on our strengths and build up where we are weak.</p>
<p>One article on a website really made me start questioning Adderall, but it wasn’t the content of the article, <strong>is was the comments on the article</strong> of people who used Meth and wanted an alternative to Aderall because it made them want to use Meth again.<sup data-footnote-id="qg7if"><a href="#footnote-1" id="footnote-marker-1-1" rel="footnote">[1]</a></sup></p>
<p>One such comment, among many was:</p>
<blockquote><p>“I am 34yrs old and an ex-drug addict whose been sober from everything (except occasional pot use) for over 8 years! So that being said, I do not like how adderall reminds me of being on meth or some other amphetamine-ie. crack, coke, crank, no-doze..</p>
<p>I used to love being all twacked out, but now it disgusts me and I feel like a low life drug user…</p>
<p>Does anyone know of another drug similar to adderall, but without the uppity feeling?! I just want the focussing and concentration benefits w/o the “I’m tweaking” feeling”<sup data-footnote-id="qg7if"><a href="#footnote-1" id="footnote-marker-1-2" rel="footnote">[1]</a></sup></p>
</blockquote>
<p>ADHD Redefined:</p>
<p>What if kids who have an inability to focus on detail had the ability to be compassionate individuals. Ones who take more time on details, individuals who are free thinkers and great problem-solvers.</p>

<p>A study done for 2009-2010 showed fairly disturbing results for the Midwest and the East coast on kids who were taking medication for ADHD<sup data-footnote-id="qtfl2"><a href="#footnote-2" id="footnote-marker-2-1" rel="footnote">[2]</a></sup>, I can only imagine what this chart would look like in 2015.</p>
<p>Stop taking the easy way out and letting a doctor prescribe a pill that will eventually hurt your child. Instead, learn your child’s strengths and weaknesses and give them materials to help them build upon both.</p>
<p>There are a lot of great free cell phone applications out there. One I use and recommend is “Elevate”. This allows your teen to slowly get better and makes them aware of their weaknesses. The app has no ads but offers a monthly or yearly subscription to unlock all exercises.</p>
<p>If a phone app isn’t something you wish to use, try other resources, the internet is full of free resources for education.</p>

http://www.writersopinion.com/user/monkeywrench/things-do-besides-cheating-someone-article
<div class="section field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item odd"><p>It seems that cheating has been a fairly common way for people to deal with the problems in their life. Honestly, with all the pressure and emotions, we’re a lacking society living in a “paycheck to paycheck world” it’s not really too surprising anymore.</p>
<p>From the “head of household” perspective, they are tired when they get home from work and are usually met at the door with their spouses problems and never able to express their own issues to where their significant other can actually understand. The person caught in this rut is a likely candidate for cheating, not because they are overwhelmed with their spouses issues but because their minds are not stimulated by, for lack of better words, “grown up conversation”.</p>
<p>Then you have the “stay at home parent” perspective. This individual is usually one who doesn’t have very stimulating conversations with the dog or the kids; they are simply tired of being stuck but feel responsible for taking care of the household where there is always “something to be done”. In the old days it was the milkman, then it was the pool boy and now it’s anybody in uniform that gets the ladies attention. </p>
<p>There are many reasons people can use as an excuse for cheating but the general concept comes down to.. BOREDOM. Boredom is a sickness that goes hand in hand with cheating for most I believe.</p>
<p>Now for the solution. First, clear your mind of trying to get a thrill from someone outside of your relationship; it’s only going to weigh on your conscience for the rest of your life if your spouse doesn’t find out. This is a ridiculous trade-off when the issue can be resolved with a little patience and understanding. Everyone is different so choose something that works best for you.</p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size:16px">Things to do Besides Cheating on your Spouse:</span></strong></p>
<ol>
<li>Getting out in nature everyday. It sounds stupid but there is nothing more settling than watching cows graze on the grass or birds chirping in the trees.</li>
<li>Go for a long drive. Get away from home or from the hustle and bustle, take a drive to somewhere you’ve never been or go across town for your favorite treat. Most importantly, go by yourself.</li>
<li>Go visit a family or friend who has a small children, there’s just something about an innocent child that’s comforting.</li>
<li>Instead of watching a sappy love movie, put in an educational flick that challenges your mind. The same can be said for books.</li>
<li>It’s the digital age, go to YouTube and look up funny cat videos or llama videos. The possibilities are endless.</li>
<li>Go dancing. Everyone likes to feel good about themselves, tear up a the dance floor and let your worries disappear into the floor.</li>
<li>Spoil yourself. When you’re home, have time for yourself to read a book, take a candlelit bath or read a hotrod magazine without interruption (perhaps while your spouse is out dancing).</li>
</ol>
<p>Whatever you do; don’t accuse your spouse of cheating, don’t even make little remarks about cheating...ask them in a serious but gentle manner or don’t say anything at all. If you have evidence, feel free to behave in whatever manner you see fit, just be sure not to stick your foot in your mouth later. Once you accuse someone of cheating you’ve opened the flood gates, you can never take it back.</p>
<p><span style="font-size:16px"><strong>Why Boredom started in the first place.</strong></span> </p>
<p>The problem with boredom is that...if you’re not happy being by yourself then you will always rely on others to make you happy. Leaving the boredom door open is an invitation to other bored individuals looking to fill their own voids.. My dad said, “The one person you can always depend on is yourself”. Once you become happy with yourself you can figure out whether or not you are truly happy with your partner. </p>
<p>My last advice is the most important. You call a person your spouse because you have made an agreement to be with them, don’t leave them without trying anything you or they can think of (within reason). If you’ve tried everything you both will find more peace when you move on.</p>
<p>One you’ve decided to move on start taking actions towards that goal. Seperate yourself as much as possible to get them use to the idea. And if you are in an abusive situation; get out of there as soon as possible and look into your heart for guidance.</p>
