I guess it depends on your school then. But I know that if I had to have a fitness every week as a Japanese student in a Japanese school, I would've shot someone. If I could move that is.

I go to a school in America now and every last one of my gym teachers either have a bear belly, are the size of a vending machine, or don't look dressed for gym. Honest to goodness I had a gym teacher one year that had a fetish for cowboy outfits. I never saw him do anything except sit on the sides and watch us play.

Sometimes I think this world is just breeding a whole generation of drugged up office workers.It seems like to me that these days going to collage or university is considered the be all & end all of everything and if you can`t handle the pressure we`ll dope you up so you can.

I didn`t go to either collage or university. I`ve never regretted it once.

I was chatting to someone on here who I shant name who told me that she was perscribed ritalin to help her get rid of stress and hyperactivity so she concentrate on her exams better.

I mean WTF is that all about? If you can`t handle a couple of exams without swallowing pills how the hell are you going to cope in a job where you are expected to deliver EVERYDAY for the rest of your life.
Retalin is adrug usually prescribed to children or adolescents who suffer with ADD. In 95% of the cases the child outgrows it and no longer needs the medication. Some of the symptoms of ADD are: inability to focus or concentrate, hyperactivity, restlessness, change in sleeping patterns or inability to fall asleep.
I'd like tot hink the user you had this conversation with is a kid or an adolescent. If it is an adult then chances are this person has ADHD which is pretty common in adults and the symptoms are a lot more complex than that of ADD in a teen. And having ADHD does not mean you had ADD as a kid.
And the fact is ADHD is one of the rarer disorders amongst people and easily treated. And it's also most common amongst females.

And are you saying you didn't continue on to a higher education after high school because you couldn't handle the pressure or was that just something you threw in there?

I thought the "hand out" of perscription drugs was just mainly a problem in the United States.
I don't believe that medications should be given away so quickly to teenagers for small problems such as low grades, bad sleep patterns, misbehavior, or apathy.
I was prescribed Remeron because I got drunk and got caught.
I had to see a therapist, then a doctor, and I understood every question.
If I had answered "yes" to the questions that applied to schizophrenics I'm sure he would've started my on an anti-psychotic or whatever.
The fact of the matter is, I don't think drugs should be thrown to teens like candies.
Before a drug is prescribed, a full evaluation of the patient's psyche, or at least more insight than the patient's personal responses, should be given.
Chances are you were not prescribed Remeron because you got drunk and caught. Although I can only think of one logical reason for why you would've been prescribed any sort of medicine in that sorta situation and I don't think you should've been prescribed anything.
You were most likely prescribed medication because you were probably underaged and caught drinking. And I'm going to assume that you live in an area where there is a set age for drinking.
The fact is some people think these kidns of acts signal problems wrong with you. And the fact is you were prescribed this medication because your doctor believes that the only way to correct this sorta problematic behavior is with medication. Which is not true.
I'm sorry to say, but your family wasted money on a doctor that wasted your time.
Everyone is given a choice in life. You chose to drink. If you got cuaght, you should've been punished for it, not sent to a doctor or whatever.

And most doctors are required to do a complete medical examination of a patient before they prescribe them medication. This includes but is not lmimted to getting your family's medical history, finding out how many times you were in a hospital and for what reason. And usually you have to see a therapist for at least twice a week for about four weeks before medication should be mentioned. It's just assumed that in that amount of time the therapist has a very good understanding of your individual personality and can decide based on her analysis of you that you are either of sound mind or are not.
And the fact that you were prescribed anti-depressants and don't take them but you are functioning in society just means that you don't need the medication.
But that's not for me to determine, as i am not your doctor, nor am I a doctor.
My best suggestion to you is that you talk to your family about it. Or your doctor.

I find this insulting to everyone's general intelligence. What did you prove? Nothing. I could have found an articel on the internet if I wanted one.

No i`m saying there`s an over reliance on it , there`s much more to life than going to collage or university but you wouldn`t think that from what I hear about the pressure to get there. You are basically told 'this is the most important time in your life blah blah blah' and you have people thinking if they`re not good enough to do that then they are a failure.There are only so many places that can be filled.It`s as if training schemes , on the job training or apprentiships don`t exist anymore because everybody seems to be told that collage & university is the only way.

And you can`t tell me the stress of that and the dissapointment of not getting it , or getting it & finding you can`t cope doesn`t have any effect.

I'm not gonna lie it can be very stressful.
The only reason I want to go to college is ebcause ihave some idea of what I wanna be when I grow up. And in order to succeed in my career choice (whatever itmay be) I will need a college degree.
And the fact is you don't have to go to college ot be successful.
So many people in my family never went to college or even high shcool and make more money than some trained, college educated professionals.

But the fact is, college and universities aren't the only problems or pressures faced by people.

Are you stupid? Do you know what it means to insult someone's intelligence? Me explaining to you how to boil water is insulting your intellingence. Me explaining to you how hypercubes are important chemistry is not insulting your intelligence.

You sound annoyed.

And I doubt you can tell me anything about chemistry that I don't already know.

Have a good day

Not even you can ruin my day.

But I took AP chem last year, I earned an internship at U Penn last summer because of my outstanding grades in chemistry.
So it shows what you know. Although it can't be much because I imagine your grades are about as low as your IQ.
So saying, I hope you have fun at your nearby community college
