I agree with Donnie, Sneakiechick, and Livvy.
ADD & ADHD are real diagnosis. Unfortunately many people are not fully tested for ADD & ADHD and end up being diagnosis'd with it when they don't have it. Just because it is over diagnosis'd doesn't mean that ADD or ADHD are not real medical disorders.
On a different note, there is a lack of compassion in this world. Don't be the type of person that adds to that sad fact. Words can build a person up or tear a person down. Watch children of parents with differing parenting styles and you will see how evident that is. It is the same for us in our dealing with people - face to face or even on this forum posting to one another. We can all act like hard-arses - like we don't care at all what people say to or about us, but the truth of the matter is - is that words do effect us. And how well we are in our own skins has a lot to do with how we take what other people say. We are all at different stages of maturity, development, going through certain hardships, etc. ...
... all I am saying is that we all need to think a lot more before we speak.
It is that whole 2 ears, 1 mouth thing.

Well I'm one of those people that was fully tested, so I know most of the symptoms of ADD/ADHD. I'm on medication for it. The funny thing is, the medications actually makes me seem more depressed than without it. Maybe that's why the girl killed herself? I understand what you mean Grace. Words can and do affect people, but the fact of the matter is exactly what you posted about stages of maturity. She disobeyed the rules of Myspace, and caused her own death. She has nobody to blame really, other than herself.

The article says that her parents knew that she had an account so they must have been OK with it. Had an adult not pulled some tasteless prank, she'd more than likely still be here.

And this would be the lack of compassion I was speaking about. Are you so perfect Dodge that you have never disobeyed a rule?
I know I am not perfect. I am far from it. And it is because of this knowledge that I can be more thankful and also more forgiving of others and not so judging.
I feel bad for the girl's family. I find the MySpace joke on the girl horribly cruel. It is a shame that being so insensitive isn't against the law - but that is a fortunate thing for most people in this world.
I am not saying that I don't agree with some of your perspective here, but your delivery Dodge is highly insensitive.
Obviously being sensitive just leads you to commit suicide on MySpace? It's not entirely the girls fault, but she shouldn't of been on MySpace and its partially HER parents fault aswell if she was STILL monitoring her online communications but didnt seem to see any problem with it... how is that right, too?
It's not. Everything is wrong with this scenario... but all the other mom was trying to do was find out what that girl was saying, and the mom wasn't actually the one to get on MySpace and call the fucking kid fat.
You're right, Dodge, a lot of the depression medications have more severe side affects that alter your brain pattern for the worse rather than just try and cure the depression.
And ADD & ADHD were just made up so that the pharmaceutical companies could get doctor's to dispense more medications. It's a money game.
Look at Ritalin; it's overprescribed and overused and puts kids into a stupor and they act like zombies.
Parents need to pay more attention to their kids and what their kids are doing and are into rather than rely on teachers, doctors, medications, TV and the kid's peers. It's called parenting. Perhaps there should be a license necessary to be a parent and a background check to see what's going on in their lives and what vices they have before they become parents?
