[quote=Anonymous]My daughter is at a top private school where almost 40 to 50% of kids are on some form of medication for anxiety or Adhd etc. Recently before a test she was extremely nervous and her friend was suggesting medication for it. I told her being anxious before a major test is normal. Developing coping mechanisms is part of growing up. Part of the issue is that there is so much emphasis on maintaing a high GPA in her school that kids and parents are ready to do anything to get ahead. I wanted to avoid magnet schools because of intense pressure but now I realize there is another kind of issue at private schools.[/quote]
