[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] I graduated from college in 1990 and people were taking stimulants then too. This is not new. But I don't think significant number of middle schoolers and high school students were taking study [b]drugs meant for ADHD kids [/b]even going as far as buying those drugs on a regular basis. [/quote] Maybe not, since I don't know if those prescription meds were around then or not. But they were certainly taking "diet pills" (aka amphetamines), caffeine pills,[b] speed,[/b] etc. This is not new. Perhaps it is more wide spread at younger ages. But any time you have kids in a very competitive environment, there will be those who resort to any available substance to get an edge or are desperate to increase their grades. My college was not even that competitive, so I can't even imagine what it was like at Ivy type schools.[/quote] They were taking speed when I was in undergrad back in the 80's. I guess the ADHD drug is a notch above. [/quote]
