WHY there are so many mentally disturbed children NOW than in previous decades? It seems half the children are Autistic or have some other Anti-Social Behavioural problems or Attention problems. WTF is causing all of this or is it that many children are just BADLY BEHAVED these "medical terms" are being used to EXCUSE badly behaved children? Considering thanks to Bedwetting Snowflakes badly behaved children cannot even be properly disciplined anymore, I'm not even meaning beating them I'm meaning just general punishments eg. bad behaviour including throwing a MEGA tantrum resulting in denying them something they want so that they learn that bad behaviour and throwing a MEGA tantrum is associated with withdrawing of a reward.
Three likely causes, Lucy:
- The modern propensity to ascribe a medical condition to what we used to just call part of growing up. They have a name for everything now. Good business for doctors.
- An actual increase in behavior disorders likely caused by food additives, colorings and chemicals added to processed food.
- All compounded by growing up in a dysfunctional society where children are routinely arrested by police at school for a Pop Tart, a doodle, playing cops and robbers, being x-rayed, scanned, lockers checked for illegal paraphernalia, marched around like the gestapo, made to wear a mask, not allowed to go outside, driven to the bus stop, watched over and over-protected, and an excess or rules and too little freedom to just be kids.
I basically agree with all you have commented above.
