I feel the same way about kids getting add medication and calling it a "vitamin." I don't think anyone should be given medication without their consent, and you can explain what it is to them in an age appropriate way.

I do not advocate calling medication "vitamins", but as a nurse - I do not agree that children should give consent to take medications. You can explain it any way you like - if the medicine doesn't taste good, they won't take it. Children don't understand long term consequences or importance of medication. I'm not really talking about ADD medication - but blood pressure meds, heart meds, seizure meds, antibiotics...which meds to you force them to take without consent? Because I can tell you, I have had to hold down numerous children as old as 7 or 8 (usually after that, they may not WANT to take a med, but will because they HAVE to) and forced them to take a medication. Sorry, not optional. Your parents make the decision for you.

Thats a good point. But not even explaining to them what is going on doesn't sit right with me, either.

I'm surprised so many are anti south and accent. I love it! When I vacation down there the ppl are always so nice and open and I find the accent charming. Makes me think of gone with the wind

I was so disappointed that I chose to see it over wolf of Wall Street on my night out alone. The acting was great but it was surprisingly uneventful, and I'm a real lover of all types of movies. I think the great acting is giving it more nods than it deserves
