court ordered drug classes?

Best answer:

Answer by IN PO
Lafayette……………… Indiana? Louisiana? What state?

Your probation officer–or whoever is making sure you’re doing your classes as ordered–should be able to provide you with a list of agencies in your area that offer drug classes…

Or, you could look in the Yellow Pages, or on http://www.yellowpages.com , and check under “Alcoholism Information & Treatment Centers” for agencies… If they offer counseling for alcohol abuse, they offer counseling for drug abuse…

Question by CH: Why do high school students have so many different subjects shoved down their throat?
No, I do NOT want to learn about the Pythagorean Theorem and the ancient Hittites. I could f**king care less. I want to be a psychotherapist. That has nothing to do with the Pythagorean theorem or ancient Hittites. And knowing about those two subjects will never, ever help me in life. Yet they’re still shoved down my throat. Here’s a dialogue with my school counselor.

“You need to start thinking about your career–you need to make these choices now.”

“Okay, I want to be a psychotherapist. I’ve had that goal for years. Can I quit geometry, literature, and biology and focus on that career area?”

“No, you’re not old enough to make those choices now.”

I love to learn–I’ve read Moby-Dick, Les Miserables, War and Peace, and The Tempest all on my own time. But I hate learning when the information is useless and I don’t get any input into what I learn. My school is like a prison! Girls suspended for carrying Ibuprofen, teachers keeping kids from going to the bathroom, bullsh*t lies about drugs in our health classes. (No, one joint of pot does not equal twenty-five cigarettes. Pot is bad for you, but not that bad.) Whitewashed “politically correct” history textbooks (No, there were not any important women in ancient China. They were oppressed like slaves. It’s a sad story, don’t lie about it to make us feel better.) Kids getting paddled (No, hitting us is not a way to get us to behave.) Idiotic abstinence only sex education classes (No, sex is not bad, it’s a healthy expression of love when it’s between the right two people.) Bullies that rampage through the halls and are given no opposition from either faculty or students. (No, Principal Roy, that 220 pound jock was not “kidding” when he tackled a freshman.) Security cameras hanging on the walls tracking our every move. Bells that ring and regiment every aspect of our lives. Computers with controls that censor our access to knowledge. I hate it! How can I and other students stand up for our education?

Go visit your school district board of directors. They usually have open meetings for the community to comment on whats going on at schools. Also, if you want, protest. I graduated in 2004 and we hardly did anything.

Question by A: How to live without Adderall?
Sorry for making this long. But if anyone reads this I appreciate you taking the time. Basically, I have extreme treatment resistant depression. (Suicidal, no motivation, couldn’t even get out of bed every day, just wanted to die). Years of taking practically every antidepressant did nothing for me. (I honestly believe they’re just placebos). Eventually I was prescribed Adderall as an add on to my antidepressant. It was a blessing. It makes me happy, confident, motivated, clear headed, better at everything, and energetic. It is the only thing that has ever helped. All the therapy, antidepressants and mood stabilizers in the world couldn’t help me. 2 weeks after being prescribed Adderall my life completely turned around. (Found a job, stopped abusing drugs, all my problems went away and I feel on top of the world). But I don’t want to take Adderall for the rest of my life. I know it can be a terrible drug and i’m well aware of the long term effects. But I don’t know how I can live and function without it. I fear i’ll lose my job, get really depressed, lose my friends, and won’t be able to do anything if I get off of it. Everyone says I’m doing so much better now. But I know it’s not me, it’s speed. I hope that this changed perspective can stick with me after I stop taking it and that the medicine will change my personality permanently for the better or that I’ll become used to thinking this way and it will become part of me. But I don’t know if it will. All I know is that I can’t take this forever. But I can’t live without it. I don’t know what to do and can’t see any other options. Please help. Any serious advice is appreciated. (And please no “You need rehab.” etc.) I don’t have drug issues. I have mental issues.

Go the natural route. Herbs, vitamins, healthy foods. Herbs like St. John’s Wort and Niacin. It can’t hurt to try it. Here’s a link that goes more in-depth about this. Hope everything works out in the end.
