Drugging Kids

The article " Attention Disorder or Not, Pills to Help in School " by Alan Schwardz is tell about a doctor name Dr. Anderson who prescribe pills ( stimulants ) for kids that have A.D.H.D ( Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder ).  Parents agree with the doctor because it can't help low income kids with there grades if they slacking of off tasks. But in the other hand parents and other doctors are disagreeing because of the sided effects.
Dr. Anderson  explains that instead of trying to change the kids environment , means like the schools to just change the kids. These pills help the kids improve there academic performance in there school but other kids who are high income student use these pills to cheat & be higher at there performances. Parents say no to this pill because of the side effects ( growth suppression, increased blood pressure, and in rare cases, psychotic episode) . These symptoms shouldn't occur with ages 4-17.
In my opinion , if I had a child , I would give them the pill because of my child was struggling or off task , I don't want to drug them, my child should need pills to calm downwind stay focus. They shouldn't have to live off pills & it my be helping outside but it's hurting there bodies inside.
