They Call Me Cookie to My Face

I was talking with a friend the other day. Really intelligent guy. He has a 7 year old nephew who is having problems concentrating in school. So like every other kid who can't sit still a psychiatrist has suggested he has ADHD and prescribed medication. While I find this disturbing I am no longer surprised. It seems like everyone has ADD, ADHD, PTSD, and OPP. Wait, that last one though. Anyway what set off alarms was when  he went on to say that his 7 year old nephew was also diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder. And another one. Yes. Another over-diagnosed and mis-understood MOOD DISORDER. Not to be confused with Multiple Personality Disorder which is now called Dissociative Identity Disorder and is a DISSOCIATIVE DISORDER (meaning one breaks from reality by producing personas). Ok so let me get this straight. A 7 year old kid, an under-developed man child that has only been on this earth for 7 years lacks the ability to control his emotions.

Everyone has their posts or blogs about haters. How they really admire you and all of that. I just wanted to put my 2 cents in about the psychological frustrations that haters face every day... in the mind of the hater: *cue trippy music* ...BECAUSE OF YOU!!! You selfish self-loving person. How dare you progress, be happy, help your enemies. Why aren't you bitter and ashamed? If you were really a good person you would succumb to despair and hatred and fall in line with the rest of the haters. You'd spend your work days combing through your co-workers tasks looking for mistakes; you'd watch your neighbors roses grow and imagine them bursting into flame, you'd would tell your best friend that her boyfriend ain't shit cuz you ain't got one. But what do you do? You make yourself better...you...you...confident human being!! I HATE YOU -Sincerely a Hater And while said haters are composing this hate mail in their minds their own tasks are laid to w...

There are alot of children in this country going hungry, being neglected and severely abused. A good many of them are in my family. There seems to be a major hush hush about it in certain communities. Some of it can be attributed to matrial piety ( i just made this term up) but I will address that in another and more raw post. Today I saw and read an article on a father and son video on face book. The father was disciplining his son about respecting his elders. In a boxing match he busted his lip and bloodied his nose. He didn't die or need medical attention.While it is juvenile and short sighted to post the ordeal on face book I cannot deny that a good punch in the face sometimes does the trick. Is it abuse?  I've seen abuse first hand. Abuse is when someone fulfills their own emotional needs in harming another. Abuse happens out of anger and sometimes mental illness. There are alot of unaddressed issues in many communities that have somehow become culture. This culture...
