Quote From: tammyo1973Excuse me when you say kids fight thats normal?? Is it normal for a 14 year old TEENAGER to choke a 3 YEAR OLD toddler??
I do not think so.
My daughter is not just your average "hormonal teen" so before you go telling me that I should not have her on meds you should live my life.
Is it normal for teenagers to cut themselves 40 times? Is it normal for 12-14 year old sto attempt suicide? Is it normal for a 14 year old to see a little boy and a little girl calling her name? Is it normal for a 14 year old to feel "someone" tapping her on the back while she is trying to sleep?
I know ALL the risks to medications and my daughter is now NOT attempting suicide.
She was attempting suicide and self mutilating BEFORE she was put on meds.
Believe me when I tell you meds was my last resort. Not everyone needs them but not everyone can function without them.
Medication is not the answer. Course its not normal. But you know if you train up a child right you do not have these problems. What do most children watch and play now a days? How much time do parents spend with their kids? And has anyone ever heard of PRAYER?? Guess what, IT WORKS!!
