Ritalin

You got into the honor program without the drugs so you certainly don't need to do ANY drugs!

If you're in the honor program I would think that you have been already been considered for some scholarships that are sponsored by your community . . . But don't forget you should be researching and applying for outside scholarships too.

how the hell do drugs raise your marks?

take it i also heard heroin works a treat

cant you not just work hard like the rest of the population

look hun, you dont need a drug to make you smarter, you are already smart. Im twelve too and if you are in an honours program you are smart. The kids that need to take drugs to wake up their brain are dumb.
And if you ever think you need the pills you do because you are stupid to think such a thought. Does that make sense?

Most people don't really need those sort of drugs at all... They're overperscribed.

You're clearly a smart kid. I wouldn't worry about drugs at all.

Even though it is listed as not normal Ritalin and other stimulant use such as Dextroamphetamines are commonly used by highschool students. It is very common for people to use these drugs. Its not healthy but it is common.

My father is a doctor and he told me in med school lots of people used these drugs. They do help your concentration significantly. My friend who is getting his masters in Physics uses them when he really needs to study.

MOAR DRUGAS! MORE DRUGS = SMRTER! U WILL BE BETTAR THEN ALL OF THE OTHAR KIDZ CUZ U TAKE DRUGS AND UR LIKE OMFG I AM SO SMART I AM SO SMART! DRUGS!

Ritalin, like for example caffeine, has rather unspecific results. It can keep you awake, but it can also destroy your sleeping patterns, not to mention other possible side-effects. Being awake and concentrated are not the same thing, as well - you can push yourself far enough to study the whole night, but it's questionable how much you will remember the day after. Rather than drugs I'd suggest looking into learning and time-management strategies - both work as well and won't damage your health.

Hey. People here are idiots. Ritalin has been shown to increase focus and concentration. Caffeine has also been shown to increase the rate at which neurons in the brain fire, and so possibly could lead to better memorization, not to mention it keeps you awake. Drugs can make you do better. Many of my friends used them all through high school and university.

That said, they all eventually burnt out. If you get good at things naturally, you can go as far as you want. If you dope your way through university, it's my experience that you completely fall apart in about your third year. So as long as you don't plan on going farther than that, you're fine.

You don't need drugs to get through life or to do better in life.

You can improve the quality of your life and your ability to concentrate by taking care of yourself (eating healthy, getting adequate sleep, exercising daily, drinking lots of water, etc). Please consider investing your time and energy in the list I have provided above instead of investing your money in drugs.

YEEAAAHHHH !!! drugs r F*ckin' awsome. Definetly do some drugs... but only if ur prepared to drop out of skool, and become a Park Ave Hooker. LOOK, usually i make rude, and sarcastic comments, but this time i'm actually gonna give u words of wisdom, so pay attention, cuz they dont come out very often. if ur looking to up ur grades, drugs (no matter wat kind, even perscription drugs) are for the weak, those people that can't deal with life, and need something to escape from it. If Your at point A and u need to get to point B and so on, then cut everybody out of ur life thats gonna bring u down. If u cant gain anything from them, then GET THE F*CK RID OF THEM. I'am being serious. U go infront of any mirror (alone) and u look at ur self, and i mean take a good look, stair into ur eyes, take a deep breathe and say "I am me, not you, I do this not for you, I do this for me, I am ... (insert your name)" (repeat it as many times as nessicary) and i garuntee u will feel relaxed and ready to take on the world without any drugs, and later on when ur ready, Drugs are good. Peace

If you need drugs to get good marks, then you shouldn't be in honors.

NO. You probably don't even have A.D.D., and you got into the program without drugs. Why need them now? Listen, there ARE a few folks out there who really do need that stuff, but most of the folks taking them nowadays don't. I doubt you do.

Yes they do WORK!!! but youll pay the price later!!!!!

yeah, ive taken aderall ( idk how 2 spell it) and it really really helped me concentrate for abt an hour and a half. I dont think u need drugs tho...they just help sometimes
