Truth be told, there aren't many people you can trust in this world. Especially when it comes to children, parents are always very cautious and careful about who their child can meet. The world we live in today is extremely different from the one we lived in a few decades ago. Together with traditions and culture; technology has taken over everything. Technology has become the root cause of major changes in everything we know today. Parenting has also become a target of technology. But amid all these changes, doctors seem to be kept in place of the professionals that parents still trust and rely on wholeheartedly today, even though medical research and technology are completely new when it comes to diagnosing and prescribe medications. Surprisingly, you may find it very difficult to realize that even though doctors are trusted so blindly, they continue to prescribe to children a drug that comes from the same class and chemical compound as cocaine. Drugs that have the same chemical compound as a narcotic are known as class 2 drugs. Knowing that class 2 drugs have the same classification as cocaine, morphine, and amphetamines, doctors in America continue to prescribe these drugs to children between the ages of 5 and 17 simply because of the behavioral problems at school and at home that parents continue to claim their children have. Has the use of technology and the use of quick fixes taken over the way we view parenting? It can be hard to realize that this might be the case today! Parents are so used to the quick and easy fixes of 2014 that they have forgotten that their children are still human beings and not apps that can be silenced or manipulated via drugs.
