I would venture to guess that there is a large number of kids that are taking Ritalin or similar drugs when they clearly shouldn't be.
I was in this crowd for a while when I was younger. I don't think it's Ritalin that is the problem, rather it's the stigma attached to it and the fact that it is over-prescribed. It also has a tendency to mess with your body chemistry. I know I suffered from extreme insomnia while I was taking it and had to have a reduced dosage because of it.
