As I have said before, I believe that thoughtful people can disagree. I think everyone has expressed good points, and we all speak from from the heart based on our own background.

Red, my experience leads me to believe what you have expressed to be true. I think things/people have evolved/changed, some for the better and some for the worse. One thing my experience has shown me is that, many folks (kids and adults) accept little responsibility for their behavior. We have evolved to a point that we must put a label everything. ADHD, PTSD, OCD, ASD, MDD, SAD, PPD, PDD, LD, MR......on and on and on. Please don't think I a saying that these things don't exist, I know they do and some are very debilitating; however, everytime someone makes a mistake, breaks the law, or fails in school is not because they have a disorder.

I believe that we may have allowed reasons to become excuses far too often.
IMHO

PS....I also believe in the words of Mother Teresa...."People are unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered. Love them anyway."
