When you think of your child having attention deficit hyperactivity disorder‚ do you automatically think of a lifetime of your child popping pills? Medication isn’t always the answer to treating ADHD‚ a neurobehavioral disorder that causes problems with attention‚ impulsivity and overactivity‚ according to the National Resource Center on AD/HD.

When a tree falls in the forest‚ does it make a sound? Ladies and gentlemen‚ and the class of 2016‚ I can definitely assure you that it does. But what is the purpose of worrying about what a silly tree sounds like when it meets its demise? The noise it makes is irrelevant to the bigger picture‚ the falling of one great tree provides room for multiple new saplings to grow in its place. As time goes on‚ this cycle continues and eventually the forest is full of what was once a bunch of young‚ flexible

I would like to inform you about the biggest heavy weight fight that occur in our history. The two contenders were the United States of America and the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Both parties had a lot invested and prepared well for this bout. Who would strike the first blow? In 1957‚ the Soviets set up a knock-out and launched their first blow with the Sputnik. The Soviets continue to pull ahead of the scorecards by launching the Sputnik II with a larger payload and a dog named Laika.

“Redskins” This article has an impact on all of us. I don’t agree that the word ‘Redskins’ should be banned in the state of California. If this ban would travel around the world‚ a lot of schools would have to change their name. Our school has the Redskins name and for the name Redskins to be banned‚ we would have to change the name of our school. I don’t know why people are offended by this particular word‚ there are so many other problems in the world that we should be focusing on. People are whining

I can’t stand it here right now‚ everything is against us Jews‚ people blame us for things that weren’t even our fault. We get blamed for diseases like the plague even though we have no control over anything. As if it wasn’t already bad enough we aren’t allowed to have our own religion‚ we are forced to be Christians like the rest. I have so much fear for my family and I because if they find that we are falsely praising the christian religion we would be exiled. We wished to have own land to grow

Opening day isn’t even here yet‚ and already we have enough controversy to last us the whole season. At a time when we’d much rather be thinking about the smell of fresh cut grass‚ hot dogs and pennant dreams‚ we’re forced to deal with a far darker issue. Now more than ever‚ there is alarming suspicion concerning apparent steroid drug use in Major League Baseball. As an avid baseball watcher and player of the game for twelve years this scandal is of great concern to me. In the time to come I will

When and where are they going? Would you like to travel into outer space or even go the moon? Many people dream of space travel‚ but you can ’t just fly there in a jet plane. Jet engines work by using oxygen from the air to burn their fuel. And of course there is little or no oxygen in space depending on where you ’re headed. Fuel cannot burn without oxygen. The only kind of engine that will work in space is called a rocket engine. This is because it carries its own oxygen supply. This is also where

Abortion By‚ Amber Au October 15‚ 2009 Mrs. Maresh‚ A* Do you value your life? Or do you take it for granted? Babies who are aborted don’t have a choice to live or not. Why must selfish people decide for the ones who are innocent and valuable? Abortion must be stopped before we kill the lives that matter the most. God gave everyone the gift of life. How can someone have the audacity to take it away from a baby? For the better or the worse‚ the mother should be considerate and do the right
