Stop giving our kids so many drugs
Recently, I told the state of South Carolina Representatives Committee that the drug problem we have is fed by the school system. No person from the Horry County school district was at this meeting representing the district.
Our children are unhappy. This leads to stomach aches, headaches, depression, anxiety, restlessness, despair and to mental illness. Our children are reaching out for help. Please hear them.
Solution: Quit feeding children Adderall. Give children recess and age-appropriate curricula.
"When I was a child, I spake as a child, I thought as a child, I understood as a child. When I became a man, I put away childish things." Even the Bible tells you that children are not little adults.
Tell Greg Hembree, Luke Rankin, Tom Rice, Tim Scott, and Lindsey Graham that we need new legislation, and that they need to fix it. They are responsible.
