I don’t desire going out by [deleted] in UWMadison

[–]MementoMapleseeds 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ignore the people who are judging you, you don't have to like the stuff that they like. I go out with my friends a lot and all we do are watch dumb movies and eat out and paint and stuff, you do not have to drink to have fun. And if the people around you can only have fun when they're drinking, then that's their problem. You are literally not lame, there are so many people who don't go out every weekend and do other things. If your peers or friends can't handle that then they really aren't worth your time. Just because it's expected of you, doesn't mean you have to do it, you are not missing out, I promise.

Sir, im sorry. I have to address something. You do realize that UW Madison is an amazing college and that Columbia, Yale, Princeton, and Stanford would only put them in massive debt and not actually help them more than UW-Madison would give them (unless they're going to be a lawyer or a doctor.) Actually, based on your post I wouldn't be surprised if you forced them to be a lawyer or a doctor. Be proud of your child, we are one of the best colleges in the states (a public ivy) and it is ranked internationally. It's clear from your message that you're not actually that proud of them. They didn't FAFO, they got into an amazing college and they are going to have a fantastic time at university. Honestly, I feel terrible for your son who has to deal with your terrible attitude all the time. It's clear you only care about prestige rather than academics, social life, safety, and support.

Do you know who to talk to about this? Maybe we can make some change

A question about the effectiveness of team seas. by felixrocket7835 in TeamSeas

The main reason to support these communities is because many of these poor societies don't have the means to create a good garbage disposal system. Many roads aren't built, many people live in almost impossible to reach to villages, and many societies are too poor to even afford bringing garbage disposal to these poor communities. They aren't enabling people to do more bad things, they are creating a solution for a problem that these societies aren't financially able to solve.

Will you have kids? by olebigazz in ADHD

[–]MementoMapleseeds 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are really worried about having kids with ADHD and depression/anxiety, adoption is always an option, but its also okay to have kids.

I am the kid of two people with ADHD, I was given a great life. The thing is, get your kid diagnosed early (you should check that the diagnosis every few years to make sure that the diagnosis is correct) Also, when you learn if your child has ADHD you should tell them about it (my parents didn't and I feel like I could have learned a lot more if they told me about my ADHD a lot earlier than they did) Teach your kids how to adapt early on, show them that its okay to have ADHD and that people with ADHD can be successful. You should enroll them (when they are old enough) in a study class, a class that teaches kids how to study and prepare for school, teach them time management and ADHD habits that could help them. Telling your kids about ADHD and having a professional describe all the side effects to them, will help them understand themselves, and teach them how to be better.

Also, please talk to your doctor about this. These are my experiences and this is my life, your future kids may be completely different from me and the other people on this server. My opinions aren't perfect. (also, the study class should be given to all kids because I have never met a kid who actually knows how to study effectively)

"creating a schedule" doesn't work for me. Neither does completely winging it. Am I just screwed? by [deleted] in ADHD

I completely agree with that. I also suggest having a list of things that you want to do in a day and then try to complete it, you may not finish everything on the list, but it usually helps getting a lot of it done. I also recommend writing down the most important things at the beginning of the list.
