For and Against

ADHD-
Are children being overmedicated for attention deficit hyperactivity disorder?

I feel that some kids are overmedicated but it all depends on the child and the symptoms that child has. If the child has severe symptoms then the doctor and the parent should talk about medications that can help him/her, but if the child's symptoms aren't that severe the doctor and the parent should talk about different ways to help the child learn to control the symptoms or help the child with those symptoms.

Alcoholism-
Is alcoholism caused by a lack of willpower?

To me the answer is no because i feel that alcoholism is an illness that people need help to stop. Willpower can play a roll to certain people but i feel that it is an addiction and an addiction to me is an illness that needs to be treated by going to some place like rehab.

Divorce-
Should laws be enacted that make divorce harder to obtain?

I feel that creating laws to make divorce harder to get will only cause problems with Thousands of people in America because if someone is unhappy in their marriage then they shouldn't be married anymore.

Drunk Driving-
Should tougher DUI laws be enacted?

I feel that there should be tougher DUI laws because driving under the influence of alcohol is killing not just teenagers or young adults but innocent people who are nearby. Having tougher DUI laws would make people not want to drive under the influence knowing that there are tougher conciquences, which would save lives.

Standardized Tests-
Are standardized tests the best way to measure how well a school is doing?

I feel that it is not the best way because there are many students who are excellent in class but are bad test takers. For those kids it isn't fair to have to take a test that makes or breaks their school career which then hurts the schools reputation.
