now everything has to be on medication. i guess you have to blame it on some disease or some brain chemical malfunction.
It sure doesn't look like everyone paid attention in class, did you maybe skip some English classes? I for one have been greatly helped by being on medication and wish someone would have given me that option when I was younger. As mentioned before, just because you've never experienced something doesn't mean you know what's going on in someone else's head. I would bet that there were more than a few kids in your classes who were having trouble staying focused that got labeled as problem kids.
And at the very least could you hit the 'shift' key every now and then and capitalize the beginning of your sentences, show us that you learned something when you were paying attention in class.
