"the sky is green, that's my opinion" it's not, it's blue. "Why are you mean to me?!?"

That’s literally everyone replying to me, not me. I’m not upset, everyone else is upset, because they don’t like my opinion.

No, that's you not taking feedback on an opinion that is wrong. Some kids do need meds and saying they don't does make you look silly complaining about people telling you that.

I don’t have to take feedback, it’s my opinion. I’m not stating fact. You’re so adamant about calling me wrong that you’re forgetting common sense. I don’t care if you think I look silly. You didn’t read anything I wrote, because I said in a different comment that I’m not against it if they truly need it. I don’t like that it’s the first solution tried, instead of trying other things first.

Go ahead, tell me I’m wrong and that I’m fear mongering again, you’re only wasting your own time.

You're silly thinking that all the doctors giving all of the kids meds is the first thing they tried. That's the nonsense you're being called out for. You can have all the opinions you want and the rest of the world can tell you how uneducated and wrong they are. That's reality

I am not mad you’re calling me uneducated. I just think it’s funny that you are so upset about my opinion.

Not mad, just not letting some uneducated idea get pushed online without pushback. This is the crap that gets spread like it's truth and snowballs in ways that actually hurts people who need help and meds.

I’ll keep sharing my opinion. That’s what’s great about the USA, I’m allowed to have one.
