Question by Gracelynn: What kind of issues do child and adolescent psychiatrists deal with?
I was just wondering, if this is what I want to do with my life, what kind of issues i would be dealing with everyday. I know that I would deal with children that have OCD, ADHD, have been abused, have eating disorders, PTSD, etc., but what else would I deal with? I would really appreciate an answer from someone who is a child and adolescent psychiatrist, but all input is appreciated!

Adolescent: Double standards?

Parenting-N-Families — Wed, 19 May 2010 18:45:28 +0000

Tonight I was wanting to go to the movies by myself, & meet w/ friends later. So I ask my dad and he just tells me no, so I kinda keep on pushing asking him why. He basically tells me no, because I’m a girl. So I go on to tell him it shouldn’t matter if I’m a girl, I’m 16 & old enough to take care of myself for at least three and a half hours. So he tells me “Your not going unless your brother’s going”, who just happens to be 14. My mom was siding with me…

Why do people have to be douchebags and delete harmless questions?

Parenting-N-Families — Mon, 17 May 2010 18:45:12 +0000

Half of the retarded questions stay up, bost most of the joking questions get deleted in less than five minutes. It’s not like it’s hurting you! Troll answers I can see being deleted, but why the questions? If you’re going around deleting questions think to yourselves, ‘Are my questions about raising my adolescent child?’ If not, you have NO reason to delete them.
Also, if it’s a joking question trolls don’t want you to answer like this:

Answerer 1: Troll.
Answerer 2: They see you trollin’ they hatin!

IT’S NOT ORIGINAL. It was funny the first time…

Product Description
Though recent legislation embedded with the No Child Left Behind Act and the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act mandates the use of evidence in school-based practice to demonstrate positive outcomes for all students, school social workers – especially those long out of school – often lack the conceptual tools to locate, evaluate, and apply evidence in order to demonstrate the effectiveness of their work. The first of its kind tailored specifically to this audience, this SSAAA Workshop title guides school professionals in infusing research throughout their daily practice.

Should single adults be able to adopt?

Parenting-N-Families — Wed, 12 May 2010 18:45:02 +0000

I just saw a short news segment on adoption, with many people saying that single adults should not be put high on the list when it comes to adoption…wouldn’t it be better for a child to be adopted into a loving home with either one or two parents, rather than staying in foster care for their adolescent life? What do you think?

Parenting-N-Families — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 18:45:21 +0000

A long time ago…in a reality far far away I did a silent hill roleplay with a group of unique individuals. It was the only group role-play I ever did where I was successfully in with other talented writers. It was focused on Silent Hill. It was called Silent Hill: Heaven Metaron. I pretty much played the only adolescent/child in the group among adults. So I got the chance of playing the girl that was equivalent to Alyssa and Heather, the lost youth. I made two soundtracks for my…
