Adderall: A Fictional Narrative

Billy communicates his acceptance directly in response to Choy’s offer. To ensure a contract, acceptance must be unqualified, clear and certain and communicated to the offeror. In this case, these requirements are satisfied and Billy clearly expresses his acceptance, temporarily giving up his study.

4. Fourth Possible Offer. Dons response of "You can let me know anytime over the next two weeks. Unfortunately, a few of our residents have passed on so we have several openings right now. Just bring your father in after you've talked with your sister." to Peters request to get back with him the next day could be viewed as an offer by Peter. The communication between the two parties have ended with Don expressing his intent to be bound to a contract by giving Peter a timeframe for which to accept the terms of the contract which had been discussed throughout the conversation. Peter could reasonably expect to have the

“What are you waiting for Mrs. Ledgewood-Sealietta? It’s raining. I have umbrellas. You have your men. What more can you ask for?" Charlie said.

Charlie was a happy person. He loved his job and his friends, so I think that it is safe to say he loves his life. After the surgery, he had no one to talk to or anything to do all day. He admits to himself that he can “feel the darkness closing in. It’s hard to throw off thoughts of suicide (Keyes 23).

Three drugs that I will be discussing are Adderall, Vicodin, and Ambien. The drugs all come in pill form. These drugs affect the nervous system and they all share similar symptoms which causes the user to feel dizziness, nausea, and diarrhea. Although they share similarities, they have differences in term of their impact on different body parts. Ambien and Vicodin are both central nervous depressants, which slows brain activity, and Adderall is a stimulant which increases brain activity. All these drugs have different purposes; users take Adderall as a diet pill to lose weight because amphetamine speeds up the body's metabolism and lowers appetite. They take ambien to treat insomnia and use vicodin to relieve moderate to moderately severe

When growing up, nothing is more frustrating then giving your best effort in your school work and continuously being unsuccessful. The effect it can have on a child is very damaging. Students may feel inadequate and non-intelligent in the classroom setting growing up, not to mention, being confused all at the same time about why school is such an ongoing battle for them. Why are these children trying so hard and never having any success? It is more and more common today; more than ever we see children having these problems inside and outside of classrooms all over the world. Attention Deficit Disorder (ADD) and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) can become very problematic in a child’s

Charlie, also has a peculiar speech pattern. Despite being a young teenager, his language is somewhat outdated; and he has a sardonic sense of humor. He shifts from “fancy” vocabulary to a more simple type of speech on a regular basis. In his first letter of Part 4, he describes someone’s face as “ashen”; but he had previously described his family members using the words “nice” and “fat”. Surprisingly simple speech from someone so seemingly contemplative. He, Charlie, is also very “matter-of-fact” about things. He does not say things that he does not believe to be true; and if he’s unsure, he states his ignorance as a fact. This is easy to see in Part 1 when he states, “I am really in love with Sam, and it hurts very much,” like it was an immovable thought or an unchangeable

Whitman had begun using the amphetamine Dexedrine to help him with his studies. Sometimes he went for days without sleep, studying and attending to various projects. Though friends and family generally agreed that Charlie was under strain and trying to do too much, no one noticed he was edging quietly toward violence. As time went on, Charlie became ever more consumed by his fantasies of

Kenny may have difficulty with self-care in terms of medication management, personal grooming and hygiene, and safety awareness. It was reported that Kenny takes Adderall for the attention issues and he needs medication monitoring or he will overuse. He also needs to have prompting for grooming and hygiene. Documentation also reported self-harm (cutting), suicidal threats, and threatening people. All of those behaviors are harmful and unhealthy with potentially negative consequences.

Out of the drugs that are popular in Toledo, heroine and cocaine are two of the most popular to be abused. Although there are many illegal drugs that are popular, one drug popular among many college campuses for abuse is Adderall and although it is prescribed for legal use many abuse it illegally. Because of the popularity among college kids across the nation, I have decided to do research for my third drug report on the effects of Adderall, specifically when abused and not when prescribed. During my research I will look into the physiological impacts of the drug, the psychological impacts of the drug, the possible social impacts of the drug, how many people use the substance, how many people die from this substance, how the drug impacts a

The Clinton foundation reports that between the years 1993 and 2006, the magnitude of college students who use prescription stimulants, such as Adderall and Ritalin, has increased by 93%, which suggests that Adderall usage in universities are at a record high (Clinton 2015). According to the National Institute of health, cognitive enhancing drugs are pharmaceuticals that are taken to improve one’s memory, learning, focus, attention, and other cognitive skills (Mehlman 2004). Adderall is a central nervous stimulant that is prescribed by a primary physician for treating medical conditions such as narcolepsy and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) (Smith). Alan Desantis, a professor at the University of Kentucky, conducted a research

The perspective I would use, as the clinician, for Felix's condition, is cognitive behavioral therapy. I would use CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy) because it’s a short-term, goal-oriented psychotherapy treatment that takes a hands-on, practical approach to problem-solving. The goal of CBT is to change patterns of thinking or behavior that are behind people's difficulties, and so change the way they feel. This would seem like the ideal solution to help Felix battle his troubles with focusing in school and the appearance of irritability and sadness or so depression. Based on this case study I would go ahead and conclude that it seems that Felix has ADHD. Some signs that point to this is his symptoms, which are the inability to

The protagonist of the story is an unnamed male whose experiments with alcohol and weed at fifteen years old lead to harder drugs and greater consequences that threaten his safety and security. For example, the narrator says, “Donny said he saw me standing sorta wonky in the back and said I need a hit. Donny was the first to get me high”, he implies that his friend Donny got him high because of how he was standing. The use of drugs did not just stop at marijuana, the narrator also indulged in alcohol, he goes on saying, “The rest of the kids would watch as Mark and I shotgunned Schlitz beneath the bleachers of the stadium”. Which eventually led to him dropping out if school and focusing on his habits and not his well-being. The protagonist constant influences from his friend and associates increased his use and encouraged the damages that were being done to him and his body. His habits started to heighten and the stronger drugs were amongst him,

Atlas started reading the documents, the terms were bad but could been MUCH I need to be calm or won't be able to do anything "When do I need to move out?" asked Atlas resignedly unclenching his fist and shoulders.
