Why does this suprise anyone?... we live in a world where we take absolutely no responsibility for anything. The moment something is wrong or we cant deal with things, we like to believe that there is something out of our control that makes life difficult and instead of being responsibile for that, we take medication to make it look like we are made better by it.

Its no different with our kids, we dont want to admit they are lazy and unwilling to put forth any effort so we make excuses like A.D.D, hypertension, depression to compensate for them being little shits
