If you don't believe what those in positions of social authority believe or if you act in ways they disapprove of they attempt to either indoctrinate or medicate your abbrance away.
The earliest is probably primary school where children are over-diagnosed as ADHD (both girls and boys but mostly boys) positive which inevitably leads to anti-depressants (and sometimes but relatively rare psychotic breaks) at some stage which emotionally breaks the subjects as well as halting their proper development in some ways... the link is apparently a dirty little secret.
This happens because instead of treating children as autonomous individuals they are treated like blank slates and the system cannot tolerate defective slates at all, it's just not set up in a way that makes it possible. Also there is the problem that schooling is essentially set up more for girls than boys but the two sexes mature completely differently.
ADHD uppers and anti-depressent downers in combination never ends well especially on a still developing brain
Another problem is PTSD over-medication, remember how a few decades ago police randomly started suiciding their families? At about the same time mental health medication became mandatory in some cases as I recall.
Oh ok, I do agree with you on the over usage of medication for children such as misdiagnosing ADHD and the such like, and I do agree that the schooling system does have an over eagerness to try and make children to conform as they are cramming as many kids into one classroom as possible, and to make it easier for the teachers to cope with it (hence the reason why private schooling is becoming so popular worldwide.
However I just did not make the connection between what you are mentioning above to people being homeless. I think your comments are a bit of a stretch to get from the one thing to the other.
California has a couple of problems with regards to its homelessness and that is its high cost of accommodation, and the influx of people (both from within the US and from the Mexican border, California is unfortunately right on the border of Mexico with basically a large city (San Diego) right on its border (san Diego being one of bigger cities with homeless problems (like LA - 120 miles north of San Diego and San Jose 300 miles north of LA) it is like a straight line up the coast.
P.S: I agree with you on the kid diagnosis thing as my son was "diagnosed" with ADHD when he was in primary school and they wanted to put him on Ritalin, We fought it and told them No he will not go on medication. My wife worked her arse off with him in the evenings to get him focused and trained on time management, and now he is currently doing his Honours in Bsc Comp Sci, no medication needed.
Saying that though my niece was also diagnosed with ADHD and my sister fought for her to not be medicated for a long time but she still battled with trying to get her focused and getting her grades up in school, eventually she put her on Ritalin and the change was immense. She finished varsity last year with a B Comm.
So there is definitely a need for medication however the Doctors should be more stringent in testing and reasoning before just giving out medication (and that goes for all medication)
