Well when i was a child I was very hyperactive, and my doctor wanted
to put me on ritilin but back then ritilin was still very new and not well
tested, so my parents didnt want me put on it, so the doctor said the only
alternative was coffee.  It seems that caffine acts as a depressent on
the pre adolesent body. Go figure.  Now my only problem is that Im additcted
to Coffee.
