some of the batkids and their private school uniform experiences

Steph: not a single part of her uniform is adhering to the dress code but somehow, she gets away with it. every time. what do you mean? you can't dress code her! That's her dead grandmother's necklace! skirt rolled? no, it just came like that!

Dick: I mean, it's pretty neat. his tie is tied, his shirt is tucked in and ironed, his blazer is on (most of the time) but uh....he never buttons up his shirt all the way. congrats! its discowing but in a dress-shirt form!

Duke: His uniform is on point, but his shoes are the most insane shit you have ever seen. 'black leather only' dress code then he pulls up with the most atrocious beat-up yellow Converse. half the time they don't match.

Cass: she can't be bothered tucking in her shirt half the time, and most of her dress-code moments are from her hair. if it touches your collar, its meant to be in a ponytail but...also badges. not necessarily on her person, but on her schoolbag definitely.

I occasionally see the idea of a "normal jeff au" where Jeff never became a killer and was just a regular dude

and usually these aus just have it where the incident with Randy never happened and Jeff just continued to live out his life normally. Now that idea is cool and interesting but i had a thought, what if Jeff's a normal dude AFTER the incident. Like instead of his mom going immediately to the idea of a late abortion she gets help for her son and he goes back to being a (slightly) normal kid, so you just got this 15 yr old in highschool looking like a half dead corpse doing algebra and running track or whatever kids do edrfgfdfvgb what would life be like for Jeff i wonder, would kids continue to treat him harshly or would everyone be afraid of Jeff? Or would they just pity what he gone through or just treat him normally. How would his family life be affected by the events of Randy.

Really loose comment here so please do additional reading if anyone is curious about addiction.

Academically and medically, addiction can actually be a really flexible term among different professional fields. But let's focus on Psychology for now!

In recent years, literature has shifted to harm reduction and generally a more compassionate perspective on "process addictions". This process is usually defined as dysfunctional dependence to a behavior where a person refuses or is unable to stop taking a substance despite negative outcomes occuring.

This is a GREAT direction because it means addiction is not a moral or substance-only issue but pushes professionals to ask "WHY" or "WHAT" is keeping an addiction around even though it obviously harms the person i.e., there's a benefit, they feel there's no better choice, historical issues etc. Which also means we don't focus on reducing the substance but helping the person first.

The other more familiar addiction we usually hear comes from good old substance addiction. Certain substances out there have been known to alter brain chemistry and potentially lead to dependence i.e., street drugs (very big generalization, there is no single cause of addiction). If your doctor was warning that ADHD meds might be addictive, they're likely trying to say "we need to monitor you regularly so the meds can help you with as little side effects as possible because studies have shown this does some potentially annoying stuff to your brain if we don't detect early".

Personally, I feel like your doctor delivered that pretty badly and it just sounds very fear-inducing. Especially since ADHD meds can have so many forms of delivery ("on-demand" dosing for example can be easily mistaken as process addiction). They could have and should have done better to talk with you about your concerns and questions.

Lasltly, we are usually exposed to addiction in destructive and severe forms such as alchoholism-related violence (media, ads, even PSAs). But working and preventing addiction can be really hard to grapple because (when done right), it's less about looking for a person compulsively taking medication and more about how adding this entirely new substance in your life might affect that person in little ways (mood, socializing, usual life routines).

It doesn't help when the professional in charge isn't explainig further than "this can be addictive" because now it feels like the person is labeled a risk just for trying to help themselves after probably a really long and difficult chain of interviews, diagnoses, paperwork and monitoring.

How was my doctor like "okay we'll try ADHD medication but we gotta be careful cause it's addictive" when I'm going through my day like "shit I forgot my meds. Shit I forgot my meds. Shit I forgot my meds. Shit I f
