I think everyone I knew as a child, including myself Jake Dotchin Salute to Service Jersey , would have been diagnosed with ADD. There were many afternoons my brother would come home with his clothes torn and his face bloodied as a result of a fight at school. No reports were filed. No police was called.

I remember fondly when recess consisted of wall ball or dodge ball when kids were smashed, pummeled, battered and bruised with balls all over the playground. We were full of energy and aggression Braydon Coburn Salute to Service Jersey , and the adults just accepted it. Even the B.B. gun shoot outs and the rock fights did not brand us as sociopaths.

There were free periods throughout the day when we could run around and expel pent-up energy, because kids were kids.
