    It’s less like an oil change and more like brain surgery.

    Health, that is not accurate because any substance prescribed by a doctor is considered medication, while any substance used to “self medicate” is considered to be abused, even if it has the same effect.

    As a former child, I believe it should be the child’s decision.

    You can’t prevent your child from doing anything. Your child is a separate person from you.

    If a child is not doing well in a modern school, that should not be considered a symptom of any problem with the child. Children were not designed to be placed in such a setting.

    The Muggle version of Bertie Bott’s doesn’t have every flavor, and it comes with a chart so that you can identify the flavors you have without tasting them.

    A product review is not a merchant review. Use the product review to describe your experience with the product; if applicable, leave a seller rating based on your experience of the transaction as a whole. If there is a shipping error or damage to the product, contact the seller or customer service team before rating either the seller or the product.

    DC, if so, can you explain the difference between Chabad and Christianity? The way you describe it, it sounds like there might not be one.

    OTD and at risk can overlap, but they are not at all synonymous. A teen who fully believes in the Torah but gets caught up in a bad crowd and abuses drugs is at risk. A person who was born into a frum family but becomes secular is OTD, even if he is stable and successful.

    No. We are supposed to do it; we aren’t supposed to be unaffected. Killing someone in self defense is like cutting off one’s arm in order to save one’s life. It’s the right thing to do, but it still causes permanent damage.

    The Torah doesn’t say that one doesn’t get PTSD after killing in self defense.

    It is humiliating to the children whose parents are poor, which makes it unjustified. Extortion can be viewed, loosely, as a type of stealing.

    Captain, I don’t want to know where you’re going with this, but they are much harder to farm in the winter or any other season compared to flowers. None of the gardening stores near me even have airplane seeds.

    Andrethegiant, many types of trauma can be prevented or minimized. Measures to prevent abuse can keep it from happening. Also, though PTSD was once commonly believed to happen mainly from a single traumatic incident, it has become more apparent that it can also result from prolonged exposure to a traumatic situation, such as ongoing harassment, in which case it can be prevented by taking the person out of the situation instead of telling them to tough it out.

    Grey matter, why should I be responsible for the definition of intelligence? Following the common definition, attention span should be considered a factor of intelligence, because it is necessary in order to acquire knowledge or skills.

    If you lose your ears but still hear, does that make you immune to ear infections? Can you implant an extra pair of eyes where your ears used to be? Can you replace the smartphones with tablets or iPod Touch?

    “Could care less” is worse than speaking a local dialect.
