Using adderall for the ACT? would my mom care

[vichick]

ok so i know that you normally wouldn't ask your mom for adderall but she works with a doctor that prescribes her anything she needs. the act is coming up soon so it would be hard to find it at school or whatever...my mom isnt really uptight but shes not really laid back either..do you think she would care if i explained what i wanted to use it for? or should i just try to find some from someone else?

First of all, why would you take a medication that is not prescribed for you? And not only that, but ask your mother to risk her job just so you could cheat (on medication) to maybe get a better score?

Do you realize that Adderall is abused more by people who don't have a prescription for it than the people who do? I don't think so. Not only is the doctor your mother works for being ethically irresponsible (by prescribing any medication just by being asked and not because there is a serious diagnosis), but you're being irresponsible by trying to cheat.

Go to study groups, study on your own time and use practice tests.
