I don't like when people say that kids with disorders just had bad parenting. My relatives claim I just wasn't raised right and needed more spankings and I would have behaved, but they don't understand what it's like to have an emotional eruption. I had these episodes until I was a teen, and occasionally today I still have an outburst.

I should have been medicated back then, and some kids need it, but some kids do not.

And yes, labels are horrible, I mean, I'm afraid to tell my future employers I'm schizoaffective for example... they would probably find a reason to fire me, stuff like that. I dunno, maybe in the future treat the symptoms but don't give them a name?
