What are the most prevalent issues/disorders amoung middle school students?

issues/ disorder examples include abule, violence, suicide, depression, ADHD, etc.

Their focus is on feeling a need for belonging. They seek out others who have similar needs and interests. What kind of "others" they seek out depends on their upbringing and family situation. If they get no nurturing at home, they will click with anyone who will accept them, whether it is a gang or a choir. This age group is just starting puberty where hormones are flooding his system. All the above you mentioned is possible given the situation he/she is in. ADHD is the exception. If it is true ADHD it will show up earlier. However, ADHD has become the "umbrella" diagnosis for any behavior the therapist is not sure about.

suicide

Eatin dissorders, depression, ADD, violence, Abuse, suicide, and wanting to be cool all the time.

As the generations keep coming, all these problems target and attack younger and younger kids each year. Usually this is to blame on the people who surround them and our culture.

Like Morrie Schwartz from the book tuesdays with morrie says, "If the culture doesnt work, dont buy it"
