Scenario 2 actually happened to a friend of mine. He's a really big guy and this small kid came up to him and started trying to fight him. My friend didn't want to fight so he didn't respond, so the kid kept egging him on until finally my friend kinda shoved him. He got expelled even though there was witnesses to the story. It didn't matter.
Scenario 3 (minus the paddling) happened to my sister. She, however, didn't turn into a zombie, but the Ritalin was making her...weird? maybe a little aggressive or groggy or something. I don't know how to explain it. My mother noticed and decided to test out the drugs my sister was getting on herself. Needless to say, after that, my sister was never on those drugs again and she's fine now.
Thank you guys
