183151, i work in a school that is 97% black. your statement is not true. Posted by KiloMcG, Mon Nov-02-15 03:08 PM
there are plenty of students here diagnosed with a mental health disorder, including adhd (especially).
i would go as far as to argue that black children are MORE likely to be diagnosed with a mental health condition or disorder, but in some cases there are more risk factors present, with poverty being a huge one. and no, i'm not saying all black kids live in poverty, but in my school district most of them do and poverty is a huge risk factor for mental health issues.
