Ylimääräistä kohinaa

Ringa is a blabbermouth. She believes that her mother would notice if she were out – because the flat would be so quiet. Ringa is also highly communicative outside the flat. She sends about 1150 SMS a month, and her monthly telephone units are gone after two days. But what adults value as "social competence" is a problem in the case of children. ADHD is the name of the sickness that Ringa has been diagnosed with: attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. Her being overweight is something only the boys from the neighbourhood bring up, when they call out "fat-arse" after her. Ringa's therapists and pedagoges don't put it quite so bluntly: "It’s so important what you think about yourself. Whether you think you`re good, you`re valuable – or that you think you’re bad and not worth anything," is what one teacher says. Ringa's counselor and her socially weak mother also have good advise at hand: the two would be happy if Ringa, the blabbermouth, had a stop button! She doesn't, but they're working on it.
