"A girl in the dorm tried to have sex with me"-Big deal.Never had an unwanted advance before?I'll bet you 90% of the free world has.
"On several occasions I was put in solitary confinement (the corner) for no good reason at all for days on end. People screaming/cursing in my face constantly; people spitting in my face; people crushing my self-esteem and confusing me with regard to my identity."
- Jesus, you are dramatic, lol.Corner? big deal.Morons screaming? Umm. I have had BOSSES who screamed louder and with REAL CONSEQUENCES!AND IF YOUR IDENTITY WAS CONFUSED YOU WERE A REALLY WEAK SPECIMEN IN THE FIRST PLACE!
"And let?s not forget the strip searches, watching people get the shit beat out of them"
-I never ONCE saw anyone get the shit beat out of them, lol.
"censored mail and phone calls, and sleep deprivation. The list goes on, but I can?t remember everything right now. "
-Big deal. Someone listened to your call.Sleep deprived?I slept ok. Your lazy ass need more than 8 hours sleep?Welcome to the real world.
I went into élan as a young girl who hated my parents and hated authority, but really had no other issues (no sex, drugs, violence or dropping out of school). Then I was imprisoned for 3 years for these ?crimes? without due process. "
-If you had 'no other issues' it would not have taken you 3 YEARS to get out lolololol!!!
Normal people just go with the flow and do what they have to do and are not overly dramatic (see above
"So, I start doing drugs, having sex and I couldn?t trust anyone. I was afraid to make friends and afraid to have a boyfriend. I never even told anyone about my experience in élan until recently. I was definitely more messed up when I got out of Elan than I was when I went in. "
-HAHAHAHA THIS IS THE COUP DE GRACE!!!!!IT'S NOBOY'S FAULT BUT YOUR OWN THAT YOU BECAME A SLUTTING DRUG LOSER!
You were VERY OBVIOUSLY crazy before Elan, sorry.
Howcome I just did what I needed to, got out, went to college, gott a great job pretty much without incident.
I do the occasional party night with the other normals lol, everything in moderation.
I never 'blame things ' on Elan like "Oh my god, I can't trust terrorists!! BECAUSE I WENT TO ELAN!!"Or "Oh no, I had a bad boyfriend BECAUSE I WENT TO ELAN!!"
Jesus.
Damaged is as dameged does,you were this wasy WAY before you got senrt to this silly place.
If you were not a basket case, elan would NEVER have affected you this way.
Sorry but it s true.
