Dear Mom and Dad,
This is your troubled teen, 10 years into the future. I know you are questioning whether you should send me to a treatment program or not. I know it's a difficult decision and you don't know what to do. I am here to tell you that you already made the right decision. You got me the help I desperately needed and you saved my life. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart.
You know that I am having some problems. But you don't know how bad. You think I might be slipping in school, but it's much worse than that. You think that I might have tried some soft drugs, but it's much worse than that. You think I drink at parties, but it's worse than that . You don't know how much trouble I am going through now, and that secretly inside I am begging for help. I am scared though, scared to ask for help because I dug myself so deep I don't know what to do. If I ask for help I will get in trouble and have to stop my behavior, but I am an addict now and can't willingly choose to end this on my own.
It's up to you, my loving parents. If you make the right decision right now my life will be saved, and 10 years from now my life will be wonderful and I will be harvesting the fruit of your fateful decision, a decision you are about to make. If you make the wrong decision I will follow a path of self destruction that only ends in incarceration or my premature death. If I could I would come to you and ask, I would beg for the help that I know I desperately need. But I can't ask you for help, Mom and Dad, the choice is left to you. It's time for you to make your decision. Please make the right decision, Mom and Dad, because my existence is dependent on you choosing to help me and not ignore the signs you know are there. I love you so much Mom & Dad, and I am so sorry for what I put you through. Thank you for saving my life, I will always be eternally grateful for your sacrifice and forethought.
Love,
Your teenage Child
Great post, Suck It....
There is a definite line in the sand here. Why I don't know anymore because none of this bitching makes any sense really.
You folks who had a rough horrible time while you were in a program seem to think that you have the moral right to demean, disrespect, demoralize, oppress, violate privacy and dismiss any post (Poster) that you want to.
All on the grounds, that I don't like what your saying and if I don't like what your saying, then you are a phony.
Folks your behavior is predictable.
