OK, I sense progress here. The reason, point, etc... for my question was based on an observation I have made over the many years since my experience in STRAIGHT, INC. Most all of the survivors of that program that I know or have talked to have not informed their bosses about their stints in the program. I find it rather odd that a place that is SO successful according to the program staff, parents, etc... would not be mentioned by a successful graduate applying for a job. I know people who have flat out lied about their "treatment" in order to get jobs, etc... Is it so shameful and embarrassing to tell the truth? What is the harm? If PFC is so great at fixing kids drug problems, then why does it not make sense to use that accomplishment on an application for employment?
This is not against you, I am merely making an observation here that even in PFC, people are still not willing to disclose this feat of graduation to people out in the real world, ie prospective bosses. Amongst fellow clients, it is no problem talking about graduation, how much pain one endured, who killed themselves, etc etc... but, once clients deal with people in the real world, it's a different set of rules. It is the cultish nature of the program, I suppose, do you agree?
Just for goodness's sake,
When you post vile comments in a forum full of survivors of STRAIGHT and its spinoffs and predecessors, you are just adding insult to injury, creating problems that should never exist, and basically causing a lack of interest in coming here to read it. It's fine if you want to promote PFC, you may be in the minority though.
Not a sermon, just a thought... ::cheers::
