"do people really chastise you for have a horrible experience??? hmmm...i mean...i really dont agree with everything they did...the methods and as i have stated in other posts it wasnt a magical experience but i would never chastise anyone for their opinion.
one question though...how many of the people with horrible experiences ran or left the program early...how many acted up and did things to get thrown out/restrained etc.?
i dont want to judge...just trying to get a feel of the persons who hate...and threaten burning and death on certain persons. :grin: "
Some us were too scared to run, or act up or do anything to get restrained. Some of us wound up catatonic from sheer shock. Why? Because one day, we were normal kids... the next thing we knew, we were exiled from our homes, taken out of school, forbidden to read so much as a milk carton or listen to the morning news, forbidden to look a person in the eye, and denied basic privacy to take a shit in peace. .. because somehow, in some super paranoid "adult" infinite wisdom, that was a way to treat a "drug problem"... a drug problem that the majority of us didn't have.
Yeah, that probably sounds like denial to you. The sheer
fact is -- many
problems were concocted in two ways:
1) by family and staff and pro-peers, for reasons we're still awaiting, and
2) by the kids involved -- primarily in an effort to
appease those family members, staff and pro-peers -- in desperation to get the fuck away from the insanity!
