darling, i just wanted you to know that i just researched this god awful school your parents sent you to and i'm so, so sorry. do you think writing your parents a letter, calling them or visiting them in person would do the most good? please try to escape. if you find out any time you are free or have any tips about how we can rescue you, please let me know. i was thinking during one of the field trips.. we could snatch you away.. somehow. when do you go on break? don't let them brainwash you. you're a strong girl and do not belong at this school. you are so creative and awesome and however many problems they tell you you have.. fuck it. they clearly don't know shit if they think the best thing for a kid is not letting them say when they are unhappy and monitering what they say.
i love you. stay strong.

Miss (name edited),
How far did you actually think you were going to get with this??? How will you be able to get away from campus now that you are on staff escort? Although you might not admit it, you have more privileges than most who have been in your similar situation. But instead of making the most of your time here, and respecting the rules of HLA, you continue to be dishonest and sneaky, thus imposing on yourself harsher consequences. Simply put, YOUR CHOICES are making this place the therapeutic robot rehab hell you claim it to be. (You're so vivid in your description...)
Because of the actions of you and your friends, you may have now lost several privileges that you were still actually trying to get back, including communicating with peers at the appropriate time. And to the friends who are reading this post...I'm sure she'll be thinking of you while on restrictions.
Smooches!

by the way, i think sarcasm is an EXCELLENT method to get kids to listen to you and not just build up resentment. it really makes them respect you.
why are you at this school? to "help" kids? or to have your head shoved farther up your ass and get some sort of sense of power from degrading others? did someone beat you up in high school?
(name edited) is one of the most talented kids i know and i'm sorry you have to brainwash her and take her away from the people who actually care about her and know whats best for her.

Here are more recent posts from that girl...she did not stay on restriction nor run away
Hello Everyone.
The past few months have been very hectic.
I'm sorry if i worried you or made you anxious, although i'm sure i'm giving myself too much credit.
No need to worry anymore. I made the decision to stay and i'm sticking to it.
I weighed out my options and realized that i need to finish school and make a future for myself.
I'm in an amazing phase of my life right now. I'm working on my drug dependency and i attend AA twice a week. I've been sober for 6 months and i've never felt more alive.
Being away from home is a struggle. Working on my drug addiction is even more of a struggle. Yeah, i'm unhappy sometimes... but aren't we all? It's natural to be unhappy sometimes right? I can honestly say that i'm a lot less unhappy than i was 6 months ago, which is saying a lot.
I think about you guys all the time and worry about your health.
Please make good decisions and take care of yourselves.
I want to see you all when i get home in May of 2006.
peace,
emily.

bonjour.
so, i go home on july 29th for two days.
fancy that.
i think the only person i am allowed to see is adam.
he has been most supportive of me through this.
things are good. i went on vacation with my brother to st. vincant and the grenadines (they are islands.)
north carolina is bad ass.
i heard from my mother that kristin is 5 months sober. i pray to god that this is true and if it is, then i am glad that we seperated because we are both doing better apart.
someday things will be different.
yes, i desperatly want to get high and each day is a struggle.
i can't wait for july and hardcore shopping and hardcore adam seeing.
i love you all and hope you are well.
-Emily
p.s. francesco and will shapen up so i can see you upon my homecoming. i love you both and want to see you healthy and NOT incarcerated.

What things will people know all about ??
-
Yeh, June. Five months is long enough to get the script down. How do you know she didn't stay on restriction/staff escort?
And in August:
[23 Aug 2005|09:23am]
i'm going back to georgia today. i'll be back home in november.
thanks to everyone who made these past ten days a blast!
the next 3 months are going to be awful.
wish me luck and send me love.
will, ana, cecco, kristin, adam - expect e-mails soon.
byee!!
2| boom !
-
kids on restriction dont get to go on vacations.
-
Huh? What are you refering to... vacation? When did she go on vacation?
-
"things are good. i went on vacation with my brother to st. vincant and the grenadines (they are islands.)"
Read the posts and youll see where this is at
-
Let's see:
She sent out a call to be rescued on 7 Jan.
Gets 'Busted' and put on restriction/staff escort on 14 Jan.
7 Mar she states that she'll be 'signing herself out' on 18 Mar. Perhaps when she is 18?
11 Apr says she made the decision to stay to finish school. Would be home May 2006.
26 Apr she states she'd finished the '2nd step'.
20 Jun she says she'll be home 29 of July for 2 days and mentions she'd been on vacation with her brother.
****
One would not expect her to be on restriction since Jan for getting 'busted'. Restriction for that offense would have long been over by the time she was allowed a vacation.
So, sometime between Jan and June she was able to leave the facility for a vacation.
Might that have been the perk it took to persuade her to stay beyond her 18th birthday?
Why else would HLA allow her to take a vacation? Unheard of.
She's home again !! for 10 days in late August.
And will be home again in November.
All this time out of the facility and at home doesn't jibe with other's experiences. What might be different in her situation. She couldn't be seen as a 'bad' kid even by HLA or she would not have been allowed off campus so much.
-
This is KC I got kicked out of HLA it is a complete shit hole Tell everyone i siad Whats up and iff you can get Scott Halls Phone number or adress please
Sorry for u being stuck there cuz Im gone Peace,

Wrong. I know from personal experience (my daughter was there for 18 months) that all the kids get 10 day breaks at the beginning of the summer (early June) and again at the end of the summer (August). Then they come home for Thanksgiving.
-
Does Emily know that this was posted online? If not I don't think it's right to post her personal business.
-
Unfortunately she has a blog on the internet, which makes it public domain. She may or may not want this on this board, however, her blog comes up if you do a search under "Hidden Lake Academy". It might be a good idea if someone who knows her tells her so she can have her say whether or not she wants this on here.
-
I just informed her but I'm still dissapointed with the original poster. I wonder what your purpose was and I'm dissapointed with the decreasing integrity of people on this board.
-
Oh but actually I should really clarify that I'm not referring to everyone on this board. There are some people here that I have immense respect for. I just don't see the merritt in starting threads like this one. It seems more like gossip than anything else.
-
I have been reading this thread too and I am not sure of the original poster's intent either. Seems its just a regular blog of a teenage girl.
-
i went to HLA i just got kicked out for busting a cats nose but anyway any questions i can answer ok?
-
What is "busting a cat's nose?" Do you mean literally hitting a cat?
-
***Wrong. I know from personal experience (my daughter was there for 18 months) that all the kids get 10 day breaks at the beginning of the summer (early June) and again at the end of the summer (August). Then they come home for Thanksgiving.
No maam, you are wrong. 'All the kids' do not get 10 day breaks in June and August or come home for Thanksgiving.
Speak from your personal experience, not in generalities.
BTW program parent, did you ever actually read the Parent Manual?
-
not necessarily, restrictions doesnt mean no breaks...that is where you have it wrong...you have to do something really out of agreement or be completely beyond academically incomplete to lose your visits.
if she was just on restrictions, she would serve them and be done with it.
-
the breaks are set up based on how long the kids have been there. someone who got there in november would not be getting thanksgivig or even christmas. but they would still have whatever parent workshops that were during that time. They have to have their 4 month parent workshop to be even eligible for the long breaks.
so you are correct, no, every kid isn't able to go on all breaks.
-
And what is your understanding of what constitutes 'out of agreement' and 'really out of agreement'?
Examples.

:cool: emily,
IT'S BEEN AWHILE SINCE I LEFT IN MAY AND I'M GLAD TO HEAR YOU HAVE YOUR HEAD ON STRAIGHT!

Kelley,
I'm assuming that the Emily you're talking to is the one who is the subject of the orginal thread. Well this isn't her, but I'm really sorry to hear about your friend, but glad to know that things are better now and that you're in college!
Best Wishes,
(Bubbles) your Yank ass friend
-
So KC in one post you stated that you got kicked out for knowing too much information and in another post you said you got kicked out for hitting a kid at Ridge Creek. Which one is it? What's the real reason you got expelled?
-
I got sent to ridge creek for knowing too much about the fraulent activity and they were kicking me out so i didnt care anymore and got in alittle interaction with anyother student I hated that school they were involved with very much decietful and manipulitive behavior sorry for not clarifying last time
kc
-
i have been on restrictions or was all the time u still get breaks unless your counselers can really manpulate your parents
-
I find it hard to believe that the only reason you were sent to Ridge Creek was because you knew some sort of information they didnt want you to know. Doesnt sound logical. Seems to make more sense that you didnt want to play by the rules and that is why you got sent to Ridge Creek. As far as getting expelled from Ridge Creek, that part sounds like your own doing, not theirs. You took your frustration out on another student. Doesnt seem fair to the other student does it. Maybe your expulsion was more your own fault and had nothing to do with what they did or didnt want you to "know". I doubt you were any sort of "threat" to them. By the way, how long were you actually at Hidden Lake and how long at Ridge Creek?

Actually I'm the parent of a kid who was there at around the same time. It's true. They didn't like that he was going online and finding stuff about Hidden Lake, so they sent him to Ridge Creek. I'm not sure what they expected to accomplish by sending him there, but that's just what they did.

out of agreement = sex (kissing on the bus on the way back from an event), drugs (refusing your meds or cheeking them) or violence (defending yourself after all else fails and they attack you)
really out of agreement = sex (having sex in the outside bathroom by lower left), drugs (bringing or distributing drugs on campus), violence (kicking someones ass unprovoked and not in self defense)
get it?
-
Doesn't it stand to reason that being at Ridge Creek served to curtail his internet access and provided a holding place until he was expelled?
-
It sounds like he got expelled for hitting another student at Ridge Creek. If Hidden Lake had wanted him expelled just because he looked things up on the internet they didnt like, they wouldnt have bothered to send him to Ridge Creek. They would have just expelled him from Hidden Lake. His story about being expelled for looking at websites on the internet that they didnt like doesnt really hold water. The hitting the student thing, that sounds more plausible.

Actualy I had the exact same thing happen to me. Although I was there prior to Ridge Creek they had a different program at the time. One in which they would take the offending student up into the mountains with a tarp, bottle and water purification tablets and some granola and leave us out there till we mended our errant ways. I hadnt broken any rules per se or "agreements" as they liked to call them (I always found that ironic, they were called agreements, yet none of us ever really agreed to anything) I did however discuss with great fervor how I had been placed there illegally, and the blatent hypocricy found in the school and its staff, along with numerous other crimes commited there. Eventually they got tired of trying to shut me up so they simply sent me away for several weeks ( a testament to their award winning education system) after several weeks they had to bring me back, at which point I made a deal with the devil. I would behave so long as they stopped trying to pretend I needed to be there. It didnt last I returned to my evil ways, but in the end I was vindicated.

who ever said they were the parent of a kid and it was true please personal message me i am KC it is ooo true i swear on my life they did it and ruined me please respond

thank you,

history is history. i'm not the moderator so i cant make the decision, but i dont think thats a good idea. maybe we can edit out all the personal details and make you anonymous, but i think this thread has some very important information which parents should be allowed to see. i understand your probably looking back at these posts thinkin "oh i was so immature, what a desperate cry for help", but as embarassing as it is, it's a great record of what every kid goes through at hidden lake. you were just lucky enough to post a record of it online. one of the main purposes of this forum is to help parents make educated decisions, clean up the industry, and get survivors back in touch with each other. by deleting this post, your're impedeing the progress of the first two purposes.
congrats at getting out of hla. when did you leave?
-
i'm sure there is more than enough information about the school in this forum from students, etc to help parents make an educated decision about HLA... i didn't even know this thread existed until last night... my friend had to show me, 2 years after the fact... i would like the parts of this thread that mention me and the parts that were taken from my livejournal to be deleted.
how do i contact the moderator?
