My life has gone on since straight. I have traveled, gone back to school, hated some and loved many. After I left straight I clowned around in Boston getting more high and more drunk than before. I allowed myself to be influenced by even more chaos than before straight because ultimately I learned that I made the decisions pertaining to my life. Unfortunately, I cared not that much about my life. However, the roots of that pathology can be traced further back than straight.
What I lost in straight was my high school education, "normal" teenage experiences and the ability to take responsibility for myself by myself. As if without intervention that could have ever taken place.
I am now 32. I have a awesome little boy who is now 9 years old. I also have a 9 year old little girl who is my foster daughter. Her mother didn't want her and would not take care of her. She had less opportunity available for her at her birth than I did in the two years I rebelled at straight. Again, choices... Usually we have some, but sometimes we do not.
I sit here at 7 months pregnant thinking about how just 2 months ago I finally had everything I ever wanted. Good job, good children, a new life on its a way for my fiancee and myself. I was so in love. On October 16th, my fiancee was killed in a car accident as he drove home after work.
That is my reality, and as you get older you find that the things that once you bitched about have really lost their relevance.
Life goes on for some and for others it does not. Everything in between is truely a mystery.

Anyone remember the massive group revolt incident that ended with Peter B. throwing a chair at a staff member so as to provide coverage for those of us running for the door? Peter was tackled, the chair flew into my head and knocked me unconcious. Jeremy E. and others carried me away so that my concusion and I could be treated properly at the hospital. Next open meeting 5 of us stood up w/ black eyes, mine was the biggest.
love ya!

hey Scott, It's Leslie. I was in the big red box in Stoughton from 5/20/88 to ?/90. Of course I remember my intake date after all of these years... Don't know if you remember me, but I thought I might remeber you since you were in during similar times. I have names of friends and "misbehaviors" that I hung around with then and now. I've got some great stories

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of it's victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busy-bodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those that torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

hey guys, I was in here before when looking for sites and info on Straight, child mind torture techniques for a psychology class two years ago. Than just the other day while having nothing to do at all at work, I googled myself and among other things, came to this site again. I saw a name, Garrett, as well as Sully. I was in Straight for a little over two years '88-90, and spent a lot of time misbehaving, running away, flirting with the guys side and making ever lasting friendships. Let me know who you are if you remember the old times...
