The Troubled Teen Industry / Where are all the veterans?
« on: September 15, 2006, 10:13:51 PM »
I was just wondering who has actually walked the line and bin in the trenches-those who have bin in a program and those who haven't

I don't want anyone to feel threatend for fear of being vunerable by being exposed or to confess there true Ideantity.

But for those who were 'there,' no matter your personal opinion of your experience, maybe if you could just state where you served.

No names are nessesary.  But i feel and I may be wrong that alot of the "Gests" on the forum speak from a point of view that t is not based on experience but rather hopefull Idealism that they cannot really elaberrate on for their not having bin 'there' and seen it and expierienced it for them selves.


I don't want to creat a segregation or offend anyone, but I personally find it cathartic to talk about the horrors and atrosities that I whitnessed and expirienced.

I will not be silenced!

this post angers me.

I find that using Andrea Yates as an example is not a balaced and scientific aproch to base your presmise of the correct or incorect use of psycotropic drugs valid.  It is a singular case.  And one that has been overly glamourised and not (i my opinion)  been treated as a sigular case but rather an exeplification of what as a society "we" dispise and therefor must eradicate (scapegoat)  to ensure that it does not happen again. or pretend that all mothers are not human but purely loving in nature and incapable of such horric acts

"we" don't even attept tp fix the problem by understadning its controvesy, complexity and horrible nature,  we just shun it away and pretend that we live in a world where this never (only on freak ocasion) occures.  And when it does we don't try to find a resolution of understading but rather dish out harsh repremandments to prentend that we keep our selfs safe from this behavior.  but we never accualy confront the problem.

I apoligize but I've just been paged and have to go

I just stumbled upon it.

I was looking for a web site that did no just focus on (the evil) WWASPS but rather the entire "Tuff Love" industrusty.

The thing that irks me is their false advertising--even honor roll, straight A students fit their profife of a canadite.


I want to join the fight and help ensure strickter standards and more regulation and monitoring of these torture/brainwashing programs.

gotta got to work

but thanks for the reply
