ok so I'm done with all of you.. this is ridiculous..... its unbelievable that you can't even keep your own negative shit away from people who want to do something positive. Wow, I feel bad for you. In less than 24 hours this turned from me trying to do something SIMPLY TO GET IN TOUCH WITH OLD CLASSMATES to all of you bitching about the most random things to each other. Go get a life.

I'm sick of hearing all of this negative junk about Carlbrook. As a graduate, I'm dying to hear from those who have something legitimate to say... preferably from those who were there...... Please keep it to the positive comments... those of you who want to bash Carlbrook (:flame:) , post your harsh words elsewhere.......

My son attended for 9 months, but did not finish the program.  He left in May 2004 and finished high school at a regular prep boarding school.  I had some major disputes with Carlbrook while he was there.  He did benefit in some ways, and wilderness actually did him a lot of good (he did two stints in wilderness).  I thought some of the Carlbrook staff was excellent and some were terrible.

I highly HIGHLY recommend Carlbrook for kids ages 15-18 who just seem lost in the world. Either they have been hurting themselves, have no social decency, don't listen to their parents, or just don't seem to be happy with anything that is given to them.

Sounds like they spent 19 months training a marketing associate.


OK now it has gone from offending something that I hold very dear to me, to personally offending me! Am I the only one that sees a problem with this?? You don't know me and to say that I was "trained" to market Carlbrook is just FUCKED UP. Look at your motivations for posting what you say because you have a very skewed way of looking at the world.

I care because I care about teenagers in general and am concerned about this bogus and dangerous industry.  I've been on this board for quite a few years now and I take personal offense to people coming here and telling me what to do or say.


If you cared about teenagers you would look deeper than the surface of this "dangerous industry" and see that it is very beneficial. Do you have teenagers? Cuz if you don't thats a little creepy...... however, yes of course I respect your opinion by you need to clarify that it is JUST that: your OPINION.... when people look at your words and believe them to be true- thought you have not experienced Carlbrook yourself- it creates a bad vibe around a school that HELPS TEENS!!!! If you cared, then you would think twice about what you say......

Stop talking like you all know ANYTHING about what it's like......
- Carlbrook Grad '04



Carlbrook Grad, is this anything like what you experienced in Carlbrook?

I just don't understand why you care?? Why are you getting involved? And the reason I care is because Carlbrook was- and still is- a HUGE part of my life and a large reason why I am so happy with myself.... I take personal offense to people bashing it! I think thats pretty understandable!!!

So you're saying that Mr. Moreno benefitted from the type of "treatment" and "therapy" that is described by Kiwifella?  You're an 'end justifies the means' kinda guy, I take it.


I Know both "Mr. Moreno" and "Kiwifella" very personally and I find it offensive that you would use their testimonies in any kind of arguement about how Carlbrook is a negative environment. Yes, B.S. (Kiwifella) didn't finish the program, but I happen to have been through a lot with him while we were there, as well has Rico. Stop fighting cuz you don't have any good arguements

yep, sure sounds like a school to me.  only at this school, the teachers and faculty are responsible for officially torturing and abusing kids instead of other kids doing it on an ad hoc basis.

this "teacher" is a troll and full of shit.




WHAT IS EVERYONE'S PROBLEM??? IF THIS SCHOOL IS HELPING PEOPLE, WHY QUESTION IT?? I HAPPEN TO HAVE BEEN TO THIS SCHOOL, AND I KNOW THIS TEACHER PERSONALLY...... FIND SOMETHING ELSE TO SPEND YOUR TIME DOING BECAUSE I'M SICK OF HEARING FROM PEOPLE WHO FRANKLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT!!!

I would just like to say that, despite any awful things that anyone has to say about the Carlbrook School, THEY HAVE NOT BEEN THERE. They may have had kids that went there, or friends with kids that went there- but THEY may not have experienced it THEMSELVES!
I enrolled in Carlbrook in October 2004- The school had been open almost 9 months and I was student #52. The next19 months saved my life. Everything from the close and personal attention from faculty to the amazing relationships that I developed helped me transform from the out-of-control, depressed little girl that I was (at 15) to the sober, responsible, motivated woman that I am now. I highly HIGHLY recommend Carlbrook for kids ages 15-18 who just seem lost in the world. Either they have been hurting themselves, have no social decency, don't listen to their parents, or just don't seem to be happy with anything that is given to them. The "emotional growth" aspect of this school is  mainly what I miss the most. Some of the greatest moments of my life are those in the groups, workshops, or at random times when I made a connection with someone. I love Carlbrook and am COMPLETLEY willing to talk to ANYONE who has any questions. Also, please listen to whatever else you hear about Carlbrook very carefully. It is important to hear from the people who know- those who were there and graduated the program............
