Your such a baby. Just because you couldn't have your cake and cookies. And they made you walk with a back pack on. Next time you send a message out to the public you sould really check the spelling. How worthless are you?

How can you criticize someone for their spelling mistakes when the first word in your post is mispelled?

and how dare you call someone worthless. Do you know this girl? Do you know what she has been through? NO! Obviously you don't know what goes on in these wilderness-therapy programs. Walking with a backpack on is the EASY part. I was appalled when I saw the preview for this show. The idea that ABC family will humiliate and use these kids to boost their ratings is just SICK. If this show is true to form (as I suspect it won't be) it will NOT be funny or entertaining.

Hey Megan, I totally agree with you!!! And wow, you lost a lot of weight O_O!! That's cruel!! As for braduh60l, I think you're such an idiot and unhappy person trying to call everyone's attention. Right... "worthless" like if we had tags with our prices on them... jerk!

I was an 18/m when I went there. I was a skinny guy, maybe 135, and I GAINED weight to 150 or so. All muscle. I will never be as healthy as when I was there. Healthy food, the outdoors, and LOTS of excercise. No city pollution, cigarettes, alchohol coffee, MSG, sitting on your *** watching tv, no eating double stuffed oreos. Sorry to hear of your health problems megan, but from my observation, everyone I was with became much healthier.

HEY,My name is Caroline and I am currently in a Psychology class at my highschool coincidentally today we watched a movie about wilderness camps, I think this actual one, I took a real interest in how these camps were used as behavioral therapy, So I was wondering if you would be willing to be a contact that I can use in my report. My sn is: gossipgirl1024. It is at AIM so, just IM me if you would be willing or know someone who would be.

Thanks
Caroline

Hello Megan. I am so sorry about your expirence, but I would have to disagree with you. I have never been to this camp, and I have no idea what you went through while you were there, but I do understand why ABC would put this show on TV. Imagine if you were a parent and your teen came home drunk 9 out of 10 times, either that or high. I think the reason they put this on TV is to encourage parents whose teens are out-of-control. they want them to have hope that they can help. The parents and teens had to sign a form to let them air this, so I don't get why so many people think that it is wrong to have this here. Be honest, are you a better person now after that? Do you respect your family and nature more? I am sure your parents wanted and still want what is best for you. God Bless!(and way to go with loseing the weight, walking with a backpack can help with that!

megan, sorry to hear that you made redcliff a bad experience. every week you are given food and if you eat it all that equals 3000 calories a day. 200 pounds is quite heavy and you should be glad that you lost weight. the average stay at RCA is 60 days. you can get out in 28. why were you there so long??!! my appoligies for you becoming sick, but i dont think it was because of redcliff.

quiet storm,
megan did not make redcliff a bad experience, your staff did. 3000 calories a day is not enough for all the hiking done daily at RCA. megan was 13 years old and the staff are the adults who are supposed to be keeping her safe. i'm sure any reliable doctor would tell you going from 178 lbs. to 106 lbs. in 5 months is unhealthy. blood tests don't lie. she was in bad shape and who are you to judge how much someone should weigh. megan was at RCA for so long because your therapist kept telling us and our insurance co. she needed just a little more time.
