thanks so much-- ahh dishdutyfugitive is it?

That is wonderfully helpful!

Also for the guest that post. I am terribly sorry if my request upset you. I hope that you understand why it is that I havent posted her name... Above all else and completely disregarding the fact that I never witnessed her participate in such torturous acts... I still currently see her... infact I see her again in 4 days. She is aware that I googled her and discovered her previous place of employment.. should she google herself and discover this same website... well I can only imagine how utterly horrific it could be if she discovered my further searching and that I had contributed to these discussions... She has never come off as torturous to me... but certainly very intemidating at times. Not anyone that I'd like to cross. I stated that I would discontinue my googling of her and would let it all drop. So I can only imagine how well it would go over should I say "oh and by the way I found this online forum and have read all about this horrific school and these horrific events.. I gave them your name and reconfirmed your association with the institution by the way." yes that would be real swell.. believe it or not I would like to live long enough to graduate lol.

I can assure you that my play will in no way make light of these circumstances and the things that the kids went through. I find it completely sick and disturbing and abusive. It disgusts me and my play will above everything else certainly reflect that. It is highly unlikely that I will even allow my therapist to read the play.

I am sorry if you feel as though I am exploiting this situation in some way or making light of such a terrible occurance.

I already had a first act written for this assignment on sexual abuse.. but I decided to do the extra work and research and switch last moment and pitch this idea to my teacher because I feel that it is much more important to bring this into the light.. I would prefer for my class and school and community to become aware of this. Sexual abuse is widely recognized... this has not recieved nearly the amount of publicity that it should.

I am not a psychologist.. I am not a famous author.. I can not make a large publication of some kind.. I am not a rich survivor that could hire a lawyer and sue... I am simply a high school student that is sickened by this injustice and is writing about it in the only form recognizable in her high school- a play.

Thanks again for all of your help!

Try this, thespian

Oh yes... One last question if you don't mind... But wikipedia doesn't specify and this is a seriously underpublished offense... But so what were "raps" or workshops on... generally speaking... was it just discussion of life... was it always talking about childhood trauma? Were there different topics each time? Was it always emotionally breaking or were there lighter ones as well?

Were the staff members always seen as superior during these? Well I mean despite the chairs...

I know it was mentioned at some other point in this forum that there was a song "tell it all brother" I believe that was used during a workshop... was it a regular occurance that a song would be played?

-By the way I listened to that song... I intend to incorporate it into my play.. In what way might they use a song? Just to set the tone... or was it part of a brainwashing process... or???

I guess I just do not have a decent understanding about these workshops. I understand that they were miserable experiences... But was it like group therapy? Or group brainwashing? Or group break down?

Thank you! That link worked.
