I got bashed on my first polite request for information. You must have thought I posted earlier. You are no better than the promoters, you just want to ridicule people for asking for information they obviously know nothing about, and like me, don't EVEN pretend to. Do you tell all people looking for information to get the fuck out because that is all I've seen here?

Nope, I tell rude people that, like you.

So, get the fuck out already, huh? :lol:

If you want to get your message out, I suggest you do it in a rational, non-confrontational manner and maybe you would get heard by people like me that are on the fence and struggling with a decision.

What part of this is rude?

Don't bother. They are angry people who have a set agenda and can not accept any differing viewpoints. The immaturity and meanness really undermines whatever their real message is.

You're right. This forum is like a moth to the flame and I have been burned. Thanks for sticking up for the unsuspecting newbies.

Your right, we are a bunch of pussy ass parents who coil at the first sign of critism. Back into isolation and cult forums for me.

I know, those program parents can be horrible. I'm glad we all agree on this.

Get a username. It's the multitude of faceless, nameless, blind program supporters who get bashed. At least with a username you won't get bashed indescriminently.

I have a 17 year old son attending Carlbrook. It has been an excellent experience for him and for us. He has been there since July 05. We too were considering Swift River and Oakley and our consultant and our son's counsellor at 2nd Nature recommended Carlbrook. It is similar to other Therapeutic Boarding School but I would say the twist is the focus on the honour code that really makes the kids part of the solution as a community as a whole. As our consultant and wilderness counsellor said - "the kids just seem very happy there". It is inevitably a hard place to be but it is full of love along with the rules and consequences. They have good recreaytion available but these provileges can be removed for individual behaviour or for the community as a whole. The academics are interesting and excellent. They focus on accepting kids that can succeed at school and who they believe are good at heart and have supportive families that believe their kid goes their to be equipped, not to be "cured". As they say - they ?help our child remember that they are not the sum total of all their mistakes, and that they deep down inside are a beautiful person that has lost their way and started to believe their ?lie?". Good Luck. I would recomnend an Educational Consultant - George Posner.

Hi, I'm glad your son is doing well at Carlbrook. I have to warn you. This is a miserable blog full of ex-TBS kids (and adults) that will very shortly attack you in every way imaginable. I also have a child having a very favororable experience at Carlbrook but beware of what's coming. This is a TBS Survivor site and expect more abuse than your kid ever gave you. btw I have a child there that will be graduating soon and then going to college. It's been good for our whole family. Good luck.

Ditto. It's this fool doing some "preemptive bashing." Nice job, programmie. Everyone feels sorry for you. You're truly a martyr. Really.

If any unsuspecting parent or happy ex-TBS student doubts the single focus of this forum and the lengths the posters will go to in order to be nasty and inappropriate, just read through some of the threads, particularly the Karenindallas thread under Brat Camp.
This is NOT a place for intelligent debate or sharing of ideas and information.
I will save you time and summarize the information on this forum:
1. All emotional growth programs are abusive and can not do any possible good for a teen.
2. Any parent who sends a teen to wilderness or an RTC or TBS is a terrible parent who hates their kid and all kids.
3. The regulars on this forum are experts on emotional growth programs and know everything there is to know about the staff and the treatment methods are every program. None of them are good.
4. If a former student attempts to defend a program or explain how it helped him or her, it is because he/she has been brainwashed by the program. In a few years the person will figure it out and remember how they were abused at the program.
5. Anyone who claims to have gone to a good college after the program or to have received a valuable high school degree is lying.
6. Any parent who recommends a program to another parent is doing so because they get a kick-back from the program.
7. All educational consultants are in it for the money and get kick-backs from the programs they recommend.
