Hippie to Derrick: "What do you want?"
Derrick (thinking fast): "To have a good career." (whew!)
Hippie to Derrick ('you mean like mine?'): "What do you need to do to have a good career?"
Derrick (so exhasuted he can't have an original thought): "Work hard and never give up."
Hippie to self: 'This kid is so smart! What a breakthrough!'
Audience to self: 'That cliche and $4.00 will get you a cup a coffee at Starbucks.'
Derrick is all of 14 years old and his biggest concerns at 14 should be whether the girl he wants to ask out will say yes and where can he find the information he needs to finish his homework assignment. The career choices can wait.
This program is destroying him. I can feel the onset of his depression in my living room. He's doing the best he can in spite of his illness and he's falling apart. This whole experience is nothing short of traumatizing for him. It is so obvious that I cannot believe the staff and the audience cannot see it. They prefer to believe the narration instead of their own eyes. This is real abuse, period.
The saddest part is that this kid will probably never receive the real help that he desperately needs.[ This Message was edited by: AtomicAnt on 2005-08-03 21:09 ]

THANK YOU ABC!
Here, have a bead. I honor you with this bead.
Give me a break! These clowns are making a fortune off these poor kids and all they can give them is a bead?
What idiots! They are selling wilderness therapy as a precursor to locked boarding schools ... wonder if they get a kickback?
Who owns SAGE WALK?

It's a pity you weren't brainwashed to read and write. I think you meant to say that ENDS DO NOT JUSTIFY MEANS (assuming you wanted to shout like that).

"Freedom through discipline", I shit you not!
I don't see so much faking going on here as I do kids actually breaking down. I'm really worried about that little boy, Derek. I've seen a good many kids exist in a state of fear as he seems to be. Poor kid. I hope to Christ his parents come to their senses or that he has family who will save him from them.
This I believe: That the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: The freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: Any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.
