Thats a major red flag for most people, why in the world does that not bother you?


--- Quote ---He's struggling with self esteem issues and extreme peer pressure. He does much better when away from the pressures of his friends and specifically here in the city.

Look, ma'am or sir, that is being a teenager. I dont know if you remember, but at some point in time im sure you were kicked in the but by some bad feelings. I'm sure your friends wanted you to do something you thought was stupid. This is how a person grows, by living with it and dealing with it. Don't run from it by sending him away or he will never develop coping skills of his own. If he develops anything at all it will be tramatic, and posiblity dangerous.

Listen, I didn't log onto this website to be riduculed and judged.  i was asking for info on this school and I appreciate your feedback however I have not gone into the entire story and probably don't have enough space here.  To the person who told me to "be a mom", I take offense to that statement.  Maybe I wasn't clear enough that peer pressure and succumbing to it for my son has been three, recent, serious close calls mixing drugs and alcohol and many sleepness nights worrying. This past year has been excruciating and in the last 3 months has been spiraling downward. How many moms do you know have had the guts to take the police to a party where underage kids are drinking and drugging including her own son.  Not many parents even care when you try to talk to them and get their help, most won't get off the couch. And before any of you say, well he must have a drug problem, no not yet and that is what I'm trying to avoid as well as accidentally dying from doing something stupid. He has the potential for that and I am more afraid of that than anything else.  He lost his father 4 years ago and he found him dead. Regardless of what we have tried, sports, music, anything to give him motivation it only lasts awhile, he's got major wounds to heal and it's not easy for him.  He's been in counseling for 4 years and he's not built enough inner strength to stand independently yet and I've tried everything. He has no male role model and is starving for that.  He got attached to his personal trainer and then was crushed when he moved, he gets jsut as attached to his friends and will do anything not to lose them even dangerous things. I am not an idiot and I know what it happening with my son I just don't have all of the resources, myself, that I know he needs. I would love nothing more than to keep him at home, I cry everyday just because he's not home now, but I'm trying to help save his life and give him a chance. I am trying to be as careful as I can in this investigation and I know there have got to be good programs out there somewhere, just trying to find them.

Jelly--keep checking, and let us know when you find a GOOD PROGRAM OUT THERE, ok?

THERE ARE NO GOOD PROGRAMS...NONE!!!!

What advice does his therapist there in AZ have for you?  What does this therapist tell you to do?

You need to go and read the site: Teen Advocates USA...read the articles written by Barbe Stamps. Write to these moms who have dead children. Ask these moms if they are sorry they sent their children to these programs? Story after story after story---all dead children who had self-esteem problems; some drug issues; skipping school; kids who were a bit defiant. NONE of these kids deserved to die, but they did. None of these moms deserve to have dead children, but the do.
