Just be forwarned...as a parent, saying you've tried everything seems to be an open invitation for every disgruntled person to attack you, and it will be among the four letter word variety. I was accused of smoking crack while I was pregnant and that must be the root of my son's problems. I have gotten some positive feedback as well, and yet, no one seems to have answers as to what to do about your teen when they are completely disregarding every rule. As a parent, you are persona non grata to everyone. The school, the system, other kids and even other parents. Everyone thinks you must have done a shitty job. Some folks here would even recommend juvenile detention over any program. I don't get it.

"Proudgrad-
You breathe much needed fresh air into this forum. I appreciate your honesty and straight forwardness in explaining your personal experience of treatment. At this moment, my son who just turned 16, is struggling in school and his home life. He has started using drugs regularly, stays out all night and completely disregards my authority. Before you all jump on and call me a bad parent, know this - I have done everything and anything I could for this boy - I don't know how he has turned out the way he has. Perhaps it is his father, I'm not sure I will ever know, me and my son have zero communication. His father lives on the other side of the continent and shows little interest, so that leaves me with little choice. I have decided to look at the program options available, they seem to have really been of help to most students attending. Proudgrad, I would love to hear more about your story. What brought you into the program? What was it like being away from your family for so long? I have so many questions, I appreciate all the input you can provide. My email is PatriciaSwiggert@hotmail.com
Thanks in advance, I'm glad your program experience was a positive one, I hope the same for my son.

Sure, send the kid to a program where he will be reminded everyday what it feels like to be unwanted and unloved (by his father) and now his mother, the person who sent him away under the guise of "helping" him cope with lousy parents.
Way to go, Mom. I hope your son catches on to your diabolical scheme and goes to live with other relatives. You are the problem and your solution is proof positive that YOU NEED HELP, not your kid.
:roll:

Well, did you do a shitty job? Does your kid need a program or do you need therapy? Most of the time, it's the latter. Kids that really do need help don't belong in some private lock down prison. Do you job and get help for your issues.

"lol, buzzkill! Perhaps it is because we want to give back a little of what we were given, and help others to transform their lives as we have. No, I don't plan on working for wwasp, rather it is my goal to open my own school. It's interesting how I have learned much of what you call program jargon throughout my University education. Theories taught in the program and the seminars are surely reinforced by various theories found within the breadth of social sciences.

you remind me of this other program troll here a while back that said they were obtaining a degree in law so they could defend WWASP and other similar programs forever.. ::ftard:: mine as well rid yourself of this poison while youre young...

Sure nuff, proud grad?
Your Own Program!
Well, I can believe that easy enough.
I can also easily believe you'll be getting your seed money from "uncle" Bobby; and as he'll want to protect and encourage the success of the investment, no doubt he'll kindly have TeenHelp, and the large net work of program parents, recruiting for you - Shoot - if you play your cards right, he might even send you a pack of upper levels from one of his own programs to help get you started.
Might even give you a car to drive.
Corse - he'd likely expect a percentage of your enrollment fees - but it would be Your program, not wwasps.
Besides, aren't they are All independently owned :roll:
So - you say you speak the same "language" you learned in the program, during your higher educational experience?
Well, I suppose its possible. Still, I can't say any college student I know (and I know a number of them) has ever used the term "Step Left", or,?Based on results you have exactly what you intended.? And, Certainly not, "Trust the Program" or "Trust the Process" as I'm told they now parrot.
Ya know - I too am glad you feel you were helped.
Really.
But the process that you feel helped you is devastating for many others. And, I still feel in time - say about five years or so out - you'll begin to see more clearly that what "helped" you was not as free of negative side effects as you now proclaim.
