I was in peer group 57. theres countless abusive therapy sessions, i can probably sit down and list off them for a few hours lol.
um... super restrictions : i guess its called the challet,or whatever the cabin right near ridge creek is. super restrictions is where HLA sends kid who have done something severe or been on restrictions for a 'too long' deemed amount of time. its completely restricted from the school, u only have contact with urselves and the staff that supervise you. you do work all day , no matter the weather or if your sick. many students are just placed there by HLA until a new ridge creek rotation starts, which can be over 2 weeks sometimes. while there, and maybe the worst part, you are forced to write 40 or more pages of "therapy" a day, which nobody even reads. i can verify this because there was an assignment called "write 3 things that tramatized u in your lifetime". I knew they werent reading and it was just bullshit so i tested it and wrote "the time i rode a bike into a cow and fell into a black hole" . the assignments are pointless, repetivive, and make u feel infererior.
Those priviledge groups at HLA are complete horseshit. U have to give up time u want to life weights (which personally helped me most while i was therE), to plant flowers to support the image of the school. I don't support the school, so i guess i dont get to go watch sports teams, eat decent food, and get away with things that other kids would get on restrictions for. To be eligible for the lowest level of trips, u have to introduce yourself to 3 new people per week, and tell your life story to two people. ... there usually arent even 3 new people per week, its just another stupid system set up by HLA.
- also whats funny, many parents/students donated money for WRESTLING MATS. they guarenteed these mats countless times, and they never came. Then HLA squandered that money to spend on some pool, that came after almost all the donators were gone.
