I know why I cant say who I am because of legal reasons but i don't understand why some girls who have graduated mms years ago dont what to say who they are, why?

BarnardlyB:
Legal reasons?? Are you someone important or are you raging war on the school. If it is for legal reason, I would suggest not posting at all.

I guess alot of us alumni, many that I know have come to this site, have seen the reaction to many posts people have written and have decided against posting.
They feel this website is hateful and not helpful in anyway. Some have posted once or twice and that was the end of that.
Why put yourself out there to be ridiculed and judged, looked down upon and talked down to, if you don't have to. Why take the risk of being belittled (like many of you talk about having happened to you at MMS) by the girls who once supported you and loved you?? Its the same type of judgement and treatment you ALL express having happened to you at MMS....why repeat it. Isn't this supposed to be a supportive forum??

even if its been a long time for me i dont like to revela myself because the truth is i feel very torn. i know the school hurt me and it hurt some of the girls i was closest to. at the same time i feel guilty and its true that i dont want to be belitted. being honest makes me too vulnerable and i see that girls here can be so cruel. Even saying things like move on makes me feel wrong and like I have no right to feel what I feel or stand up for girls who have been hurt and are being hurt because they were forced to live at MMS. I can understand the legislation and how it can help and I told the Dr from ASTART my story because of my belief. I would like to be more open here but its like I said that I think that so many people keep saying move on that it just makes me feel like some girls want to bury the bad stuff. there is no sympathy for someone like me who thinks mms was a very bad place even if it has good points because it really pretends to be something that it isn?t, a therapeutic place when basically it s like a jail or reform school or something that is the power of force and punishment for change not therapy.

"id like to think i'm someone important!!"
:em:
I didn't mean that in a mean way. I thought maybe youd be a name that is like a sentor or something!!!!

"Legal like becuz of confidential legal issues but i dont think anyone else is in this position so I thinkits weird that people are so secretive dont you think? "
I do agree with you that is odd people are so secretive. I do understand when it comes to some of the older, older students becsue only very few of us would know them.

If this is who I think it Is CM. Once again. I want to once again, aplogize for anything that I did to you that still haunts you today. I hate the idea of you being in pain because of me. I am very differnet today than who I was back then.
I still love you, always did, you were one of the girls who i admired and truely thought is beautiful.
