--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---I think your focused way too much on this - what about the ed cons that are sending kids to WWASPS every single day - making $50,000 a month doing it. What's up, why isn't everyone warning against them? What about all the other programs, the ed cons, there are tons and tons of them.

--- Quote --- Does your teen have Entitlement Issues?
Does your teen expect more from you than they have earned or deserve?
Many parents only want the best for their children (usually more than they had growing up), but has this actually backfired on families?
In today's society many teens have major entitlement issues. Many parents feel that giving their teen's material items will somehow earn them respect. Quite frankly, the opposite occurs in most families. The more we give, the more our children expect and the less they respect us. We literally lose ourselves in buying our children's love. At the end of the day, no one wins and life is a constant battle of anger, hopelessness, and debt.
While interviewing a young teen, she was recently given a new car - brand new - felt she deserved it since her parents gave her two used ones previously. She is only 17 years old and already controlling her household and believes she was entitled to this car. She shows no appreciation or respect to her parents. Simply, she deserved it. Can you imagine owning 3 cars by the age of 17, yet never buying one? This is an extreme example, but I am sure many parents can relate.
Entitlement issues can lead to serious problems. Teaching your child respect and responsibility should be priority. Although the issues may have started to escalate, as a parent, it is never too late to take control of the situation and say "no" when your teen feels they are entitled to a frivolous item or anything that is considered a privilege.
Life is about responsibility, as parents we need to teach our children responsibility - helping our children comes natural to us, however when it becomes excessive and the child doesn't appreciate it, it is time to step back and evaluate your situation.

So.. solve your kids 'entitlement issues' (wouldn't that really be the parents issue, since they are the ones who both initiated and continued to spoil their child?) by sending them off to a super-expensive private prison for a year or two? This advice sounds like punishing the kid for the parents mistake? The author of this is asking why the daughter feels she deserves three cars.. why do you think?!
Look at all these other 'issues'.. does locking a kid up in a program supposed to help these things?
Teen Internet Addiction
Teen Suicide (shouldn't psychiatrists and professionals be handling suicidal kids? because they could off themselves in a program pretty easily!)
Underachiever, Lacks Motivation (:roll: )
Peer Pressure (?)
Teen Cults (what like joining an organization that abuses kids and brainwashes them for profit?.. how ironic for them to mention this one)
Adoption (nothing like solving 'adoption issues' by getting rid of your kid)
This shit is a fucking joke. It sounds a lot like WWASPS, but a bit more sophisticated. I used to laugh at how simple and non user friendly the WWASPS and other program's websites were but now it's clear that they don't even need to market because they got these slicksters out there doing a much better job.
interesting part..
--- Quote ---Why Use a Transport Service?
Transport Services, also known as Escort Services, are usually a last resort for parents to transport their teens to programs. Being a last resort doesn't mean it is a negative choice. Using a qualified professional can be a good experience for a teen.
Some teens are willing to get help, others will go under false pretense, and then there is the need for escorting.
Since Escorting your teen can be a difficult decision, it is very important to choose qualified and credentialed professionals for your teen. The Escort Services listed below are fully licensed to transport teens and also have various degrees and/or background in Education, Psychology, Behavioral Science, Mental Health or other related fields. These are professionals! You are welcome to ask them to fax you their credentials.
Escorting your teen can be a very good experience with the right professional.

Absolutely disgusting!! A good experience for a teen? :evil: what bullshit. i love the part about 'false pretense'.. why don't you just call it what it is... a lie!! (you know one of those 'issues' you are sending your kid away for!?)
so how much does PURE make from sending kids away? anybody know how much they are making $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$?????????
Dr Phil:
i can't find the prices they charge on the website, in one point it says the service is free to parents. is that true? how does pure make money, do they only refer to programs who pay them a referal fee, or do they charge the parents directly? i remember my parent telling me something about them offering a free month or thousand dollars at wwasps if they got another kid. im pretty sure my parent even got a friend of his to send their kid. fucked up shit... probably because he did it to get me a free month. this referal shit is so corrupt i want to puke.
Anonymous:
yeah, that's one of their gimmicks. the parents don't pay the fee, the SCHOOL pays Sue her blood money. She won't divulge the programs she refers to nor the amounts she's paid. We've all asked.
