HLA Testimonials

--- Quote from: ""Guest"" ---It seems we see each other in identical light. I am also mildly amused by you. Of course I don't take much of what you say on this site very seriously. You are the one known to be a little out there with your comments. If you were to link my postings I am sure you would be surprised at most of the things I have posted. I typically agree with most of the things said against HLA, or more accurately Dr. Buccellato. I just think that in this matter your were off base and going too far. A boy is dead and you are using it to pick a fight. I knew Patrick Kennedy, you did not. I personally interacted with him, you did not. When he first got to HLA he was a mess. Angry at the world and confused beyond belief. Somewhere along the line he turned into a fine young man. Go back to the original post and see the characteristics the writer used to describe him. That is a far cry from the young man who came to HLA.
As far as the parents asking for donations to be made to the Chapel fund...I personally think it is a waste of money. Everyone knows the chapel fund has historically been a joke. That being said, I have never known HLA to request for donations be made after the death of someone, though several have made such requests. The fact of the matter is, however, it is THEIR decision. They are a family in grief and we should all respect their decision. It should not be up for debate. Not now anyway. There are plenty of things to pick on HLA about without lowering yourself to this.

Okay, I'll speak as a STUDENT who knew him. He was still a mess when he left there. The only thing you greedy fucks did was to help him learn to manipulate and hide it better. He broke the sex agreement with so many boys, sexually harrassed male students, continued to cut himself - only he learned to hide it in places you fucking morons couldn't see... I'm not going into more details out of respect for his family, but continue to let yourselves believe you helped him.

I think this only reenforces what most of us have been saying from the beginning. Patrick came to hla needing help. He apparently didnt get it there, and now he's dead. Who knows what would have happened if he'd gotten the help he needed then.

BTW -- this was brought to Staff's attention. No one believed it because he was in Phoenix and Stars. Here's the sad part - I was threatened with Restrictions for telling the truth so I stopped saying anything.

What is Phoenix and Stars?

Phoenix Society is pretty much a group of select kids that are recongized as the leaders on campus. They do a lot of community service within Phoenix (as required to remian within the group). They get 5 extra minutes on their phone calls every week as well. They are involved with positions such as: helping newer students move into their dorm, assisting with parental tours when parents come to view the campus from afar, etc.
STARS is something like Students excelling Theraputically, Academically, and Recreationally Society. As the name implies, these students are the ones that are doing the best theraputically, academically and recreationally (recreation meaning interactions with other peers).
