--- Quote from: ""ITDONTMATTER"" ---GOD I have never seen such immaturirty. Dude it was years ago! You are doing great now. just let it go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
--- End quote ---
What's your attachment to Psy "letting it go"?
Is your happiness or financial well-being dependent on it?
How about, you "letting go" of your need for Psy to let it go?
Note the little X in the right hand corner of your screen. If his experience is too painful for you to read, and you don't have a vested interest in silencing him, then relieve yourself by clicking it. But lay-off the tempor tantrum. You're the only one exhibiting a lack of maturity in this thread.
Oz girl:
This troll may be an asshole but he does raise a fair question. What does make a kid over 18 sign into such a place? And what would make someone who is pushing 30 agree? i get that once you are in it is hard to get out. I am also sympathetic to the young people there.
But why? Do some of them have substance abuse problems and think they are going into a bonafide rehab facility?Are some under intense family pressure after leaving an underage TBS? are some genuinely mentally ill? Court appointed? It seems that there are a few "young adult" places coming up which again market to parents not kids.
This, and the profit angle, seems to where they differ from 1/2 way houses that many charitable organisations set up to help homeless and seriously at risk young people get back on track.

Look at their website:

Our young people are referred to us by educational consultants, psychologists, psychiatrists, other emotional growth schools and by parents who know our work.
Despite their best efforts and intentions, families who seek to place their ADULT CHILD in our school have come to the realization that assistance is vitally necessary.
At Benchmark, we understand the emotional toll the situation has caused. We do our best to help students achieve success in our program and to help families adjust to the changes. We strongly believe that with support and an abundant supply of ?tough love? from parents, family and friends, our students are more likely to successfully complete the program. In turn, this will bring about emancipation and the rewards associated with that process.
Once the student has enrolled in Benchmark, we invite parents to join us for our Parent Seminar, a two-day workshop that provides families with an opportunity to gain an in-depth understanding and orientation of Benchmark Young Adult School.
Parent Seminar introduces the Benchmark curriculum and our counseling philosophies. We provide insights into parenting young adults and teach new skills for families to utilize when interacting with their Benchmark student.
Finally, we show that the role of the parents and family can positively change as the student gains his or her independence through new found skills attained at Benchmark Young Adult School.
And, their contract.
