Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > Straight, Inc. and Derivatives

Straight was a cake walk in comparison.....

(1/7) > >>

Kathy:
I've been reading up on these boarding schools, and boot camps and I am just amazed at what these kids have to endure.  Straight was nothing in comparison.  But the connection is that these camps and schools operate on all the same principles as Straight, they have just taken them to an incredible extreme.  These places still endure a rather "low-profile" and this is crap. Some of them have been operating for as long as 30 years.  It's time to expose them for what they really are.    

This is the purpose for the new forum that has been set up Under Fornits Forums/ called Troubled Teen Industry.

It's about time somebody started looking into this area.  You're a good person for it too,  Kathy. Programs like Straight and abusive wilderness programs offer two types of abuse,  and while some wilderness programs have been tied to physical abuses that make Straight seem like a cakewalk in comparison,  the psychological tortures of thestraights is right up there with them all--in my opinion.  Wes

Kathy:
Wes, Straight was not easy!!  I hope no one misinterprets my earlier post.  Straight was extremely ABUSIVE... both physically AND psychologically!!!! I was only trying to convey just how bad today's boot camps and schools are.  Since this board is specifically geared toward Straight Survivors, I'm sure they already know Straight was abusive and therefore, will be outraged when hearing that it appears that these other programs make Straight look like a day in the park.    This is not to say Straight wasn't all that bad... because... it was pure HELL!   (hope that conveys what I'm trying to say, a little better.)

Kathy:
ok, let me retract my statement about being "a cakewalk".... after sleeping on it and digesting all of this information... I have concluded that there are (as Wes said..) 2 types of teen torture.... the West Coast type and the East Coast type.  The are different and yet the same.... And finally, they are equally damaging, they just vary slightly on some of the techniques, yet there are many similarities in their techniques.  I bet that makes everything clear as mud.  :smile:

I was in jail several times for a few months each time before I was a client at Straight.  Before y'all whine about getting yelled at in a rehab, I suggest spending a few months is a county jail that is over 100 years old and has abusive CO's and lovely fellow "clients".
