Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > The Troubled Teen Industry
Coldwater the Movie

Spots - Maybe I'm missing something here,but didn't think I was calling anyone stupid or an abuser. Objectivity, reading all sides is my purpose. Because I'm not in agreement with the abuse factor must mean I'm not real?? Maybe this isn't the thread to discuss this - it is about a movie.
Actually, so far the only person on this thread who seems to have inside hands on experience of any program (Straight) is Antigen. The rest are parents or relatives speaking for their kid in or out of a program. There may be former students here, so I apologize for not seeing you. I also know that adults pose as teens just to make it look credible.
I don't think this Teen Help Industry forum is as proactive as most of you would like it to be - too much judgment and attacking for those that don't share you're point of view -
Maybe I'll start a new thread to keep this out of the movie thread -

Honey,
Keep researching your thesis.
Someday when you have a child or grandchild who is ripped from your life without notice or discussion, and you don't see or talk to them for a couple of years, and the few moments you do have are spent with them recanting the mind *ucking insanity they live day-to-day which you can do nothing about, THEN you might have a clue as to why some of us are judmental about the industry.
"Judgment" has gotten a bad rap. It's actually a good thing... the ability to discern right and wrong. By the way, many ex spouses incarcerate their child as revenge on the other parent. Lots of us were/are in that situation. You can't fathom what some of us have been through. Lively passionate debate and honesty (speaking YOUR truth) are good, even if tempers flare. ::bigmouth:: and somehow we'd hear it differently? Perhaps because you are "writing a thesis" your "credibility" might convince the lot of us to suddenly see the whole industry through different eyes? Or because you "say" you know graduates? And, we're still waiting for you to answer the questions posed to you... or DID you just drop in to plug WWASP and "judge" those of us who have a different opinion?
This board will be what it will be. If it served no other purpose than to provide a space for people to share their heart felt pain, their rage and anger, it will have been an invaluable service.
