There is information about CEDU suicides I could send you.  I don’t know if I should because of potential…problems that could cause. Make no mistake about it, CEDU murdered.

2 or 3 student suicides on campus.  1 or 2 suicides after their wonderful Cedu experience.  1 staff member shot himself, Kim Quigly?

A couple of drug overdoses after graduation.

2 or 3 missing students that hopefully aren't dead.

Great work, Cedu.  

Oh, and I thought I'd pass this shit on to you...................

Amazing that there are still those that loved Cedu.   :beat:

try another castle:
Hell, man. There are still people from the people's temple who love Jimmy boy. (I couldnt believe it myself.)

About as literal as you can get when coining the term "survivor".

Oh FUCK. I think I missed the larry king interview with Linda Kasabian. (One of the manson girls.)

King and a manson girl. Who is more looney tunes? My vote's on Larry.

RMA Survivor:
When I went to RMA between 1984-1986, we were told that one student, shortly after graduation committed suicide.  I knew him, his name was Bailey.  

Another student I went to school with came in as an alcoholic.  He graduated about three months before I did.  He was drinking severely the moment he got home.  When I went to live with him out in Colorado for about a year he was drinking on average of a gallon of hard alcohol and half a keg of beer every day.  Which is an incredible amount.  He drank from the moment he woke up till the moment he passed out.  It was unreal to watch.  RMA sure didn't help.

I know of at least seven students who were there when I was who went right back to using drugs, some heavily as soon as they got home.

And there was another student named something-Rensler who killed himself a few years back.  At least I think he did.

But I think such a study should include a sort of "success rate" assessment.  I know from bumping in to or hearing about dozens of students over the years that many were never able to find much success.  None of those I heard about completed college, all bounced from job to job for years despite many having very wealthy and connected parents.  None of the ones I know are married, none have kids, none have families.  And I think all of them maintained the same troubled relationship with their parents that they had when they went to RMA.  

From my experience, RMA didn't just keep kids in the same rut they were before going there, the program weakened kids so much they were unable to really progress when they left.  For many the lack of an education really hurt them.  Parents not being updated up progress made, or helping to build trust with parents meant that at graduation the parents felt their kids were the same as before.  No actual drug treatment or alcohol treatment programs, just a setting where kids had no access or limited access.  Thus the desire to use substances was not removed through therapy, only access was removed.  So kids were likely to use or abuse again when given the chance or exposure, and they did.  

Some made it, but I think most did not.  And whether you are talking about generally failing or actually killing yourself, success is success.  Suicide is just the highest form of failure, not the only kind.

Loli:
You really can't tabulate the suicide count accurately.   CEDU trauma can fester for a long time before one pulls the trigger. And then you have to factor in to the equation all those who tried and failed.  After CEDU, it takes awhile for the kool aid to wear off and you realize the whole thing was one big emotional clusterfuck. You get out thinking you know it all, and it's quite a comedown to realize NONE of the "special" tools are applicable to real life... and you were stunted from the normative emotional and developmental experiences that help direct you into maturity... not to the mention that you have to somehow scramble to make up for the lack of educational  growth. Even then, you might still believe its the world not you and all your "special" tools... until you finally crash and burn and realize you were just a kool aid drinking fool.

Yep.
