Second Nature Wilderness Program
Anne Bonney:
--- Quote from: "SUCK_IT" ---I'm just asking Anne. Did Whooter lie about other things too or just the whole son/son/daughter thing? To me it looks like he had two sons and a daughter all in programs, even though he never mentioned the daughter to me before only the sons. Do you have evidence to show he's lying about more than just the kids he had in programs?

--- Quote from: "Guest" ---Speaking of wilderness programs and sex, it happens all the time... at least when I was there it did. Its not like they handed out condoms so I wouldn't be surprised if some of the girls go home from wilderness with a whole new set of issues brewing inside them. I never saw a wild tribe like orgy until I was in wilderness, and don't think the staff don't join in. Parents have no idea what happens out there, it was insane.

Thanks guest,I knew it wasnt as bad as people were saying here. The kids do have fun on these trips, I kind of thought that.

I admit that, Anne, but read through the thread and see what they did to this woman "worried Anne" and calling her son gay and pretending to be survivors with her son.
I dont see it as being wrong at all. I feel sorry for the woman. I would probably do it again if the situation warranted.

QFT in its original format. Whooter pleads "guilty" to lying about his entire phony "family story." Priceless.
Anne Bonney:
--- Quote from: "SUCK_IT" ---I still don't get it. Because some extemists here made lude comments about some lady you posted your son's success story? Why not just be proud of your son and tell your story anyway? It doesn't matter now anyway, you admit your son was at Wilderness and that he did great and that's all that matters.

I don't either. If he just wanted to come to her defense, he'd have just posted the "truth" about his "daughter". He doesn't explain why he felt the need to make up a different gender child.

Anne, I was posting as a "guest". If I said "daughter" people would have figured out it was me. In fact if you read the thread people were convinced that I was "Worried Anne". So you can see the trolls were out in full force on that thread. I think I did a good thing. Read through it you will see what I mean.

Whooter:
--- Quote from: "WorriedAnne" ---I know that this site is very much against all programs of any kind, but I just wanted to post our own success story (for the moment at least !).
Our son, aged 15, was out of control, constantly angry and depressed, not eating to the point of anorexia, failing school and using pot and alcohol to such a point that he couldn't function.
On the recommendation of an educational consultant (long story), we sent him to Second Nature in Utah, where he spent nine weeks. Last week I went to the campsite and spent the day and a night with the group, and then left with my son the next day, to take him to his "aftercare" as they call it.
And our son was absolutely transformed. He said it saved his life. He is happy, calm, funny, and gained nearly 20 pounds while he was in the program. He's proud that he can do that fire thing with the bow, that he survived tough hikes, and that he can cook over a fire. He is really a totally changed young man, and he said without Second Nature he couldn't have done it.
I found the staff to be good, but the therapist in charge of our son was exceptional, absolutely outstanding. Very understanding and still pointing out the sensitive issues in a way that we could all make some changes in communication so we don't all blow up all the time, as we've been doing for the past year.
So I thought I'd post something incredibly positive. I am thrilled to have my son back, in good shape, physically and mentally, and I was extremely impressed with the care of the boys, both physical and emotional. I know this program doesn't work with all boys, but it worked with our son.

This is the OP. It was a good find, SUCK_IT, thank you. This represents one of the success stories and shows one of the many kids that do well in wilderness programs.
