Oprah is accepting show ideas for her last season.
« on: February 24, 2010, 01:31:31 AM »
Why not ...one last time...tell the people at Harpo to do a show on the troubled teen industry?

It was brought to my attention that several program survivors have already submitted this idea to the Oprah show so I sent one in and thought this might be a good collaborative effort.

Here's the link if you want to submit a story:

I like your enthusiasm but not your chances. Oprah loves kids gone bad stories!

I really need to express how I believe everyone no matter which school or bootcamp or placement center you were in, it is important to try at least to be heard. We are all starting out not having our issues and voices heard, so what would it hurt to at least contact Oprah and trying, all we can be told is NO. Ginger and Mike, I would hope you two would try as well, you both have had this forum for years. You have taken the time to group together many people from many walks of life that were effected by places. You have awesome knowledge and I encourage you both to reconize the amount of dedication you have given to us all. Che I would also hope you having all the knowledge you have that you could also contact these people, yes I know your like in China but you could guide this to the proper people as well. Mark, Matt, Fran, Joel, Felice, Danny I hope you all took the time to at least give it a whirl as well. hell what is the worst we can be told...that we all are fucken crazy...ummmmm we hear that daily so why stop.


I don't know you bossybee, but I like your spirit. (:

What program are you talking about?


TTI programs in general.  She's a big fan of shipping kids off to strangers to have them "fixed".  Same as her pal "Dr." Phil.

joel ive never seen an oprah when she has sent a kid to one of these places but it is because of her that dr phil is where he is and all you need to do is go to his website and type aspen education and it will come up with a list of shows he has done on it. Wilderness is his favourite for obnoxious boys but he also likes slutty/runaway girl shows and they get sent to places like youth care (brendan blum's killers) and copper canyon (wwasp spinoff) he also once sent a pretty severely disturbed girl to provo canyon.The only thing he did do was criticise some parents for sending their kid to wwasp but even then he was still to pussy to name them outright.

Thanks Joel,

When I heard of the idea, sent to me from a friend, several program survivors had already submitted e-mails to the Oprah people. I just posted it here to possibly gather momentum. I have sent e-mails to all types of media with little response in the past 2 years, with absolutely no response from Oprah. It hasn't been a big surprise, but it's always worth giving it another try. It doesn't cost anything.

I never meant to imply that this was a "probable" idea but I do think it is worth spending 2 minutes doing. Mainly because certain criteria have changed over time and it is possible that if 100 of us (random number) send this idea in, maybe the screeners at Harpo industries might take notice.

She should interview some of the survivors of this program, I bet they'd love to met her.

I want Oprah to do a show about women who accept cocaine for sex. Also, the cocaine was snorted out of his butt-crack. It smelled funny, not sure why though.
