MorganMDC:
Well, I'm not sure this is where this post goes, but at this moment, I don't give a shit.
I'm at risk of being sent to the Academy at Sisters - http://www.academyatsisters.org/ for all of you who aren't aware, - and from my perspective, it looks like hell.
There is no real review anywhere online of this place, and thus, I'm hoping someone here can give me a little insight towards what the program is like, etc.
It appears that they will strip me of my communication with friends, music, and band clothing.
This sounds horrible to me.
Anyone with experience or knowledge of this academy?
Anything is greatly appreciated...

Oh yeah. It's a shithole. Best case scenario: You endure months of psychological abuse as they continually attempt to re-mold your mind. Worst case? Look at my signature.

Morgan, there are a LOT of things you can do to protect yourself right now. I'll post some here and PM you with some others.

The first and most obvious is to get your parents in contact with members of Fornits. There are a whole lot of people here who were seriously, repeatedly abused. They can tell your parents things that no one was meant to know about.

The second is to get yourself an attorney. No, I'm seriously not kidding, and yes, I know you're a minor. Give THIS guy a call.

He's been fighting these shitholes for years. If he can't represent you he can get you in contact with people in your state who can help. You might think "He can't do shit"- he's a fucking lawyer. They have ways of doing shit.

The third is self-protection, and this gets ugly. You have no idea of the tricks that have been used to send kids there. Don't accept any drinks from your parents before bedtime, as it could be drugged. (This has happened). If they tell you that you're taking a "vacation" somewhere else nearby, it's a fucking trick. If they try to drive you there themselves your best bet is to jump out of the car and get the cops involved. If they try to fly you there, make a huge scene on the airplane and tell the captain that you do not want to be on that aircraft (modern airport security procedures will make sure you *don't* fly). Your parents could send "escorts" to drag you at the middle of the night; there are a number of defenses here, but the best bet is to carry a knife and start stabbing something. (A girl protecting herself against a couple of large men? I doubt the cops will prosecute). One kid handcuffed himself to the bed and left the key in his mouth.

You *really* don't want to have to start doing shit in the third category. But it's better than what your parents have in store.

Nihilanthic:
I suggest you call elberg on a cellphone while getting far away from your house, friends, your friend's parents, and anyone who could know who to rat you out to, and start thinking like you're a murder suspect and GTFO.

Alternatively, break literally everything in your parent's house and then turn yourself in to the cops. I recommend a claw hammer.

Nihilanthic:
I would consider talking to relatives who might find this fishy and asking if they'd take you in - but do NOT give your location away unless you know they're guaranteed to not fuck you over. If they pick you up and take you to your house, crash the vehicle.

If you get 'escorted', crash the vehicle. Grab the wheel and stomp the throttle and don't let him touch the brake. Make every attempt to over power them or get them in an awkward situation, such as coming on to them or play the desperate/slutty/whatever card. Programs are a living fucking hell and frankly mutilation and prison time is preferable, as would be giving road-head before crashing the vehicle.

You would be held incommunicado with no way to reach family, legal representation, or anyone at all on the outside. They will continually torture you for years.  This is not a joke. This is no bullshit, this shit is real and yes it happens in the USA.

Get food, get a weapon, get resources, don't even leave your phone on - take the battery OUT and keep it so a) you can't be tracked and b) the charge lasts longer. Take the charger with you and charge it at outlets you can find, like homeless people do with prepaid phones. Also, in case I didn't make the point clearly.

GET OUT.

Nihilanthic:
I should add Portland has a very well developed street and homeless community - however you want to put it, I do not want to digress to politics - and they would probably be willing to help you to at least some degree.

You strike me as very, very innocent. You were ridiculously easy to locate. Find a way to communicate and we can arrange talking on the phone if you wish. But keep in mind your innocence will attract as many predators in a program as it would on the street, though in the latter you're quite a bit better off.
