--- Quote from: "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.

I'm not necessarily innocent, so much as sheltered from this situation.
I have not yet had to deal with bullshit of this level, seeing as to how up until now, I've pretty much raised myself since age nine.
I don't think homelessness would be too much of an issue, I lived on the streets of Portland for an entire year and did well.

I strongly suggest returning to that if they're really going to pull this shit.
Then again, I should ask how you found out they were considering this, or what their perceived problems are they seek to 'fix'.

They straight up told me they were going to do it.
They're taking me for a tour on Monday, and I'd be leaving the 18th of August.
My mother is filling out the paperwork as I type this.
They are trying to fix my "lieing" and my "bad grades" and my "lack of motivation towards college".
Meh, yeah, I suppose it is late over there.

I cannot believe the program would not warn your parents out of telling you in advance, but their lack of due diligence is your gain, so to speak. I've seen documents for WWASPS programs stating to NOT let your child know in advance, for fuck's sake.
If you know how to stay secluded and communicate incommunicado I'd point them towards information about such places. Even if they don't wake up and smell the suffering, at least you can say you tried, and it could help you to stay out of contact and far away until you're 18.
When you do turn 18, at any rate, community college would probably be a good option. It's honesty easy and not a pain in the ass like Highschool is, and if you have no income you could easily qualify for grants. Then again, the whole reason for their need to 'fix' you probably comes from you not neatly fitting into their ideas of what a middle class kid should be, right?
I don't know if I'm more upset with having to tell you this, or that the USA could allow such a situation to occur, but it's the most I can do from 3000 miles away. If I knew anyone near you I'd try to arrange something, but everyone I'm an acquaintance with is chickening out.
Take care of yourself. If you have siblings I'd warn then too.

She even let me read the forms. It's more idiocy then anything on her part.
I simply wanted to move the UK to finish school, which "is an option if you complete this life saving program" - exact quote, no doubt.
I'm not well dressed, a cheerleader, and getting straight A's... What other view of middle class girls is there anymore?
I appreciate what you've offered thus far anyway, every little bit helps. With no other information on it except one most besides this on the forums, not much one can learn.
Nihilanthic:
While absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence, all I can suggest is that either the program is new, or isn't as bad as others.
Then again, equivalence fallacies or rationalization of a bad thing as not being "as bad" as something else is fucking stupid - I probably don't need to tell you this, of course. Nevertheless, I do hate that I'd have to even bring this up to anyone, ever, let alone tell someone to not trust their parents ever again.
What forums are you speaking of, might I ask?
