hey guys, I was in here before when looking for sites and info on Straight, child mind torture techniques for a psychology class two years ago. Than just the other day while having nothing to do at all at work, I googled myself and among other things, came to this site again. I saw a name, Garrett, as well as Sully. I was in Straight for a little over two years '88-90, and spent a lot of time misbehaving, running away, flirting with the guys side and making ever lasting friendships. Let me know who you are if you remember the old times...

I was there at the same time.  Springfield then Stoughton.  I know you Damon.  Your mother's artwork was in the hallways of Straight...not half bad as I can remember.

I Googled "Straight Inc." today.  I don't know why I have never done it before today, but I just never thought to.  I know the place sucked, but I mean c'mon.  Have you seen the web sites out there?  "The Straights" website!  Holly shnikies!  Was it that bad?  I was in there a full year and like I said it sucked, but there were no long term effects.  And I did the full show too.  Tried to cop out, got in fights in VA, got restrained, put in for withdrawal....You know the things a teenage boy is supposed to do when he's told he can't do something.  

Anyway...today I'm married, have two kids, have a nice house, phat job and make lots of cash.  The thing of it is, after Straight, I never drank or did a drug again.      

From all I've read today it seems like, for many folks out there, Straight was the most significant thing that has ever happened to them and they have chosen to define themselves by it.  Not so much on this message chain, but there are some people out there that need to move on.

By the way, Bob K, you lived at my house.

I too am from that era.  Who remembers Dr. Levey?  She handed out special meds like M&Ms.  

Anonymous' posting about having a family and making lots of cash gives me pause. How many really did stay straight and is there a correlation between staying straight and being successful.  

Maybe we don't need to be so philosophical.  How about this?  Did anyone actually stay straight who went there?  It sounds like Anonymous did.  Anyone know of any others?

My life has gone on since straight. I have traveled, gone back to school, hated some and loved many. After I left straight I clowned around in Boston getting more high and more drunk than before. I allowed myself to be influenced by even more chaos than before straight because ultimately I learned that I made the decisions pertaining to my life. Unfortunately, I cared not that much about my life. However, the roots of that pathology can be traced further back than straight.
What I lost in straight was my high school education, "normal" teenage experiences and the ability to take responsibility for myself by myself. As if without intervention that could have ever taken place.
I am now 32. I have a awesome little boy who is now 9 years old. I also have a 9 year old little girl who is my foster daughter. Her mother didn't want her and would not take care of her. She had less opportunity available for her at her birth than I did in the two years I rebelled at straight. Again, choices... Usually we have some, but sometimes we do not.
I sit here at 7 months pregnant thinking about how just 2 months ago I finally had everything I ever wanted. Good job, good children, a new life on its a way for my fiancee and myself. I was so in love. On October 16th, my fiancee was killed in a car accident as he drove home after work.
That is my reality, and as you get older you find that the things that once you bitched about have really lost their relevance.
Life goes on for some and for others it does not. Everything in between is truely a mystery.

Leigh,

That is a horrible story.  I'm sorry.  I sincerely hope that better days are ahead for you and your children.  The most important work you will ever do is within the walls of your own home.  I?ve found strength by being there for my children and providing them an environment that I didn?t have.  

I hope I don?t sound preachy?I?m being sincere.

Best of luck

I spent 7 months in Straight Sprinfield.  I was there from November 86 till may 87, Ira was still there when I coped-out.  He was diabetic and about 4' 11" right?

I think so, did he have long hair on his intake?  Remember Rob Frey, and his older brother.  Also that black dude Emmanuel Lewis, was bustin' many a people up.  Scott Ward, Amy and joey Theismann, Ira's last name was Kaufmann.  Jack Guthridge, Mike Provost, many more i can not think of.  What is your name? fka

The misbehavin' Jason you are referring to was Jason Theune. I stayed in touch with him after I got out but lost touch with him around 1989-1990. I had forgotten about Ira Kaufman. I think he was the honorary infirmary inmate. Diabetic little guy, who I used to rock out with on my sick days I had to spend in the infirmary. I saw Fred Herring post something recently, and that was good to see he is doing well.

Glad to see things are still alive and well here on Fornits.com. It's been a while since I've posted, but I guess I've got my 19th anniversary coming up, so I was thinking about the hellhole on Backlick Road again... I drove past it again on my last visit to VA wondering where many of my old friends from there have moved on to, and hoping they are doing better today than back then.

Well, that's enough memories for now... It's 4:20 and it's time to break out some of TBPITW and enjoy another day in paradise.  :smokin:

Aloha!
