Alternative to sending one's teen to a BM Warehouse?
My suggestion is that you should give up the notion of ?helping? teens, creating an institution to churn out cookie-cutter teens. Instead, you should hold large parenting seminars to train parents on how to set up a BM program right in the comfort of their own homes. While it would require some effort on their part, they should be reminded of the obvious benefits of this option.
You could then lay out the particulars for setting up such an environment:
Their teen would not be allowed to participate in normal teen activities; in fact, the teen would not be allowed outside the house. Of course, they would be forbidden from learning to drive. They would wear a uniform daily. Individuality must be forsaken for ?mental health?. Iron bars would be installed on all windows. They would not be allowed contact with extended family members, friends, or anyone on the outside; and would have very limited contact with other household members, until the parent had determined that they had obtained a certain level of compliance- no complaining to people outside the household about what was happening. The teen would have no access to a phone, computer or any form of media. Install a security system and surveillance cameras if necessary. Hire a goon to stand guard when you can?t be there and to transport the teen to AA three times a week. Education would be self-instructional. Set up an isolation room to be used as punishment for violation of intentionally irrational rules or for real or perceived attempts to escape. Require the teen to watch motivational speakers or religious zealots. The teen would eat frozen meals and take those meals separate from the family. The teen would have to ask permission to visit the toilet and would be allowed only 3 showers per week, supervised of course. Toiletries and condiments would have to be earned. The teen would not take part in family discussions, activities, outings or vacations. On a daily basis, and for hours on end, the teen would stand in front of other family members who would hurl obscenities at them, rage at them for the ?trouble and embarrassment? they?d caused the family. They would be drilled daily on how a model citizen must think and behave. In addition, the teen would be required to listen to their parents describe their past sexual histories in detail and be required to divulge their own. If the teen became too obstinate or otherwise demonstrated resistant to the BM conditioning, parents would instruct their hired goon to PT them in the blazing sun until they were too exhausted to complain.
There are so many particulars, I?m sure I?ve missed some. But that?s a good starting point.
This approach would save parents a boat load of money and work as a possible deterrent for younger children in the family who witnesses the conditioning of their older sibling(s). And the parents could almost be guaranteed forgiveness in the future, provided they ever come to their senses. It is much easier for a kid to forgive a parent for abusing them, than to forgive a parent for hiring it done.
