Treatment Abuse, Behavior Modification, Thought Reform > CEDU / Brown Schools and derivatives / clones
I daresay eight pizza sticks!

I rememeber hearing staff say that to kids. I remember asking, "Why are you saying that? I thought we all lived in our heads...? Isn't 'being intellectual' an important part of being human?" Russ and Brandi hated that. I would have said, "an integral part..." but I figured that would be too big a word for them.
I swear, it felt like a cult. I was glad I could leave, but sorry the kids had to stay.

Oh yeah, "get out of your head" was a big one at CEDU. If I had a dime for every time I heard that... Supposedly, you were supposed to get in touch with your feelings, but those ended up being manufactured anyway because of all the badgering...
That was what CEDU was all about anyway... losing your cognitive abilities and stop thinking for yourself... even your feelings were dictated.

I remember that one. Do you remember "Fuck you for that!" Paula Rudy used to say that one all the time. I know they always used to as us "how does that make you feel" in our forums too! I told some of my friends about the lingo used and they couldnt believe it. Like "bans", where you couldnt talk to people. They just didnt understand hoe this could be enforced.. but I know all of you understand! And if you didn't follow them , then you were "out of agreement". God I wish I could remember some other stupid lingos used!

"PROJECTING!!"--This was funny as staff often clearly projected their own issues of their own eating disorders/drug abuse/sexual issues onto us.
"Running your thinking"
"Running your feelings"
"What are you doing to your little girl/boy every day?" I just wanted to say, I'm not a little girl--I'm 16 for God's sakes and I can't re-do my childhood, so talk straight." (The irony is when they say this after the verbally abusive raps.)
Wish I remembered more propheet lingo but I only went thru Truth...
Son Of Serbia:
Heres a couple for you:
"We stay in agreement to save are lives."
"When you tell people they are Out of Agreement, you are saving their lives."
"If you don't tell people when they are Out of Agreement, you are helping them die."
"If you help other people to die, then you are out of agreement, and you are killing yourself."
Guy Bonnano wrote all of this on a chalk board and made everyone in my discovery peer group do a writing assignment on why this is true, and then each one of us had to read what we wrote for the group. I had only been at cedu for a month, I remember thinking that :This was the dumbest shit I've ever Heard!
I wrote that: "Cedu Sucks, Cedu's agreements are stupid, and we shouldn't have to follow them anyways. Ratting on someone will not save their lives, all it will do is get them in trouble, and that there is nothing lower in this world than being a fucking Rat!"
When I read My paper aloud, everyone in my peer group froze. I mean dead silence. Guy Bonnano's
face turned bright red, and then sorta purple, he was so pissed off that he couldn't talk, Guy stormed out of the room. Nobody said anything. Steve Laird came back into the room like 2 minutes later and told me to go with him. Steve put me on a table immediately, and told me I was on bans from challenge on down, and that I was not to move from the table, or leave the dining room until my dorm head comes to escort me for lunch and then to raps.
I was put in a rap with Guy Bonnano
Steve Laird, Russ Decker, and about half of my peer group, + older students. They "Ripped Me a New Asshole!" (anyone remember that phrase?).
Guy Bonnano: "The Reason Why You CHOOSE to be Out Of Agreement is because YOU FEEL SO GODDAMN SMALL ABOUT YOURSELF!!!!"
SOS: "FUCK YOU!"
Steve Laird: "Why do you act like an asshole, Do you like being an ASSHOLE?"
SOS: "Yes. FUCK YOU!"
GUY BONNANO: "The reason you like being an Asshole, is because YOU ARE A COWARD AND YOU KNOW THAT NO ONE WILL HIT YOU HERE! YOU'RE A
BIG PUSSY!!!"
SOS: "Yeah, Whatever, GO FUCK YOURSELF!"
STEVE LAIRD:
"You FEEL SO SMALL INSIDE, Your just too SCARED and DISHONEST To Admit The Truth, So You act Like Some MACHO TOUGH GUY, when the truth is that YOUR DICK IS PROBABLY ONLY THIS BIG!!!"(pinches thumb and index finger together)
SOS: "GO FUCK SIERRA, Steve!" (sierra was steve's ugly, mangy-ass, dog)
OLDER STUDENT:
"THIS IS MY SCHOOL, MY HOME! YOU WILL STAY IN AGREEMENT! I'M DRAWING THE LINE! YOU WILL RESPECT MY HOME!"
SOS: (both middle fingers raised in the air)
"FUCK YOU! FUCK YOUR SCHOOL AND FUCK YOUR HOME!
I'LL PISS ALL OVER YOUR FUCKING HOME! LICK MY BALLS IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!!!"
Whole Rap: "AAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!" (The screams were so loud and coming from everywhere that poor SOS never got another word out.) Even my thoughts were drowned in screams.
True story.
I spent 10 days on a table, and almost a month on INDEFINATE work assignments and dishes because of that rap. It was
well worth it, though. I just loved seeing how bad I could piss those fuckers off!
