Mr. Bean, you didn't need your transcript from Whitmore to re-enroll at your school when you got home? How did they know what "grade" you had been promoted to, or how many credits you had earned at Whitmore?

I sure hope you get your transcript from Cheryl.
I know 2 kids who Cheryl would not send them to, and one had to repeat a whole year of school, and one had to take the GED to get into college.
You know both of them if you just went home.

Why do you think Cheryl would do this?
Also, if you felt you and Cheryl really had an honest relationship, then why wouldn't she believe you all they time? That sounds weird. Sort of like manipulation to me.

Hi Elliot,
  Well, I'm really not hiding who I am either.
There's a lot about me on this site, but my interest in the troubled parent industry really goes back to the brief self description in my signature.

  If you want to know more, well I host this site so the "About Us" page is all about us (though probably a little out of date)

  It's really not necessary for me to know everything about you to have this conversation. And, for what it's worth, I believe that the Sudweeks believe in what they're doing. As for what I want, I want to know if they understand what they're doing and if you kids and/or your parents understand it.

  You might make a comparison to medical treatment. It's true, for example, that chemo therapy is a good and accepted treatment for some kinds of cancer. And it's true that some forms of cancer are first diagnosed by lumps in your flesh. But chemo doesn't cure all lumps. Some are cysts, some are benign tumors, some are fat, some are other things. And chemo has serious, often deadly, side effects. So you don't go around giving chemo to anyone who presents w/ any kind of fleshy lump. You have to understand what it is, how it works and what it's good for.

  I want to know what form of therapy Whitmore (and other programs) offers, how it works and what it's good for.

  From what you say, I'm glad you're back in school and looking forward to college. And it's good that you have high aspirations. But are you certain it's good to just shut out all of your old friends? Part of growing up has to do w/ gaining a certain level of self determination. I have old friends who I've known for decades now who are doing nothing I find worthwhile with their lives. Even though I don't want to sit around watching Star Trek, smoking pot and drinking beer for all my waking hours outside of work, I don't feel any need to shut this guy out of my life. We're still good friends (though if anyone who knows him finds this and tells him about it, he'll be pissed. But I think it's a safe bet that won't happen cause he also thinks the internet is a conspiracy.)

  The friends I had before the program, I lost. And I regret that bitterly. That's one bit of Program advice I should have passed up, but it took me awhile to figure that out. By that time, all my old friends had moved on and I'd gone on in my own direction. Ya' can never go back home.


 
A democracy is two wolves and a sheep voting on what to have for dinner.
A republic is where the sheep get to pick which wolves vote on what to have for dinner.
But in a constitutional republic, voting on dinner is strictly
forbidden.

Mr. Bean:
yes i do know two of those kids who didn't get their transcrips and it does kinda makes me wonder if i even going to get mine, but thanks for telling me this it kinda revealed your identity. I would reveal it on here  but it would kinda be pointless since this whole site is basically about opinions from people who don't want to reveal their identity. but thats not the point. Why do you choose at the minor things that the Whitmore has done and not the positive things they are doing and have done like helping me

sounds to me like ginger is going through mid life crisis and smokes way to much pot. just cuz your program didnt work for you. doesnt mean the rest of us are like you. whitmore works. something i dont think yull ever understand. you think we are all as corrupt as you. we are not. we dont hate our parents for sending us there. i have a whole yr of college behind me. good grades too. i have a good relationship with my parents. and i dont miss my old friends. thank god they are out of my life. i can make good choices. i am not perfect but thats o.k. now because i dont hang around people like you who bash the good things in the world because they are so miserable. you are a miserable person. the sudweeks and whitmore are about as perfect as yu get in this imperfect world. hey go live with sadam or somebody who thinks like you. im american and act like it. you evil person.
