Sign up today ... don't delay. These camps are filling up so fast it could be years before we can save your kid's life ... and by that time, they could be an adult ... and then it's too late.
LMAO ... and there lies the irony.

If you think about it, the teen help industry has done a good job bullshitting parents into believing time is of the essence (in terms of intervening in the life of an at-risk teen) when in reality, what the programs are REALLY worried about is the kid turning 18, the legal age in most states where it would require a COURT ORDER to force an unwilling teen into one of these programs.
It's all about the magic number 18.

Great! I've been banned from there for a long time. I can read, just can't post. Let me know how long it stays up. I'll give it to the end of the business day.

Well I took out the last paragraph, im sorry but I would of gotten baned for that, and I did not want that. I'm turning these peoples lives and views upside down by questioning them, and I think some of them are not that bad. I have had good conversations with two of them, they were just deceaved I think. I'm really enjoying fighting some of them though.

To lead him/her to believe that they should receive anything they want with no expectation? These parents obviously got confused- you give love unconditionally, not material possessions.

Didn't Jada's parents lie to Jada to get her to go to SW. Even if they didn't, some of the other parents on the show last night lied to their kids about where they were going. Sagewalk and the couselors didn't seem to think twice about that. I sure didn't hear them talk to the parents about their problem with lieing. NO, only Jada's lieing is wrong. What a bunch of crap.
