I am a little late on this post but I went to MMS while Mia was there and she was one of the most genuine friends I had. I am not discrediting some of the other girs that were my friends, but I really cared about Mia and a lot of people liked her. I forgot about her not coming back because it was so long ago and honestly was unexpected. Just for the record I can't honestly say anything regarding the drugs, who knows or cares, but I don't believe ever said anything regarding prostitution (definetly not defending John) I only say that b/c that would have made many girls angry at John and I don't believe I would have forgotten that. If you are willing to share, where does Mia live now?
-Sorry, anon (This website gets a little out of control)

WAIT.. I just wrote you about Mia being my friend and john not saying anything about the prostituting, but don't remember about the drugs... Now I read this message from you. Do you not know where Mia is?

Well, I don't have any new or helpful info as to where Mia is or what happened to her. This must have happened after I graduated in '98.
I have to say, ONCE AGAIN, I am floored by what I'm able to gather from piecing all these posts together. Betsy just told me about Liz Mac and a girl named Blair, lawsuits?, and then what bits of info I know from staff/alums I've stayed in contact with...I'm still trying to take this all in and sort (trying to at least) through facts from emotional exagerrations...c'mon, ya' know it happens.
BUT...on the lighter side, it's really nice to see some old, but familiar names...Ashlee, Laura Ezell, Betsy...and Molly, I know, I know, I've been slackin' on getting back to you and Yes...I'm on it though now.
Love you girls and that has nothing to do with being "brainwashed" at MMS!

I think it's hard to exaggerate the side effects of being in such an oppresssive environment, everything by it's nature takes an extreme positioning givne the extremity of the environment- no joke,
I will always care for the girls there...well, some--- definitely not MMS brainwashing, but certainly it amde relationships ...well, extremely intense b/c, again extremetiy of conditions in that most unnatural of enviroments

I didn't write or mean exaggerating side effects; "emotional exaggeration". I'm referring to the fact that an emotional state or response is almost inherently a separation from fact. As in you "feel" emotions; you don't think or logically develop emotion.Here's a simple example: For real, I am scared of most creepy crawly things, particularly spiders. My logical mind knows that despite the "ick" factor, it's easy to "squash" problem with the bottom of my shoe and then life goes on. BUT, when I come across a bigger spider and caught off guard by it, I usually let out screech and jump back. My emotional response is exaggerated in relationship to the actual situation that I logically know how to quickly solve without incident.
When I use the term "emotional exaggeration", it's not meant as a cut down or a way to invalidate someone, something, etc. Does that clear it up any?
