it worked for me

Antigen:
Charles Manson was a brilliant man. He was also a fine musician and quite charming and charismatic. Had a wonderful sense of humor and, you must admit, great drive and ambition.

All of the above is true. But does it accurately describe Charles Manson?

I came in here and read the posts. I left MMS w/o graduating... the school saved my life and helped me find a relationship with my parents we're still working on but I also had some bad experiences especially because I had a past that involved being very afraid of getting in trouble.

You say that this place is only for people to vent... but when I came in here it seemed more like people pushing an agenda... that these places are all evil and need to be shut down (I am exaggerating a little). I did see some real posts but there are quite a few that seem to be putting the people who had a good experience on the defensive. Like that one before in this topic about john groups and whatnot.

who ARE these people posting, what interest do they have in people's experiences... what is the fucking agenda? it seems very not straightfoward to me.

and the people who didn't even go to the school seem more defensive/attacking/skewed/what have you than the people who actually went. it seems they latch onto something somebody says and takes it for truth without knowing all the complexities to a situation, which i don't know if you ever could know without having gone to MMS. it is a rather unique situation and experience, and it was different for everybody.. okay i'm starting to lose my train of thought...

if people had bad experiences talk about them... i read one post that was just badmouthing staff and stuff, not really expressing anything i felt was real.

i don't know... i don't think i'm saying what i'm trying to say.

I think people that dind't go to theschool were also affected by it...I don't think that their opinions are less valid just because they are outsiders. I mean, it has affected my family, my friends, they way that I live my life and relate to new people I meet. I think they have a different perception of what happened because they may have only seen us during home visits, graduations, etc. They may have only seen the results of what we went through. To me that is enough. I wish that more people that didn't go there would post about how they saw their daughter, or sister, or cousin change, for better or for worse. Don't discount just because they were not there.
