Fair in my experience is an illusion. right and wrong good or bad are up there with black and white. There is a lot of grey here. I beleive the only way to know what is right and what is wrong or what you want and what you don't want is in you, your heart, your gut, my heart, my gut.
I can't make anyone take perception of right and wrong. It should be classified with stealing, when someone sells thier fear because they are afriad, or told to act happy and smile, when they are hurting and in pain, or blame someone else for your life, or lie to themselves and others to please someone else.
I really know nothing, except what I feel. and I feel all of you in my heart and my head for the last couple of months in away I haven't for years. The truth is that I love every single one of you even if I wouldn't go fishing with you I still love you. The same was present for me when I was there.
I know it felt like no one cared when I got out like I had been giving up on agian, thrown away. These are thoughts and feelings that sometimes are my lead in this life. Focusing on the facts are very important. Searching for those facts is the most important thing I have been doing here. We all got out into the real world no where near another and used the telelphone, or saw eachother once in a while. In my experience this is life, the love is still there.

Ps I don't understand this fair thing. How are we defining fair? That we were treated fairly like as in equals. OR with dignity and respect. I think were treated niether equally (kiss asses got more perks, older girls got more attention-in my time) nor with respect ( I don't think I even have to explain that one!) Just read all posts.[ This Message was edited by: katfish on 2005-05-12 10:12 ]

To quote the great (and yes I mean great) Mike Finn, "Fair only happens in Pomona once a year."
If any one files a law suit against MMS I will be on the front lines on their behalf.
While I don't think that it is or was a perfect place, I am hear writing because of it. I cherish my time there and my life after it. If you hate MMS so much then move on and forget about it. They are not responsible for you misery. You are.
I am probably sounding really harsh, but MMS was as difficult as it was rewarding and I have spent the last 10 years since I left working my ass off to have a successful life. Not success as they define it, but success in feeling happy and saitsfied that I am making the right choices for me. If you've made poor choices and feel guilty or unhappy that is not the school's problem.
Things that I have been descirbed in these pages as abuse I think is way off. I was forced to eat food I hate, and made to perform all manner of physical labor against my will. But that was the whole point. It wasn't about the food or the task, but about relinquishing control and changing. Again to quote Mike, "The best you could do got you there," so if you think that you would have been better off without MMS I think you are probably wrong.
