No one is downing this forum or what people have gone through. Truth is, that if that is how you feel Oppositional, then yes, maybe I do need to shove something in my pipe, but I sure as hell will not shove it up my ass. It sounds like you never got the chance to grow up or something. I was simply giving my opinion. That is what this forum is about right?! People being able to voice how they feel. Well, that is what I am doing on here. I have a TON of friends from that place that do not see things as bad in their lives because they went to a school. I guess when you talk about abuse, I have to wonder WHAT abuse means to you. I come from a past of abuse, and I don't consider being at a emotional growth boarding school as abuse. Yes, some of the things they did was terrible, but honestly at the end of the day when you got to sit with your friends and listen to some mellow music, that was my favorite part! But hey, to each their own right? But maybe Oppositional, if you are going to be righteous with someone and use the word CARE while you are doing it, maybe you should take your own advice and come off, and little more....CARING!! Hee hee!
