An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

Sasha,
I can't believe you brag about kicking Jack. He had just had surgury and you almost really hurt him. I love that guy and I hate you for doing that. Move on woth your life and don't brag about the awful shit you did in the past.

Concerned father-
Are you a member of a CEDU parents group? I don't know if they have one where you are located, but my parents joined one in Texas. It's just groups of parents who meet for dinner out once a month and talk about their kids (no actual CEDU school involvement in the group). My family still goes to catch up with friends they made while I was away- the group really helped them connect with some other CEDU parents and hear their advice. If you have questions I can try to find out more.[ This Message was edited by: Bean2 on 2006-03-10 10:51 ]

To the concerned parent:

I graduated from BCA in 1999 and had a great experience. It did really save my life. In regards to the meds...I asked to be on meds because of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). They were very helpful and listened to me about what I needed. But, if your child doesn't have any conditions like that and hasn't asked for help with depression (meds wise) I would go with your gut and tell them no. They tried to pressure my parents into doing things(they wanted me to change my name) and my Mom told them "No". they pushed her several times and she finally told them if they asked one more time she would be coming to get me. They never asked again. You are doing a good thing and I think you know that based on your post. I still thank my parents every time I go home for sending me- especially after I see or hear from other high school friends who weren't so lucky and are still in the same dark place they were at 16. I hope your family has a good experience overall. Good luck.[ This Message was edited by: Bean2 on 2006-03-10 07:32 ]

Thanks for your replies... Are you on myspace? Cedu group?

I went to college the next day after graduating from BCA...I missed orientation just to graduate!
Anyways, I ended up dropping out after a semester because I was finally free and didn't feel like going to class. I hadn't seen any of my friends from home in 2.5 years, so I went home almost everyday (hour drive) to party and see my friends. Everyone told me to take a semester off, but I was so ready to be free and on my own I wasn't really thinking it through.

I tried college a few months later, and finally ended up joing the military to try and get myself focused again. I've taken classes and am finally going back full time this fall.

At BCA my study style changed so dramatically. I got used to having nothing to do but study at night- and having so little distractions made it really hard to adjust back into having a job, friends, parties and going to school at the same time.

Has anyone else had similar experiences or trouble getting back into a normal study and work schedudule after being so tightly watched and free from outside activities for so long?

Interested to hear your stories...
