Parents:
My name is Hannah. I was at rocklyn for 6 months and got out only a few days ago. I'm 17, and i was a kid that was caught up in heartache. my parents didn't like the path they saw me heading down to, destruction and hell. so they sent me to this school in hopes id get better? sound similar ? Fact is they simply took me from one hell and placed me into another. I found it to be the most traumatic experience of my life hands down, and every day was a struggle to get through. I dont know if that sense of abandonment from my parents will ever go away, i know the mental and physical scars wont. Being finished the program and COMPLETING the program, being told i was "ready" to go home, i can honestly say looking back it was not worth it. not at all. I hardened.
i know you parents love your kids and see them struggling and slipping away, but i just lived the worst 6 months of my life. and was taught that manipulation, guilt trips, swearing, and lies were the keys to life. despite my parents wasted time, money and energy i will change for the better. but its not cause of that place, its cause i can make that decision for myself. have some faith in your kid. they need to feel you there, not be sent away.
i was so overjoyed to hear the summer program was cancelled because i would feel sick leaving the friends i made behind in the war zone, knowing what hell they'd inevitably go through every day.
parents are very optamistic going into the program, but not one (that ive seen in the 24 girls leaving) girl's parents have been at all impressed at the end. the school is unorganized and only has its own sneaky agenda.
its like "lets feed our kid to an angry gang and let them beat the crap out of her" she could die, she'll inevitably get hurt, but hey whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger? NO. wtf dont do that. dont.
also i swear like a sailor now because my environment has been constant chaos and hate for so long. so please mom and dad... google something else. not Rocklyn
