An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

No, they did not refer me to whitmore.  I had an ed consultant do that.  It was actualy not a bad place.  I mean, I don't think I would choose to go out there on my own, however, it kept me out of trouble for the time being, and it really made me appreciate all the little things that I take for granted every day.  I don't know if it really helped me in the long run, but I would recommend it to someone who's child has lots of difficulty with athority.  I think this program would help that out a lot.

Hey.....  Three springs caught my eye.  I graduated from Auldern Academy.  Did you have any contact with the people there?

"hey courture i mean torture i mean ugly (saw a picture) sounds to me like your mad you took so long to graduate. you should open your eyes. over 100 kids have graduated since you were there. only a handful you could call loosers. how does it feel to have your feelings validated by 1/16th of the didnt do so well angry hostile kids. 95 percent of us are winners. no Ged no bad transcripts. just good old graduation and  valid diplomas, did the stuff kind of kids. by the way cheryl talked i thought you were kindof cool.by the way you talk, you are one messed up kid looking for validation in all the wrong places(fornits) heard you thought pretty highly of yourself. well why dont you think enough of yourself to get your facts straight. you have been painted the wrong picture by Joyce harris. Thats pretty sad. besides that, what makes you authority on truth when you were only here for 6 weeks and most of the kids spend over a year. you dont sound very happy girl. "

Wow.  You need to get your facts straight.  First of all, why would I be mad that it took me so long to graduate, when I graduated on time, no thanks to Whitmore, but nevertheless, right on schedule.  Second of all, no, I am not ugly, I know this, and so does anyone who knows me, so if you were saying this to hurt me, all you did was make me laugh.  Furthermore, what are you talking about, 100 kids graduated, with what, a fake diploma?  1/16th didn't do so well??  Please, just another VALIDATION, as you put it so eloquently, of the fact that Whitmore teaches students nothing.  All of the kids that post, aside from Tori, have horrible grammar, punctuation, spelling, or maybe it is just Cheryl.  And, where do these kids, who have 'graduated' and received transcripts from Whitmore attend college?  I am pretty sure that colleges require accredited high schools, and not just some joke of a facility printing off a piece of paper that says it is a transcript?  Why is it that people posting are never going to college?  They either stay at whitmore their whole life, or retain a GED to be accepted anywhere.  Lucky for me, I graduated from a REAL high school, ON TIME.  I didn't have to worry about those things when I applied for college.  I was not painted any picture by anyone, but myself.  I was there longer than 6 weeks, and everything that I have said here is the truth.  Why don't you ask Cheryl why I would be bitter toward her, and the whitmore.  Why don't you ask her if she has told your parents any lies?  And why, might you ask, would she do this?  Here is your answer: to manipulate you, your parents, and anyone and everyone involved in the Whitmore.  Here is a question for you.  Why do you think Cheryl doesn't come here and respond to all of these allegations?  Why would she, as I am sure she does, go around bitching to the students about it, and put them up to responding to the allegations.  Why do you choose to post anonymously, when you freely reveal others' names?  

Lastly, who are you to judge whether I am happy or not?  Everything that I have stated has contradicted what you said.  Please, respond, it amuses me, as well as the fact that is will make you look like less of a coward.

UNKNOWN3....  You say that you are christian and the Mormon religion is not forced upon your child?  I am Catholic; when I first got there, I was told that I didn't need to go to churc with the mormoms, and that they would find me a Catholic church if need be.  I was all for it.  Once Sunday rolled around, there was no Catholic Church lined up for me to go to, and Cheryl guilted me into going to their Mormon church with them.  So I did, just this once, she said.  Yeah, right.  EVERY sunday after that, I was made to go to their church with them, 'the only true church,' is what they call it, which is the biggest load of shit.  You know that they believe black people are derived from Caan, who was cursed with a black mark on his forhead for killing his brohter Able.  So you can see why Chryl would be racist.  As for Jews, they believe they deserved what was ahnded to them at the Hollicaust, for what they did to Jesus.  I mean, I don't agree with what the Jews believe in, but I wouldn't discriminate against them for it.  Anyways, after a few weeks, I was 'asked' to please go to the, I don't know, two hour or so, Sunday school.  I quote 'asked', b/c it is like if I didn't go, there would be consequences for me to endure.  We had the missionaries over frequently, to talk to us about converting to the mormon religion.  

So if you still think that religion is not forced onto your child, think again.

I can't belive how brainwashed Tori is acting.  I do not personally know her, but I know her kind.  I might be that way, if I was still at Whitmore.  Two days after I got there, Cheryl and Mark approached me about being a sort of 'peer mentor'.  They said that I was way advanced, and I was made to tutor younger kids in math, among other studies.  I, myself, signed up for class online through BYU.  Cheryl and Mark had nothing to do with that.  My mom threw a huge fit abuot me not getting any eduaction whatsoever while I had been there for two months or so.  I signed up for an English class through BYU, on my parents dime, I am sure, and I could work on it whenever I wanted.  The only peopel pushing me to work on it were my parents.  

About suicidal kids, Tori; when I was there, we had a suicidal boy who cut himself.  We, needless to say, had a huge group about it, where one boy slapped this kid (that had cut himself), hard.  Cheryl basically laughed at his 'suicide attempt,' as it had been done with a piece of aluminum.  No one watched him, or paid him anymore attention than normal.  What do you have to say about that?

Another question:  why do you feel the need to justify what the Sudweeks are doing through this forum?  Nearly everyone here has negative views, based on personal experience at Whitmore, who are you to try and change those views?  Don't you think if Cheryl cared so much, or thought these views were so wrong, SHE would do something about it?

I was just wondering if anyone heard about Cheryl near death experience in the plane crash?  Not sure if it was true, sounded pretty unfathomable to me.

The top of the stairs on the third floor or second?
