Wow Danny...wtfI don't understand your reaction bossy I'm not saying I liked Elan or condoned anything they did. What they did was awful and abusive. I 'm saying we all had are ways of dealing with the abuse at Elan I had a opportunity to get out of the house and I took it. Same thing at home left at a young age the abuse was awful and Juvie same thing. As a matter of fact I went from juvie to Elan they let my parents take me. So no, don't misunderstand what I'm saying please but alot of us had more shit going on then just Elan back when we were children. I had to worry about not going back home so I had to wait it out until I turned 18 so I did not have to. Like I said I played the cards I was dealt. One other thing that sucked is why the hell should I have even had to tap dance that much as a kid to stay away from violent situations. So it is not only Elan on my mind at times it is the parents who are fucked up then make a even more fucked decision by sending you to these rat holes. Then institutions who abuse young people juvie, mental hospitals ect... So it is sad when I say Elan was better then all the choices I had at 16 yrs old, just be grateful you weren't in my shoes. All my decisions sucked but I was looking to survive and Elan seemed the most viable option. I don't know what would have happened if the violence of Elan would have come my way. I probably would have killed someone or myself because I had all I could take at that time.
