An open discussion about the troubled parent industry

I just talked tp jack yesterday...he's at a school in colorado...I forgot the name of it...google him and you'll find  it - he was cool to talk to...not like a lot of the old staff that still try to talk to you like an inmate

You know what's worst than being bitter about not graduating and pissing and moaning about whatever?...and what I'm about to say is so true...It's leaving the school and having the misconception that the world that Cedu and the time spent "in the system" is what can truly guide you through life as is.
I, like many of the folks that I know graduated, left the school with a sense of completion and a cloud of euphoria. We went home and tried to be friends with everybody and tried to coach "friends" through hard times and expect to use the tools to make a difference.(Well some folks fell off the wagon and got back in their old routine) But shit...that only works until the real world comes crashing down on you! I was 15 when I graduated and I was so damn lost and the last thing that people look for in "the outside world" from then until at least the late teens is someone trying to preach to them the way we were preached to and even preached to each other.
"Summit Gives" i don't know when you graduated because it sounds like you just did...if not than you must live a quiet or strict religous life because alot of the day to day fundamentals are null and void once you drive away and mesh back into real life.
The biggest gift of CEDU is the gift of PSYCHOLOGY! If used right, the art of manipulation, candy coating: saying the right thing at the right time to soothe unfortunate possibilities, and expressing yourself through writing can take you a long way (hell I'm a marketing management major and I use those ploys in my research).
You can't run your anger with a group of friends, if you're a guy you can't "smoosh" with them, and finally I dare you to throw on some good ol' Cedu jams like - Tell It all or I am a rock or He Ain't heavy - with some friends around and there will not be a single tear shed or a friendly hug (unless you guys are hippies)

Yeah you may have made some good friends...how many do you talk to? Yeah you probably have less baggage now or maybe more BUT YOU CAN'T PREACH TO PEOPLE ABOUT KEEPING SOMETHING SACRED THAT MOST OF THE STAFF AND MAYBE EVEN MEL HIMSELF DID NOT!
Have your memories, and your scrapbook, and whatever other momento you may have in your shrine but you need to wake up and realize the reality of CEDU was not loving and caring for all of us...for many, it was a bastian of abuse, confusion, and pain; even for some of us that went through everything from Truth to Summit. So please...quite being blind!

just wondering who you are and when you were there?

Tina...I can tell from the lack of response of e-mail you don't remember me...ahhh it seems like yesterday i was getting yelled at for breaking the sex agreement with you...and it never happened...or the day they tried to bring me up for raps the day before my graduation ahhh...I don't care what anyone says about you...i thought you were cool...and to think they shut that bastian of wonder down...it's crazy!

remember me? a good frind from BCA...ahhh maybe not

Damn...so i found this by total accident and just when I thought the memories of propheets, bans, full-times, and smooshing had all been tucked away... i find this damn thing...after reading some of this though I find myself concerned that so many parents and whoever paid 60,000 a year for a school that seemingly made people worse. being one of the few that had been to all the CEDU schools except RMA and NWA and an alum of Ascent twice man that was a long time ago...so the schools closed down what happened?
