Elan School / The worst Christmas ever
« on: December 14, 2004, 06:34:00 PM »
oh my god, if anyone knows how to get in touch with that kid let me know...i miss him! as for the xmas thing.....god pete, you remember soooooooo much, I only wish I had half that memory. Christmas in Elan definately sucked, but you know what, I put myself there and those types of xmas' make today's with my husband and three kids that much more special.

I know exactly what you mean, and I am so glad it could be put to words. You are right, you learn so much about so many and then it just gets dismissed when you or they walk out those doors. I remember Ellie....how is she anyway?

No I didn't hear about any of that. Thats crazy, but I guess kinda cool. I think they still need some of that to hold people accountable, but if they found a more productive way....yipeeee

if this is truely for the parents, I have to put in my piece. I have a completely different feeling for Elan. I was there for 3 years and thenks to the perserverance of the staff, the positive peer pressure and the effective dichotomy, I am now out, happy, and a productive member of society. I would however make one suggestion. If you are serious about getting your child in, please have them evaluated by a psychologist outside of Elan. While Elan, in my day, helped many people, they fail to recognize who really does and who really doesnt belong there. Consequently, Elan in the past 30+ years has turned out quite a few scarred people because of their contraversial way of hasndling issues. I was there because I had anger issues and was in severe need of behavior mod. If your child(ren) sound anything like this, Elan could work for them, but I would still have them evaluated first.

it took me 2 yeears of acting up before I started to climb the dichotomy. Once I realized nobody was going to kick me out, I started to work on my issues. And no I wasnt an ax murderer....just someone with a lot of anger issues due to my past, and behavior problems due to not knowing how to cope with my anger.....thanks for asking though, even if it was a bit sarcastically

I never in anyway try to discredit others pain or experiences. I truly believe that everyones stay there was different. And I also believe that while my stay there was in no way easy, there was another era of Elan students who had it much harder. And I truly am sorry for what you encountered. I also believe that there are people who simply did not belong there, and therefore those ones may end up more scarred after leaving. I do hold Elan responsible for not recognizing who did and who did not belong there. In MY case.....I belonged there! I needed some structure and strong behavior modification. If anyone out there thinks I discredit their stay at all....I apologize. I would never consciously do that. My point of posting was to let others out there know there was some good to the Elan that I know. And as I have said before, I have a hard time listening to the slander of staff that helped save my life. My apologies if I offended anyone.
Coz- who are you? Maybe Ive heard of your name....Did you ever hear of me while you were there?
