The Troubled Teen Industry / Re: What about

Okay...the bottom line is that we all have different opinions and we should all be respectful of each others' opinions and try to understand other people's opinions. There's no need to get angry or attack others.
I love Carlbrook sometimes and I hate it at others. Like Aidan said, it varies with mood. It's not black and white. What I'm trying to do on this board is to understand my experience a little better and talk to other people about their experiences. This board isn't about "bashing Carlbrook." I celebrate and appreciate a lot of what Carlbrook helped me do for myself; however, there are parts that caused me a lot of pain and confusion too. Anyone who claims to be 100% on one "side" of the argument is full of shit. To have conflicting views and to exist in shades of gray is what it means to be human. And the thing is, it's okay to be confused and conflicted. To 100% hate or 100% love Carlbrook doesn't make you any better than anyone else.
Can we just stop with all the bashing? I don't like bashing Carlbrook but I also don't like bashing people who bash Carlbrook. Even if you do think what happens here is "bitching," then that's just your opinion. And if "bitching" helps some people cope and heal, then who are you to judge or deny them that? Everyone has the right to their own process.
