i just had to comment about the ranch thing.

i was sent to an interview with a team of professionals at an all girls ranch in south texas. i did NOT want to be there and near the end of the interview i was pretty much screaming and crying and insulting the professionals because..well..i did not want to be there. they insulted me back in front of all my family members that were there. at that point i KNEW i didnt want to be there.

actually the only reason i didnt get in was mostly cause financial issues.

ive learned to quickly see the environment there by the attitudes of the staff. and i WAS NOT sent there for behavioral things. only my mental illness dx. but it catered to a mix of mentally ill and troubled youth. basically troubled as in behavior problems. which i NEVER had as a teen. i never go in trouble with the law or teachers or EVEN my parents.
