I will say though I was kind of an alpha male over there, despite being a fifteen year-old kid stuck with adults. But then again, I might've been one of the few people there who were admitted both illegally and for no good reason.
Yeah, boredom is a constant problem. I'm lucky they let me keep my smartphone, though I have to have the nurse keep the charger cable (along with belts, shoelaces, etc). No, I'm not suicidal, but they don't take chances.
I remember being a kid (barely 18) amongst adults back in 85. That was weird.
