The younger brother of a friend got sent to military school. From Catholic schools to military schools...the mom preferred her oldest and youngest. That held true all through his life. I was threatened with an all girls school but I don't think I would have really been sent there as I had never been in trouble with the law and was a decent student. My mom preferred my younger sister and brother and wanted to get rid of me. I'd probably have been safer than I was at home.

I don't think there's such a thing as too old for the Muppets.

Little Red Riding Hood is a tale of a girl who visits grandma in the woods and gets eaten by a wolf, but who the fuck lets (ill) grandma live alone in the woods in the first place?
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Like the Eskimos sent their elderly away on floating glaciers, medieval Europe sent them into the deep dark woods.

As someone who's read and seen quite a bit about the Troubled Teen Industry, all I can say is you're lucky that you were likely too old for them. At least the Military Schools are actually teaching shit. At least they're regulated. At least their rules aren't designed to give the people in charge any excuse to punish them. And, from my understanding, kids sent to military schools don't get there by being kidnapped in the middle of the fucking night. [Trigger Warning: Every Fucking Possible Trigger if you look deep enough into it] For a bit more information to start off with, watch Nexpo's video "The Cult in a Boarding School," The Right Opinion's "The Dangers of Dr. Phil". Maybe chase that with Joe vs. Elan School. (At least that one's earning a happy ending.) Elan in particular seems like the sort of school that, if I were to choose between it and Dachau, I'd be fucking pleading to be gassed. Not to trivialise the horrors of Nazi Germany, but if I have to choose between a group that wants me dead, and one that cares just enough about my well-being to not kill me and not one tittle more, I know what I'd pick.

Also, to distract from the heavy shit, it turns out water is absolutely metal now. And that pun was actually intentional.

I didn't take it seriously, having never heard of it before and having no clear idea what all was entailed. Thinking back, I believe military school would have been preferable to remaining in the hell where my father ran the place like Satan himself (overexaggeration, but I'm also gay).

Yeah, especially (for me) Bert and Ernie... they were awesome... and apparently the quintessential gay couple I was later told
