Troubled Teens
The troubled teen epidemic has many parents,
school teachers, and school administrators at their wits end. Many
teens of today are blatantly disobedient to anyone with authority,
especially their parents. We receive calls on a regular basis from
parents that have lost control of their child. It may be hard for
some to believe but there are parents that are literally afraid of
their children. One parent recently called saying she had to sleep
with her bedroom door locked out of fear of her teen. Parents are
for the most part without help in their local areas. The internet
has made it easier for people to find help for this catastrophe that
is sweeping our great country. The opinions on why the youth of
today are acting the ways they are vary greatly. Some believe that
it is due to the lack of religion in schools and families. Others
feel that the teens are acting out of despair. The list goes on and
on. About the only thing that everyone can agree on is that there
is definitely a problem. This site will help you to understand
what some of the symptoms and problems of the troubled teen are.
Our organization is able to direct and help you find a program that
will help your child.
Teen Help
The Internet is loaded with various types of placement options for
troubled youth. Care should be taken to assure that the site you
are visiting really offers what they picture. Many sites advertise
and show pictures of Boot Camps and Military Schools when in reality
they have a structured boarding school. It seems that if a site is
going to depict and include "boot camp" in their domain name they
should indeed offer a boot camp. It would appear that many sites
are receiving calls from parents seeking a boot camp and switching
them to a boarding school type program. We offer boarding schools,
residential treatment centers, wilderness type programs, and yes
real boot camps and military schools for defiant teens.

marijuana than nonsmokers.
The survey, conducted by researchers at the American Legacy Foundation
and the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse (CASA) at
Columbia University, looked at nearly 2,000 teens ages 12 to 17.

Help For Parents
The problems that face parents today are unique from the problems
their parents faced. Parents that are now grandparents simply
spanked, grounded or made their child do extra chores if their
children were disobedient. It is well known today that this type
of correction could land a parent in jail. The youth of today
realize the power they hold, and have no reservation using it
against their parents. The Child Protective Service threat is very
real and very effective. There are parents that have been reported
for no real reason and have had to pay fines and face restriction
from the rest of their family. While we do not have an answer for
this problem, many families have found the only way to remove this
threat is to place their child outside of the home. For children
that think they are being abused, the reality of a boot camp will
make them appreciate their home and the so called abuse they feel
they have been subjected to.
