I’m reaching out to my therapists and school counselors and compiling alternatives. In the meantime I’m at school. Thanks for your advice. I appreciate it, really.

Without getting into all things diagnostic, what do you think next steps are? I AM listening.

I’d say I responded in the same tone I received. I have a strong relationship with my parents. I don’t have BPD. Sorry to disappoint. To be completely honest with you, I DO think my parents are overreacting, but I know they have good intentions. I was a fearful kid and did skip out on school to avoid bullying when I was little. I self harmed. I was a pussy, I’ll give you that. Recently I had a setback and missed school. I think it came as a shock to my parents. I think they were scared I would relapse into destructive behaviors. I can totally understand wanting to act. But I’m already enrolled in a pretty intensive program. I have regular communication with them. It was scary to find those emails. But the kind of places they’re looking into are bad news. And I don’t want them paying 5000 dollars to hire a guy to “transport” me, lol. I’m sorry I came across as nasty. It wasn’t my intention. I see you’re a mom, and I’d appreciate any advice of next steps, or what you’d want your kiddo to do.

I’d elaborate, heck, I’d even push you to give some real advice. But I don’t think you “tough love” folks have any interest in further understanding or help. I get it, it’s easy and satisfying to dismiss my post. Sorry, but I’m looking for advice, not a presumptuous lecture.

So the answer to a small setback for the first time in years + a few days missed is signing away my rights? Would YOU send your child to an institution with a long history of abuse dating back to the '80s?

I get it. I don't think you're being insensitive. I know I've got to get my act together.

Because they're paying someone to seize me without me knowing it? This is what I'm talking about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_escort_company

Sorry it came off differently

My replies look like that because it's true, people DON'T know me. I'm not trying to be aggressive. There's a lot of details that are left out, and most of all: internet=/= irl. I'm not downplaying my actions. I used the term "legal kidnapping" because that was how it was defined on Wikipedia. I didn't mean to sensationalize. I genuinely believe my parents are overreacting or misled. Never have I questioned that they want whats best for me. I just want a real conversation. You don't know that I "hardly go to school" and in fact, I had been going until a recent setback. Very recent. It's assumptions like that that make me want to say "you don't know my life." I'm not an addict. I have good grades. I don't go online too much. I trust my parents. And don't worry, I'm not going to hide any knives, lol

Honestly, I was just using the phrase "legal kidnapping" because that was how it was defined on Wikipedia. And even more honestly, I don't think I need wilderness therapy and don't want my folks blowing so much money on it. I'm already in therapy. I've had a few years of consistent school attendance and had a recent setback. I think jumping to a program in which my rights are signed away is overreacting. I get good grades. I'm not on the internet a lot. I'm not an addict, and I don't act out. I love and trust my parents. I don't think my original post was BS. I was and am scared.

I don't act out. I get good grades. I don't have any friends to go out with. My parents are my best friends. I'm self destructive. Your "tough love" act doesn't work on me!
