I saw an article about Paris Hilton’s advocacy for legislation to be passed that would regulate the “Troubled Teen Industry,” and that there was a documentary about her in which she talked about her experience and abuse at a troubled teen facility in Utah.
Crater lake was a joke I was there in 98 it destroyed many lives. We as children were so naive sometimes things that were wrong were over looked and we think well it’s not that bad. I have much guilt for not following through with charges in 98 and trying to shut that place down . Everything was just swept under the carpet. I apologize to anyone who went after August 98 because had I been stronger and wiser maybe they wouldn’t have suffered. Things will continue to come up the more we relive things when we see others and the trauma.
I want to ask you questions! Like who was the headmaster when you were there. And what awful shit they did to you. I honestly didn’t experience anything truly awful, although I did witness awful things being done to others— and I frequently wonder if I’m justifying or choosing to forget shit.
You could not have done anything and it is not your fault. It is a massive industry that exists because of greed and because our society doesn’t care about mental health.
This is great. Interestingly enough, my friend Kyle also went to therapeutic boarding school, and he was not able to process or fully really grasp how angry he still was until he saw the Paris Hilton thing.
There’s a podcast called TrueAnon and there’s a four part series, called the game where one of the hosts talks about the troubled teen industry, and the cult that started therapeutic porting schools, syn anon, it’s very thought provoking. I recommend it.
Sorry you had to go through all that Juliet. But I did read to the bottom of the page and that's saying something. So you actually did get something out of a terrible life experience. And something to write home about. Home being where your heart is. Keep on.

Paris Hilton, out here doing the lord’s work! Who would have thought.
I saw that podcast and meant to listen to it and never did. I will listen to it now!
Thank you for writing this. I am recently starting to explore my time at Crater Lake and have found a wealth of emotion and knowledge in this.
I LOved Juliet the Manic so much, and this was a great PS. Society accepting mental illness now, but ONLY a certain polite quirky kind omg!
