who were you in high school?

I got kicked out of 8th grade, and got sent to rehabs/bootcamps/schools for trouble teens until I was almost 18. I guess I'd call myself a fck up lol.

Did it help? Did you learn anything? Where do you see yourself now if you had not been sent to boot-camp?

BTW if you are in Phuket, I hate you right now. lol J/K, only because I'm NOT there right now.

Honestly man... I think it absolutely helped me. Probably kept me out jail at least. Everybody's been through their fair of shit, right? I think that people learn things at different stages in life. Example... My brother went into the military at a young age. He learned discipline and being responsible early. However... I think from going to war and being in the enviornment he's been in, he cut himself off emotionally. Being a dad the past 3/4 years, he's learning to be more emotional/express himself better, and not bottle shit up. I've had the opposite experience. From all the therapy/priests/social workers/counselors I've had to talk to from an early age, I've learned to express myself pretty well. I think I'm pretty honest about everything, and I have good grasp on who I am as a person. I think its taught me knowledge of self and I'm able to talk/relate/feel compassion for people ect. Now...I'm working on the being responsible/discipline part lol. Alot of parents ask me for advice on whether they should send their kid to a school like that. I don't know the right answer. I see Pros and cons to everything. If it was my kid though... I'd take a different approach. Out of control teens lol... they're almost impossible to work with. I'm considering getting sterilized asap... if I'm even producing any sperm anymore lol.

Yeah man. I thought I was headed back to NY in april... but every day I think more and more how crazy that would be lol. I got it good right now. Away from the craziness of Patong, but only a short tuk tuk ride away
