The worst thing about being in a program is that you loose all your freedom. And think about it for a moment, freedom gets you everywhere in life. Without freedom how are you going to get a car or buy a house? You just can't do it without freedom. Freedom it's self is what gets people so far in life. With freedom that person went to collage, that person started a business, that persons a millionaire. So as soon as that person realizes that with freedom we can do anything in life, he will go nowhere.
Do. When you get yourself in a program you want to do what the staff wants even if you don't like it. When you do what the staff likes, the staff will tell the director that this person knows how to listen and that will spread from staff to staff, and when you level up you will have grip of people that will support you. Although it may sound like people pleasing it will help you get out of that program if done right. That means you're all nice but as soon as that staff leaves you're a brat to everyone else.
Don't. Don't be defiant. Since when has defiance got anyone anywhere. Never. All defiance gets you is another 6 months in that program. That means your parents have to pay more and they wont like that. So I suggest you start thinking and get yourself out of that program and I mean graduate from the program not wait for you caseworker to come take you out like mine did cause that never happens.

I agree totally because I was in my group home I didn't like to do what they said at all I was very defiant and got over two hundred flags. (which were like infractions.) When you get a flag you have to work on the weekends while everybody else sits inside the cold house and watches a movie and eats treats. Unlike some kids I graduated after eleven months of the group home I decided that was enough and got my act together.
I think that the first do is really good. Because I have learned to not get mad and accept what the staff want me to do even if I don't like it.
I really like how you started this entry. Because you really can't do much without freedom. The part about defiance is true, that is good advice it's something you will learn if you are defiant.
I can relate the this because I am in a program and have been now for 9 months. I am finally leaving next Friday and it sure as hell isn't because I have been bad. I am doing what I need to and trying to do the best for my life so I can be successful. And it feels great.
It took me a long time to finally realize that I needed to swallow my pride and just accept the fact that, if I wanted a better life of freedom for myself. Now, I'm moving home to my dads house in roughly 2-3 months. 4 at the most.
Agreed! Freedom is a choice. You have to choose opportunities and people that will liberate not bind. That is the great secret in life. To many choose opportunities and people that bind them.
