Girls in Therapeutic Boarding Schools and Trouble

This is an essay from one of the struggling students of Zion Educational Systems, a Christian Boarding School for troubled teens × Troubled Teens
Troubled Teens /trou.bled/ /teens/ n. Noun A troubled teen is defined as a person that is between the age 13-19 that is beset by problems or conflict. Every Teenager faces problems that they must encounter in their life.  Problems arise in every person’s life both big and small yet sometimes we allow even the most insignificant of problems affect our lives.  Sometimes with teenagers they allow trials in their life greatly affect them in negative ways.  Typically when a person (typically teenagers) face problems in their lives, the ability to cope with the problem does not exist.  When teenagers turn to other things to cope with the feelings of the problems that they usually face  things such as drugs and alcohol, pornography, criminal activity, etc. It is important to find help for troubled teens as soon as possible.  There are many different programs that are available to help troubled teens with the problems that they face each with a different approach and nature to the program.
. We are dedicated to helping troubled boys × Troubled boys
Troubled boys are adolescent males who show little or no respect towards authority, are involved with negative peer groups, display unhealthy behavior and are incapable of handling situational problems in a healthy, mature manner. Teenage boys who are deemed, 'troubled,' tend to struggle with issues such as, failing grades, drug/alcohol addiction, mood swings, negative relationships and friendships, and openly show disdain for any type of authority figure. Troubled boys who struggle and are considered troubled are at high risk of experiencing dire, negative consequences. If negative behaviors of troubled teen boys are left unchecked, the individual teen's behavior will more than likely progress and continue on well into adulthood. It is imperative for parents of troubled boys to seek help immediately in correcting their child's behavioral patterns. Fortunately for parents of troubled boys, there is a myriad of solutions, in terms of treatment, for them to choose from. Troubled teen behavioral solutions such as, boarding schools, group homes, and residential therapy programs for troubled teens, are all viable and popular choices among parents of trouble boys.

I feel as though the reason why the girls community is on staff run is partially my fault. Clara and myself are very close in a way and when she and Ben were getting close I didn’t say anything at first because I didn’t want to be involved in petty drama. Soon things started getting a bit more serious between Clara and Ben. I started giving Clara warnings and telling her that if her behavior continued the whole Academy would be put on Staff Run. Clara didn’t listen to me and insisted on talking to Ben and in a sense was infatuated with him. Then things started getting worse involving band because some girls in the community started passing notes (verbally) to the female band members, so that they could tell the boys. When those events started happening, I finally realized that I had to say something to staff. I allowed things to progress and over time it grew into bigger. But I know that if I would’ve said something in the beginning we all wouldn’t be in the predicament that we are currently in. My main problem or thing I struggle with the most is telling things to staff, because I’m the type of person that doesn’t want to get involved with drama and I try to stay away from it. But from now on if I know of something major I will say something to staff. I think this also something that’ll make me become more real. I’m not saying that I’m not real already but by applying that it’ll help me become a better person and leader.
