Some these mothers need grows some kind of backbone.

Shannel (5/10/2012 12:35:02 PM)

These kids aren't bad..no offense.

I blame the mothers not the kids. If the mother actually knew what she was doing, they wouldnt be in this situation to begin with. These kids need love, respect and support. Not boot camp.

Which place do you think is worse??? You have to take into account that the boy in the wilderness only has to stay 6 weeks.... but still in the wilderness. The other boy has to stay a year but if he behaves he can get a ps2. But, also the ppl in the wilderness seem nicer... and more therapeutic.

I went to the Academy at Ivy ridge, which was a behavior modification program. I was angry just like the boy that lost his dad. Some of these kids do not need discipline they need: love, support, and therapy. just like I went to the psych ward when i was younger and they tried to shove pills down my throat instead of talking to me and counseling. they kept saying i had an anger problem. i had an anger problem because my family wouldnt allow me to express how i felt ever.

whoever uploads these videos for mtv is an idiot. MTV, ur videos are consistently uploaded late or when they do go up they don't work. Fire the person in charge of this! geez

It says right in the description that the episode will return August 7th. MTV always does that.

Great Video, Great Program, but it is not for all. Most teens involved soon get the picture, in the time they have to reflect, that like the intro for this video states, it is the teens choice of actions and how they choose to behave that had them end up at Anasazi. This program cannot "fix" anyone, but it does enable teens to see that their actions were the problem and help the teens fix themselves. The program is not for everyone. It ends up being a waste of money for those individuals who won't accept responsibility for their actions. I remember hearing about one tall, blonde girl who ended up there after totaling the family van she stole and then who refused court ordered counseling. Heard she was blaming her parents for her problems the day she left, just as much as she did when she came in. At least the parents tried to do what was right and it probably wasn't cheap. Three cheers for Anasazi founder and all those who walk with him helping teens find their way back on the right path. As far as fears of hash treatment and abuse? Some parents may resort to that, but it is not effective and Anasazi abhors it and does not use such practices. Fear NOT!

I felt sooo terrible watching Kyle go through that whole experience. It didn't help him.

RE: The "I'm Being Sent Away By My Parents" episode....parents be VERY ware!!! These places are NOT what they purport to be!! Your child will be subjected to some of the most vile, indescribable "treatment" that you can't even begin to imagine. If you're scared, I understand...I have two now grown girls and they scared me to death at times, but do NOT. EVER......EVER place them in one of these "re-education" "positive peer pressure" places! They are NOT the nice places that the brochures and scheduled visits would have you believe. Please, take it from someone who's been there and now a grown woman with two grown children. Do NOT send them away!

Dear Viewers and Readers, I am thirty years old and I have studied and worked in many diverse places around the world, but I have never encountered an educational or therapeutic organization as loving and authentically transformative as ANASAZI Foundation in Mesa, Arizona. Since I joined the field team in January, I have seen so many young men and women come in with worry and tension and anger on their face--fighting the program and the world--only to leave six weeks later as powerful young people with glowing faces, who have found their heart and at way to live their lives with happiness. It still feels like magic, but I think there is a recipe behind it all that is both simple and very hard to copy. The ANASAZI magic is a finely blended combination of (1) the calming influence and instruction of Nature and the Creator, (2) loving focus on a Young Walker's natural strengths and positive qualities, and (3) an unshakable, empirically corroborated faith permeating the whole organization that as long as we keep the young people in our care safe and loved, then the everyday challenges of living and moving together in the desert will give everyone exactly the journey they need to find their own way to joy and success in the world outside. No contrived "life lessons" or exercises can teach or shape us as compellingly as nature and her laws of cause and effect can. When I think of what ANASAZI has done for me and my relationship with my family in my short time here, I feel tears of gratitude for the founders and all of those selfless individuals who have sacrificed time and money to keep ANASAZI pure of heart and true to its original mission to serve instead of to profit. I am usually skeptical of gushy praise or uncritical support. In this case, however, I know no other way to represent my people in a way that keeps it real. Thank you ANASAZI. ~I am Walks With The Light, and I have spoken.

A lot of people grow up with divorced parents (I'm one of them) and that doesn't mean that they act out like Kyle does. Kyle needs psychiatric help or something, because he knows what he's doing is wrong, yet he continues to do it.

Spencer is sooo sweet
