This Industry Ruined My Life
How do you get over it? I'm in my mid 20s and just tired of living and mine wasn't even that bad. I've had terrible experiences outside of the troubled teen industry: racial abuse, weird sexual stuff (not nearly as bad as what a lot of people on this sub have gone through, but still annoying), having guns pointed at me. None of which were the fault of my parents or ed consultants. So, I know what experiences people would consider traumatic feel to me. I swear on everything the troubled teen industry is worse. The troubled teen industry destroyed my mind, my ability to perform tasks, my anxiety levels, and ability to enjoy things, and I just want my mind back. Crazy thing is my TTI wasn't even bad. It was just really boring brainwashing for years on end. The TTI indirectly also caused me to be so angry and so mean for so long. I work, but that's all the strength I have to do. I can't bring myself to do much of anything else. I hate this industry and just want a simple, beautiful life where I'm happy so I can stick it to the people who hated me enough to do all this crap to me. I'm nowhere near perfect, but before and after the TTI my life goal was always to be a productive citizen. I've dealt with anger issues, but I've never been criminally violent. Such an evil industry.
As those of us who work hard gain more power over time, we have to remember to do the right things for the youth, because this is really, really sick when you think about it deeply. The ripple effects through society are crazy.
