Never send your children to boarding school.

If they're intelligent, or get down, or like their own company, or all three, never send them to boarding school.

You can't escape. From anything that's happening. You're forced to do things you don't agree with, be with people you don't like, and follow horrible examples.
They teach you how to be the same person as everyone else, but don't accept it if you can't, so keep forcing you to be like them, follow them, be with them, look after them.
Though they don't look after you.

If you're not in boarding school, and something at school or work is annoying you, at least you can escape to your home.
Boarding school makes you live with the problem, always taunting you, never leaving you alone, makes the problem worse.
Boarding school rips you of your home, confusing you. Making your home the journey between A and B, because neither can be your home.

You lose yourself. Hate what you are, or what you've become, and know that it's irreversible. You can never go back, never forget and ultimately never move on.
You're left bitter and dissapointed in life.

When you have people around you all the time, but none ask why you're crying. If one does break the pattern then when you say, no reason, or tired, or something obviously untrue, they never ask you what's really wrong. They just believe you, because it makes their life easier.

The only people in boarding school that won't leave you alone when you're upset are the teachers. The people who are paid to care, and they talk about you behind your back. They lie to get things out of you, they manipulate and assume. They're flattered you told them and no one else. You can't tell anyone else, and then they hit you when you're at your weakest and put words in your mouth.

You can't be with the people who care about you the most, your family. You can't be with the people that can help you. You can't have best friends. You can't have anyone.
You just want to stay at home forever, but you know you can't.

You've been taught by the school that they are right, and that this is the best place for you. They guilt trip you saying how much your parents care about you to send you there. So you feel bad if you don't like it there, meaning you don't want to tell your parents, you don't want to dissapoint them, so you live a horrible, upset, unprogressive life.

Just want to escape.
Just want to be happy. Or at least happier than I am now.

Never send your children to boarding school.
