half the kids in the inpatient ward are there because they legitimately have mental problems such as depression, substance abuse issues, or anger management problems. i think the other half are there because their parents have psych issues. they are so messed up themselves and don’t know how to parent that they call the cops when they think their kid is acting up when really, they are the ones that need to be checked into a psych facility. its really sad.
some kids here hate it [most hate it] but some like it. those that like it have a very rough life at home either with their families or at board&care facilities/ foster care homes. makes one really value life and see how lucky we are. the kids that like it know how to 'act up' to make sure their stay is extended. another sad way to watch valuable resources be wasted.
