[QUOTE="Lil, post: 655684, member: 17309"] Took me a minute to realize that what that meant. LOL....A little explosion wouldn't be amiss in that case. But I don't think it's a school...I think it's a hive mind situation. Like the Borg. We just need to find the queen. Being me, I have now turned to worrying about other things...like what's going to happen when he gets there and hates it and either 1) quits or 2) gets kicked out. I try to be hopeful...but I can't say I really am this time. Maybe it's just too soon. Maybe its that he quits every thing. Maybe it's that I just know him...he hates curfews and restrictions and rules and basically they are the army without the hikes and guns. Only the army punishes you if you do something wrong and Job Corps just kicks you out. I'm worried because he'll be in with a bunch of inner-city kids like he's never known before. I'm worried because he probably isn't really ready for change...He thinks changes happen to you. He doesn't "get" that changes happen inside you. Then again, he managed to live at the shelter for a few months. It can't be worse than that. Maybe, unlike college where there were a bunch of kids blowing off classes and living on loans or their parents, this is a place where you go when you are serious about trying to better yourself? Maybe the other students will be serious, and that will rub off? And I suppose, realistically, if he gets kicked out there he'll be in no worse position than he's in now. I'm just not optimistic.
