I can't take it anylonger.

[Matthew Groskopf]

Hello, my name is [Edited to protect identity]
I'm 15.

There's this program called Camp Consequence.
Where this asshat Marine owns it, my parents threaten me everyday, "Sending" me there.

You get jumpsuit's and saltines. NO showers. 40 Days.
I can't take it anymore, I already have high school to deal with.
I worked so hard this summer and they are throwing it down the drain.
The program was originally designed for people who do drugs and hurt others or steal cars. Bad people.
Its a trial run through keeping the kids out of jail.
I only disobey when they think they know whats best for me or when its generally unfair.
I'm a smart 15 Year old, I can decide what is best for me. I just want to become a doctor.
My parents spoil everyone else except me. I don't even have a phone. Just a pet tortoise and a computer.
Yet my Five year old sibling has a frickin IPhone.

I really hate my life on this family and have thought about committing suicide. Just so I can end the pain, for once and for all.
My dad is extremely religious and when I don't go to church he threatens me with boot camp. Whether or not I've gone or not.
Our babysitter thinks she knows everything and likes to gossip about my family.
The 'camp' lies about what they require. Shower in a can, tooth brush, pillow, ect.
Personally I don't deserve this.

PLEASE, GOD BLESS, SAVE ME.

So, For example.

They're sending me to boot camp because they think it will make me better.
They think that taking away my computer because I get 'bad ideas' from it.
