I knew a lot of people who went to one of the better Ivy Leaguye schools and honestly they were really unprepared for the real world. It was like the schools have so much support that they coddle these kids and help them at every step, so when they get into the real world they can't function without a strong support system. As I'm typing this I feel like I understand the plan. Isn't this the DENNIS System, nurturing dependence?
That was what landed me on the streets. I grew up with wealthy, not really helicopter parents, but they sent me to psych wards, threw me in supportive classes, got me signed up with aba therapy. At the end of it all I was so dependent on my support system I didn't have a single independent thought in my body.
Just leaving, and going hitchhiking is the best decision I ever fucking made.
