They were very qualified and knowledgeable. I love that I can count on them to work with me until they find a solution for my situation. I will absolutely return to visit and will recommend to friends. I had an amazing experience, even though I did not want to be there at first. They were very polite and helpful and made sure that I had everything I needed. They're really great about taking their time with me, and they don't mind answering my questions. It didn't work for all of the kids in my group because some of them didn't want the help, but most of us are doing good and I have made some lifetime friends.

First of all, I used to be a resident at Liahona Academy. I stayed until I

graduated. Liahona Academy is a terrible place.

The therapy side is really twisted. They even tell you how they are breaking

you down. First, taking your identity. Any personal items are gone, and your

head is shaved. Now you have the same shirts and shorts as everybody. Then

you sleep in the common room with the lights on your first night. Your first

group is when they welcome your to the Liahona zoo. They trick you into

thinking they are taking you to a local zoo, but then end up making you act

like an animal until they can get a good laugh. I remember when they made an

obese kid act like a walrus, and they dragged it on. Some amusement at the

expense of a teen who just went through getting kidnapped, had to strip in

his underwear in front of a staff to check for weapons, had his hair shaved

off, and now 40 of your peers are laughing at you, because they did it too,

and they got laughed at too. Brutal tearing down of your personality.

Repression of expression. Lack of a change in incoming stimuli from your

environment puts your brain into a susceptable place to be manipulated.

Behavior modification, your probably thinking this is just a little therapy

and making you follow rules. The form of discipline they use are essays. The

worse the rule you break the more words your essay has to have. they go from

300 to 3500. If you get 1200 or more words of essays in a week then you get

on there worst discipline which is called work crew. And its called crew

because there's rarley just one or no people on it. Its a crew of the twice-

removed society "troublemakers or rulebreakers" Your on an entirely new

program on work crew. When your on work crew you sit and stare at a wall all

day unless you are outside running an indefinite amount of laps. Until they

feel like saying stop.

It was impossible to cry for help there, we were brainwashed and they decided

whether to send your weekly letter or not. We had raw chicken for dinner on

Halloween of 2008. A year where time goes so slow and hell never ceases, will

draw out depression for the rest of my life. Please do not send your child

there.
