Amen Andy! The other phenomenon that has come onto the scene are the people using counseling and psychology in a manner that manipulates and affirms the mental illness. That should be a crime, it is a terrible abuse of power in a role that is supposed to help people.

Also, schools (and probably other organizations) have allowed or created an environment that is toxic, abusive, and learning is not taking place so it adds to low moral, low self esteem, and low self worth which compounds that fact that it is already hard to be a kid.

There are so many positive things to be done to help people overcome this great trial. Let’s keep writing and speaking about it, and let’s also figure out a way to provide all these things people need. We can help them and we must!

I read this article by Mr. Caldwell which should be "Does Living in Santa Barbara and

dealing with the local so-called-leaders drive You Nuts"

I suggest a four-part-mental health program for this crazy nut place.

1. Run and move far far away (Like Forest Gump) or

2. Take long and refreshing walks along the beach with your dog

3. If you do not have a dog get one because he will always be your best friend

4. Never ... Ever ..... attend local agency meetings it is bad for your mental health
