How would this appeal to members of the forum?

also, a lot of the kids seem pretty well adjusted to me. ok, one girl hit her mum, but she's the one i hate in the show anyway.
one guy got sent because he wakes up at 1 pm. what the hell? oh no, he's 16 but didn't go and get a job after school. teh horror!

I think most people take drugs because they enjoy their effects. What is never really addressed is HOW, exactly, that's a bad thing. People drink alcohol because they enjoy its effects on them, and the state acknowledges that there isn't anything inherently wrong with this; why not apply the same logic to marajuana? It seems to me that parents who send their son to Reconditioning Camp are letting the state's concept of what is and isn't acceptable dictate their own moral view.

So lets assume it's not something like the kid was born as such as gay or bisexual or that it was an act of love (that is, dates an unaccepted race). WELL! The easiest persons to blame are ofcourse the parents! Because, they raise their kids up and create their moral standards from since they are born. Except if they decided to let Television and School do all the teaching. (immediate F on the parenting test) So their offspring should ofcourse, follow that standard that their parents give them. Anyway, I THINK that the reason that kids sink to prostitution, drugs and drinking from age eleven (know of cases, very scary) is because, the parents just stopped caring! Ofcourse they will try to blame someone else, because that would be admitting they failed, and saying that to their faces.... That's not good TV! That is not going to sell your book and most importantly, the parents are most propably the ones that try to look for an answer that points the finger at something else. Rock music, Dungeons and Dragons, interweb, raves, parties, friends are scum... Whatever floats their boat far enough to get off blame free.
A lot of people will disagree with me, and most propably will be, but that still won't change my opinion that when a parent stops giving a fuck about their kids, the kids suffer.

Yahtzee does have an elder brother, a hard rock drummer and livin' the lifestyle.
I just thought it was kinda sad that the kids in Brat Camp were so unhappy. To be fair the parents weren't THAT bad, and genuinely were trying to help their kids -how much does it cost to send a kid out there?
Parents also get rejected by their kids - that hurts too I think.
