    And then came the real, licensed therapists screaming, “WTF, stop this! This is terrible! These kids need actual therapy, not this torture!”

    Torturing “troubled teens” by forcing them through various gruesome and grueling tasks does not - much to the chagrin of sadistic monsters worldwide - somehow magically “fix” them. The concept of “gumption” or just “trying hard enough” doesn’t get a person though complex psychological problems.

    A person can’t just “walk it off” when it comes to serious shit, and that’s why societies need serious support systems for everyone. And that begins with Universal Healthcare for everyone.
