Breaking vs. Building

(USA Relevant)

In the past, boot camps were seen as a method of breaking down juvenile delinquents, to try and force discipline and order into their character.
Most people would agree that all this did is lead to a generation of young adults who saw ‘might as right’.

Don’t misbehave.
Why?
Because I say so.
So?
I’m bigger and scarier than you, and will break you in two if you don’t play along

Luckily, most people have moved on since that philosophy held ground. Now there are plenty of Juvenile Boot Camp Alternatives that are designed to get to the root of a teenager’s problems, help them to come to a realisation of how the world works, and build them up into better characters.

If you have a child who you think needs help, why not take the site’s online assessment, and see what can be done?
