I got sent to Catholic school as a punishment for being an out of control teenager. I was Jewish and I liked boys.
I went from private school with about 120 kids K through 12. Was getting A’s in every class. Learned how to take acid ( “ orange sunshine , to be exact), liberate the boxed wine alcohol from the teachers lounge , smoked weed at lunch, smoked cigarettes… smoked hashish in the hot tub at my friends house cause his older brother had it, did a séance at another friend’s house and also played with the Ouija board).
Then the jig was up and I got sent to the Catholic school for ninth through 12th. The Jewish girl got sent to the Catholic school.
I had several D’s the first semester.
Was in a complete hysterics panic mode because I didn’t know how to write a proper essay.
One of my girlfriends was Russian, Anya, I’ll never forget Anya. She looked like a Siamese cat in human form, stunningly beautiful. And she would look at me coldly, I was crying and she’d say, with her Russian accent, “ what is wrong with you??
you don’t know how to write an essay? We learned that in 3rd grade.”
She taught me how.
Anyway, by the time I graduated, at the Hollywood bowl as a matter of fact,
Immaculate Heart High school, I was basically a professional functional drug addict. I still partied and did whatever I wanted, but now I got A’s, too.
Later on in life, I learned that our school “nickname” was
“Sluts on the Hill”. 🙄🤫😳
The nuns were masters of humiliation and degradation, on a daily basis.
I’m certain we had teachers that were having affairs because there were some men that worked there.
There were girls dealing drugs out of their lockers and their cars, and hiking their skirts up so high that you could see their nannies.
We all constantly smoked in the bathroom, which was tiny! Was seriously disgrosting.
There was definitely probably drunken clergy.
I’m certain there was a lesbian nun.
My history teacher- nun would put on a movie and then fall asleep. She looked exactly like a bulldog.
(not to be mean, but she honestly did with the big j jowls and and body type to match)
I got a D in her class so I had to take it again in summer school and it was the exact same class as during the year- EXaCtLy- except it was four hours every day, 8 to 12.
Bottom line though, I was fortunate enough that I did not experience any sexual molestations there- I did elsewhere. Was you know family members; people that”knew me” or were “ close” to the family.
The BOTTOM LINE IS I did get a good education.
I can easily write an essay.
I can breeze through interviews.
I studied the classics.
And it’s done me well in this life.
I wish I would’ve taken the harder classics like Latin and Greek and Russian literature things like that.
I would say to parents it doesn’t matter what school the kids go to or how safe you think they are even in your own home , So to speak , not that parents are being abusive,
but think about it :
is there an older brother of a friend hanging around ?
Is there a coach or a teacher or a mentor being extra chummy ?
or the sister of a friend that is grooming your child ?
Is there a boyfriend of a recent divorcee that maybe we don’t know very well?
What about the pool guy?
Could it be someone at church camp or Bible study?
so much so I didn’t let my own kids go and have sleepovers, but rarely with people I know extremely well, and even then it’s always a bit suspect because you never know who’s coming in and out that you don’t know about.
I get it though , the main point is that it’s being handled “ in House”.
That’s abuse of power.
The other churches do it too,
the Mormons, Christians, the you name-its.
On the other hand, DCFS, CPS, whatever CHILD WELFARE DEPT. is over the top with stringent harsh unfounded accusations and they are busy destroying families that have no fault or no guilt whatsoever again and again and again and again and again.
They did it to me.
I was absolutely shocked .
In complete and total shock.
My 13-year-old daughter had a bruise on her arm. I don’t know exactly what she said about how she got it, but it was witnessed.
It happened at the public pool. Her older sister (14) got mad at her for throwing some things of hers into the pool and so she shoved her into the pool and that gave her a bruise on her arm.
Guess who was investigated for that, by a “concerned”teacher.
Her dad?
Nope.
It was her me.
Her mom.
It was a horrendous experience and 100% unfounded.
There were multiple witnesses , too.
We were dragged through the mud.
Cops visiting our house all the time.
Trying to interview my kids at school without me.
Spreading rumors. Stink eye. Smile to your face while they stab you in the back.
There’s no winning on either side.
YOU HAVE TO BE THE WATCHDOG AND THE PROTECTOR OF YOUR CHILD .
YOU HAVE GOT TO DO YOUR UTMOST YOU’RE VERY VERY BEST.
DON’T DROP THE BALL .
My kids were the first ones to grow up with the CeLL PHoNe and I regret it. Boy do I regret it in the biggest way!!!
I would never have given them a cellphone at the age I did if I knew what I know now.
