As someone who was to a school with the exact same structure (Cross Creek in Utah), from 1997-1998, I can confirm that every detail about the schools setup is completely accurate. I never experienced abuse, or saw anyone being abused, to the degree these women did, but I do believe that it existed in other, similar "schools". From levels 1-6, with the privileges of makeup and shaving being earned after level 3, to the school's education structure, with independent learning and the requirement that we pass all exams with 80%+ to advance in a subject.

I was lucky. I had a wonderful group leader/therapist who cared immensely. I learned so much and grew emotionally, but I can also see how those that didn't have the same experience would have left with so much trauma. And it didn't mean that the bulk of my experience wasn't anywhere from terrifying to extremely uncomfortable.

I'm glad that the parts of these programs that are corrupt are being exposed, and that their insane shield of secrecy has been pierced. I hope this brings some sense of peace to the many that need it.

I watch a lot of TV...A LOT. As a semi-depressed single mom, I haven't laughed this hard or sat up and felt "high school butterflies" like this, until I watched this show. Please bring it back! <3. - Kristen Susemihl.

If you can let a funny and lighthearted movie be just that...then watch this. No one wants to read your 17 page analysis as to why this movie is or isn't "woke", or whatever. And please stop saying anything negative about healthy weight loss! I know personally how much that tore Pat from Fall Out Boy up...and not understanding why he was being trolled and picked on when he did something healthy for himself, and has the kindest heart. Don't be an a$$hat and congratulate Rebel for looking so amazing. -Kristen Susemihl.
