Military Boarding School May Not Be For Defiant Teen
Some military schools won't take troubled teen
Some parents want to send a troubled teen to military boarding school. They should be aware, however, that not all military schools will accept a defiant teen.Military schools have become respected academic institutions and a defiant teen (especially one who does not wish to be there) may be rejected.It is possible to find a military boarding school for troubled teen, but they are few and far between. However, if your teenager is only mildly troubled, and willing to try something new, military boarding school might be helpful.

My insite on this was, why would a parent go through so much to put there child in a military school and what happended to military schools not taking trouble teens. Myparents were thinkning about putting my sister in a military school but they changed there minds. I guess this is way. If a parent want to help ther child, they should not put them in a military school if the teen does not want togo there. It will only cause more problems with the child.

This reminds me of the NPR intervies with John Mayer. He was sayingthat teens dont like to be told what to do. If we dont want to do it, dont force it. Also the homework I read, Provance: "Generation Y's Silent Protest", it was sad how kids found that someone joing the Navy or any thing around those lines as a disease. Apparently its bad.
