What problems or for what reasons are most participants in boot camps for?
A major reason why a teen would end up being sent to a boot camp is peer pressure. The pressure to belong to his or her peers can be quite a strain on your teenager and this can lead to disruptive behavior or hostility and defiance. These traits can influence your child’s actions and decisions to a point where intervention is necessary. Many teens are sent packing to boot camps for a number of other reasons that include drug abuse, violent behavior, committing criminal offences, disciplinary issues, and kids who come from broken families. However, as soon as you notice that your teen is showing signs of being disruptive and wayward, doesn’t mean you have to send them packing immediately. Troubled adolescents dealing with issues like depression, attempted suicide, self-harm, or other psychiatric problems would be better off in a therapeutic boarding school or a residential treatment center.
