Brad Dowie

Brad Dowie was the worst teenager in his entire school. There was no other kid like him. He did everything you name it. Drugs, Alcohol, skipped school, went to all sorts of bars even though he was only 16. Brads father and step mother just couldn't take it. They didn't know what to do with him anymore until his dad took him to see a Physicologist(sorry don't know how to spell it)When the doctor told Brads father about a place for teens with problems Brad was not to happy about it. The doctor: Mr. Dowie, there's this school for teens like Brad called Mount Horizon I think you should send Brad there I mean... But then before the Doctor could finish his sentence brad cut in and said.. Brad: oh shit no. Dad you are not going to send me to some retard school for kids who cant deal with there own problems. AHH hell no!!!! Before anybody could say anything Brad turned toward his dad and punched him right in the side of his face and stormed out of the doctors office slamming the door behind him. In Brads Room Brad hated his stepmom so bad. His real mom died when he was 12 she was hit by a car while walking to her car to get something. Brad saw her get killed he was standing on the sidewalk waiting for her to come back. Brad was always a good kid until his mom was killed and his dad remarried. After that Brad was a living hell to raise. Brad was in his room thinking to himself. He did not want to go to that retard school. Brad was perfectly happy with where he was and the friends he had. Plus if people found out he went to that school and he came back home people would think of him as a total Freak. Then his dad entered his room. Brad looked at him and said "Get out of my room you ASSHOLE!!!" His father never ever stood up for himself when Brad cussed him out the way he did. All his dad ever really did was try to calm Brad down as much as possible and to just try to reason with him. He could tell that Brad really didn't want to go to this school but it was the best thing for him. So all he said was "Brad can I please talk to you I know you hate me right now and by sending you to this school will only help you" Brad looked up at him and knew that there was no way around this and said "Shit Dad do u think that I can help the way I am because I cant!" All his father had to say was "I know and I just want to help you now get packed you will be leaving for that school in 4 days" before his dad left his room Brad asked "Dad just what is this school" His father said "Its called Mount Horizon its like a camp its out in the woods only its not as fun as camp its like a camp to help teens like you get through there problems" All brad had to say was "o Shit"

4 days Later The day had come when Brad would be leaving for his new school. So they got into the Car. They arrived 3 hours later. Brad got out of the car looked around, he couldn't believe where he was. Then there was a man who greeted them "Hi my name is Peter Scarbrow and your name is Brad right? All brad had to say was "Yeah right" Then Peter said "well lets take you up to meet everybody. Brad said bye to his Dad and stepmother.In one way he was happy to get away from his parents but angry because he was stuck here. So Peter took Brad to his office and told him the rules and when lights out and he told him what group he would be in "Brad you will be in the Cliffhanger group. Brad said "O great im going to have so much fun aren't I" he said sarcastically and Peter finished with "O and if you need anyone to talk to I am always here for you" Then Brad said "O thanx my own best friend to talk to" he said again sarcastically" Then Peter said "Well lets go meet everybody"'
