Status Updates From Straightling: The True Stor...

The book dives deeper into her traumatic experience at Straight, Inc. Cyndy recounts the daily mental and emotional torment like being forced to "motivate" by flailing and yelling, or being attacked by peers for minor rule-breaking. As time passes, she begins to internalize the program’s language and rules, showing how deep the psychological manipulation runs. This section captures her struggles really well.

Cyndy gets sent to an old comers house and she is forced to strip down again to be checked for drugs. They take everything she has on her that could be used to kill herself and make her sleep in a locked room full of mattresses. This book is really starting to get interesting but it is a little traumatizing.

Its revealed that Cyndy gets sexually abused by her moms husband Jacque and she tries to run away when he gets mad at her and starts hitting her. She stays at friends and her older sisters house until the authorities take her and they send her to a drug rehab center called “Straight”. There they manipulate her into confessing that she does drugs and drinks alcohol. They are also very abusive and cruel to them.
