I remembered Susan Boyers parents especially her Daddy rescued her and took her back to the drug rehabilitation center. I remembered when one of the staff kept saying, WE WANT YOUR FEELINGS! TALK IS CHEAP! I remembered when she’s really finally started talking about things were going on when she’s upset/ scared especially when she’s said she doesn’t want her old life back. I remembered at first when one of the staff said,YOU WANT YOUR DRUGS! YOU LIVE EVERY DAY,GET HIGH! You take one step at a time because each step is a scary step. Congrats 🍾🎉 when Susan Boyers finally got to go home 🏠, especially when she’s said, I’M COMING HOME! Especially when she’s hugs her parents, everyone cheers 🥂 for her, especially her friends there. Jennydebrier
I think that’s Susan Boyers want to be popular especially when her parents confronted her when they her drugs hidden behind her stereo speakers 🔊, hangout with her druggy friends especially her boyfriend when Kelly came home from school . Susan Boyers and her boyfriend smoking 🚬 reefer/ marijuana. I remembered when Susan Boyers beats her sister’s Kelly up especially when she’s rat 🐀 on her gave her a black eye 👁. I’m sure that’s the hardest thing was when Susan Boyers was really furious when they left her at the drug rehabilitation center. I remembered when she’s tried to runaway several of the girls/ staff had to block the door 🚪 especially when they restrained her various rules. Jennydebrier
I remembered when Susan Boyers parents trick her especially when they talked about going to private boarding school instead her parents left her there especially when she’s said, I’m No Druggy especially when they, Hi Susan, I’m Jean, I’m Wendy! We’re Druggys Too! We Love ❤️ You Susan Boyers! 😮
I love it 🥰 especially Stockard Channing’s was Susan Boyers, Mom. I love it 🥰 especially she’s really loves her even when her parents talk about her going away to boarding school 🏫. She’s was really going to a druggy rehabilitation instead. I’m sure that it’s was the hardest thing especially they left her there. I remembered when she’s was piss when her sister’s Kelly told her parents her drugs were hidden behind her stereo speakers 🔊. I remembered when her parents especially her Daddy grounded her. I remembered when Kelly came home from school 🏫, Susan Boyers and her boyfriend were smoking 🚬 marijuana or whatever. She calls her a narc especially when she’s beat Kelly up. She had a black eye 👁. I remembered when she said please get up, Kelly! I’m sorry! It’s not your fault!
My friend was same way then she eventually grew up realized she could smoke a little pot I remember only thing she would do was ccc aka cough medicine lol. Honestly most fucked up I've ever been was off those and I've done almost everything besides opium peyote rare stuff like that. Still would though if I could get my hands on some sweet rare gems like those. Lol anyways you were smart drugs are fuckin stupid. Ruin lives.
I had all this with my daughter, and it was heartbreaking and dreadful. Her dad gave up on her and he was awful. Eventually I had to let her go until she had enough and came back. It split my partner and I up but a few years later I have a wonderful daughter and knew she would be OK.
Let me get this straight... her father "let her go until she had enough and came back" but to you he was "awful" and gave up on her. Your new boyfriend does the same thing, so you left him. Then YOU gave up on her, but somehow it wasn't giving up, it was letting her figure it out on her own and somehow you are the hero who saved your daughter.. is that about right?? I think I know why your daughter became a druggie.
@@catherineannelockman3805 I used weed to cure my anorexia. It also helps me a ton with my C-PTSD and day to day life. I even picked up art. Wouldn't change a thing. Use it almost everyday. And I vape. Organic. Never touched cigarettes or alcohol or other drugs.
Hash is just pot with all of the leaves removed so it's just the part that gets you high. Hash oil is just hash in a liquid form. THC is the active ingredient in pot. So yes they are all the same thing. They are all non addictive and safer than alcohol with a yearly death rate of zero.
Me too. She was sweet. I actually got pissed and literally said out loud "bitch" to Susan when she was punching her. Lol. I wanted to give her a hug after that scene.
It seems I sew in my mirror when my daughter stareted taking heroin lying me always into my face.I witnessed her dying about 10 years piece by piece.It was a nightmare! This could be my daughter shouting out;I,m coming home.........
I remember watching this in guidance class in sixth grade. At the time my friend Kelly had cancer and died in June. The violent scene between the sisters was always too much for me. When we watched it in health class, I had to leave. Amazing how the human mind works.
Damn these kids would make a rock star blush with that baggage.....PCP, LSD, coke, heroin, ....really? Something else I noticed, is that all these kids appeared to come from squeaky clean, stable, two parent homes. I know they were trying to drive that point home by showing that not all drug addicts come from the ghetto...but it more or less resembled a privileged brats drug rehab.
+Stephanie Baker Haha, I remember they showed this movie to us in public school in Los Angeles back in 11th grade health class (1990, btw). And it fit that bill perfectly; it was overdone, poorly acted, and highly exaggerated every single factor involved, especially the kids & their wanton use of drugs. Lots of teenagers experiment and all of them come from different homes, races & cultures, but seriously, the kids in this film were so overblown in their drug use roles that they didn't even realize that they were listing the same drugs over & over again in their rehab speeches (e.g. pot, THC, acid, LSD). This was only to drive home the point that "Drugs are bad, m'kay?" And hiding the pills in her stereo speakers? COME ON!!! I can remember the whole health class snickering during this film constantly, it was so bad! :) So, short answer...I agree!
I've been a heroin addict since high school and I'm 24 now. I come from an amazing family (my parents are still together, my brothers a college lacrosse player with straight A's, they have money). It's weird it's an epidemic in my area. I recently got out of jail and I was in there with so many girls I knew from high school and middle school who also come from wealthy family's.. My boyfriend is an addict also and he grew up with crack head parents in a trailer. Addiction doesn't discriminate
+geenamariiie21 Hi, I completely agree. I'm an English 39 yr old woman and ive had a drug habit for years and years and years, trying to detox of heroin once again. I come from a loving family and I never wanted for anything growing u. I live in one of the most expensive areas outside London. I have a medical degree , I had a fantastic childhood and my brother was a professional football player. its an epidemic where i'm from too. Really strange. everyone is fucked up here. DRUGS/ADDICTION DEFINITELY DO NOT DISCRIMINATE. I hope you manage to kick the shit. Its a hard life isnt it when you're addiction takes over everything. You become your addiction. I;m 40 years old in 7 months time and that makes me middle aged and i'm still fucked. try to sort it out before you get as old as me. You are young enough to turn your life around and start afresh and still have your best years - your 30's ahead of you. I wish you all the luck in the world . I really do. Good luck and god bless. xx
+Stephanie Baker SO? Kids from white families with parents who work can't get fucked up? What, did the producers not meet the black quota in the film? Hate to tell you this but back in 1986 single parents were not the norm..if anything it shows you how the world in this regard has gone downhill and fast..
I dreaded movies like this. They were often after school specials back in the 80s, and when we walked thru the door from school, our mom was standing there with a disgusted look on her face with remote control in hand, and she'd say in an irate tone, "you love to watch TV so much? Then sit your butt down & watch this special on tv." 😂 Those after school specials made our parents upset with US as tho we were the rebellious kids on the TV screen. 😂 ahhhhh...., good times
Julie Garbs so was I .I have a serious heart murmur and Peer pressure is something else! However I stood my ground! No drugs---Lost a few so-called friends at that time! OHH Well 👍🏾
I love it’s especially when Susan Boyers said, I’m Coming Home 🏠 especially when Jean and Wendy cheers 🥂 for her,especially when she’s hugs her parents especially her Daddy. Jennydebrier

I remembered various rules at Druggys rehabilitation center especially like no jewelry, no belts, no cosmetics/ makeup 💄 especially right away she’s had to get rid of jewelry especially her earrings and belt. There’s were other various rules like no magazines, no candy 🍬, no chewing gum, no TV 📺, no Radio 📻! no Phone ☎️ especially no visitor whiteout prior notice. I remembered that the parents were required to attend meetings on Wednesday’s and Saturdays. I remembered when it’s was Susan Boyers night to give her testimony about what drugs have done to her life especially when she’s talks about when she’s got pregnant 🤰, she and her boyfriend broke into house 🏡, stores 🏬 or whatever’s get money 💵 for her abortion. Sometimes I felt like the other kids especially staff were really hard on her. Jennydebrier
This movie is burned into my brain from the 80s from what happened to my sisters. On the lighter side start at 51:21 to enjoy the voice of Bart Simpson before she was famous.
Hi Susan! I’m Jean! I’m Wendy! We’re Druggys Too! I think that’s her parents had to lie to her pretend she’s going to boarding school 🏫. I’m that’s was the hardest decision when they left her there. What’s The First Rule, We Learn In Here Group? Be Honest! Get Honest Susan Boyers! We Want Your Feelings! Tell Susan How You Feel! Don’t Lecture Or Complain! Deal With Your Honest Feelings! Talk Is Cheap! I remembered when Susan was pissed especially when she’s calls Kelly a narc especially when she and Druggy boyfriend were smoking 🚬 marijuana, reefer or whatever. I remembered she’s gave Kelly a black eye 👁. Come On Kelly! Please Get Up Kelly! It’s Not Your Fault! I’m Sorry! I’ll Get You Something! I remembered when several of the girls had to block the door 🚪 especially they had to restrain her, especially when they we’re going through her stuff. I remembered various rules like no jewelry, no belts, no candy 🍭, no TV 📺, no phone ☎️, no radio 📻, no chewing gum, no magazines, no cosmetics, no profanity, no fighting, no shoving and other various stuff. I remembered the windows were nail/ locked 🔒. A Druggy! I remembered when she’s runaway from Druggy rehabilitation center especially her Daddy rescued her when she’s said, You Bastard! You Called! I’m Not Goin Back There! I’m Not Goin Back There! I Hate It! I Hate It! then her Daddy took her back there. We Love You Susan! I’m glad that Susan Boyers sister’s Kelly still love ❤️ her. Jennydebrier
Yes she is..She is very badly spoiled and her mother is too careless.Fortunately the father will be TOUGH ON HER KID . She needs authority and someone to show her the way of responsibilty..I was shocked at the beginning of the movie.The blonde girl had a car accident and is severely injured and when she comes home the mother doesn't worry about her state and is indulgent .She is so stupid! No wonder the girl took drugs.
I had seen this movie at the college in 1985 and 1986. I do think this movie used to be quiet educational for me as I never took drug. Some of my friends saw Christiane F in their high school.
I remembered Susan Boyers was scheduled to give her testimony about her past in front of her family and other people too. I remembered when one of the staff asked how long she’s been doing drugs, she said 3 years and one of the staff, what’s that make you, a druggie! I felt sorry for her especially since the other girls and staff were ganging up on her, sometimes I felt like it’s wasn’t ever good enough, no matter hard, she’s tried. I’m glad that her sister, Kelly still love ❤️ her. I’m glad that her sister Kelly still love her sister, Susan Boyers. I’m glad that her Mom realizes that and her Daddy, needs to stop running 🏃 away. Jennydebrier
Growing up in Southern California in the 80s, in all honesty, these movies were kind of a joke. No one in my circles really took them seriously because no one was using heroin and pcp in Jr high and high school, and meth was considered something still a little out there. people were trying it but not like it is today. There were also programs like Free Way for kids that were super popular. Southern California was a trippy place to grow up. That's for sure.
I’m glad that the Mom, Stockard Channing who plays Rizzo in the movie 🍿, Grease wasn’t scared to say what’s she’s had to say/ do whatever it’s took to try to help her daughter, Susan especially in that drug rehabilitation center running away and pretended everything is Okay doesn’t help at all. Jennydebrier
Andrew Robinson can always be counted on to play a sanctimonious jerk to a tee. Solid acting all the way around in this one. Remember seeing it on TV when I was 14.
I was 12 the first time I saw this so I didn’t know all of the drugs that they were talking about but now that I do….WOW!!! Is all that I can say!!! Some powerful stuff!!!Love this movie! Thanks!!
Loosen the constraints a little. I think that lying little madams constraints haven’t been tight enough. Her mother is in complete denial. After raising 4 children I never believe a thing they said. If I suspected anything was going on. I was on the hunt for the truth even if it wasn’t what I wanted to find out. Better feeling let down then losing a child to drugs or anything else that lurk in the shadows that prays on teenagers. I know this because I lost a sister to drugs and I’m not talking about weed that’s nothing compared to what’s out there. In fact it should be legalised so young people don’t come into contact with the scum that reels them in to get pot and end up on the hard stuff.
I must say this movie had it's Highs and low. As a parent as much as we love our children dearly we need to make spot check at their school know the friend they hang with ,despite knowing all of this we must also recognize we made the children not their mind,we have a major challenge to raise them May God be with us as we strive to do our job and give us the courage we really need . Parent please if you ever recognize sign /Symptoms your child is in danger or a friend or family warn u please investigate early in particular if it the experimental stage of adolescence. LOVE U PARENTS ALL MAY THE BLESSING OF ALMIGHTY KEEP GIVING U THE STRENTH TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN.
I remembered everyone kept saying, Get Honest With Yourself! We Want Your Feelings, Just Talk To Us! I remembered when Susan Boyers was upset/ crying, I think she’s had a lot of things she’s has been struggling with when she’s ran away and her Daddy kidnapped her when he’s took her backto the drug rehabilitation center. It’s took a lot of guts when it’s was night to give her testimony about talk about her past, especially she’s got pregnant 🤰, she’s was scared to tell her parents what’s happened. Her and her boyfriend broke into houses/ stores to pay 💰 for her abortion. I remembered during lunch 🥙 she’s got into a fight with one of the other girls. She’s ran away, from the drug rehabilitation center because she’s couldn’t take it anymore. I know that’s Susan’s sister Kelly really loves her. Jennydebrier
The mother got on my nerves the whole movie! Be a damn parent and don't always think your little angels are not going to get into trouble. Realize she's doing something wrong and make her learn while she's young that there are consequences for your mistakes.
She wasn't in denial the whole movie .. This movie is a true and very accurate account of what a lot of teen addict's parent's go through.. The Mom eventually realized her Daughter was a drug addict like all of the other kid's in the rehab and her friend's she partied and got in trouble with ..
@@MooseCallExactly and too many people on here compare the VERY TAME tactics in this movie to the mentally and physical abuse of Synanon and similar places..
I remembered when Susan Boyers parents left at the drug rehabilitation center especially when she’s meet Wendy and Jean, they said Hi Susan! We’re Druggys Too especially when she’s tried to run, they blocked the door 🚪 especially when she’s said,I’ll Run, I Hate You! especially they had to restrain her. I love it 🥰 especially when she’s said, I’m Coming Home 🏡 especially seeing her happy especially when she’s hugs her parents especially her Daddy. I’m glad that during group meetings when she’s crying talks about what been going on in her life. Jennydebrier
The counselor in the treatment program was ahead of his time. We can recover especially if around a community of supportive people who have the same disease addiction
The blonde girl who is holding Susan down on the chair when she first enters the drug center is the woman who does the voice of Bart Simpson!! How crazy is that!!!
I remembered when Susan Boyers Daddy’s took her to the drug rehabilitation center especially when she’s said, she’s scared especially when she said she doesn’t want her past at all. WE WANT YOUR FEELINGS! TALK IS CHEAP! I remembered when one of the staff told her than you take one step at a time because each staff is a scary one. Jennydebrier
We Love You Susan! I’m glad that one of the girls sticks up for her especially since one of the other girls was giving her a hard time! I’m glad that Susan Boyers finally got to go home, especially when she’s hugs her family especially her sister. Jennydebrier
Stockard Channings, she’s was a really wonderful Mother, she’s no problem saying and doing what’s she’s had to say/ do. She’s really loves her daughter, Susan Boyers when they talk during weekly meetings. Jennydebrier
I loved when Susan Boyers said, I’m Coming Home! I loved seeing her parents, especially her Daddy, she’s had a lot of feelings going on when she’s was crying, she tried please her Daddy when she’s was on drugs, it’s made things worse. I’m glad that one of the girls in group sticks up for her especially since she’s know she’s doing her best. Jennydebrier
Nah. It's not impossible. I ditched school for almost month. I'd show up everyday to see my friends and see who wanted to ditch, I would call in sick, impersonating my mom, telling the office that "my daughter was ill/had an appointment blah blah blah blah blah, and take off. I would show up for tests, which I always passed, and I'd leave again. I finally got caught when one of my teachers saw me at a pool hall. Funny thing was, I never drank or did drugs, I just hated school, hated home. I was restless and wanted out of both.
I remembered when Susan Boyers had to give her testimony on Saturday night when her family and other people were there, she’s was really upset/ scared when she’s talking about her past, especially when she’s got pregnant 🤰 and had to have a abortion, she’s was scared to tell her parents when she’s and her boyfriend broke into stores 🏬 like 7-11/ United Dairy 🥛 Farm and other people’s homes. I remembered when everyone kept telling her, that’s we 😍, Susan! I’m glad that her family especially her sister really loves her. I know she’s missing about hanging out together with her. Jennydebrier
Classic TVM Do you know which month in 1985 this would have aired? For some reason I don't remember this one... I was a pretty avid tv watcher back then:)
@@musicmamma Thanks, I would have just had my 24th birthday, October 85, I probably saw this but there was a lot of turmoil for me personally at the time so maybe I didn't notice it as much:)
I remembered when Susan Boyers ran away from the drug rehabilitation center when her Daddy rescued her, I remembered that she’s was furious , Damm You! I’m Not Going There! I Hate It! I Hate It! especially when her Daddy took her back to the drug rehabilitation center. Jennydebrier
I remembered when Jean and Wendy told Susan Boyers their druggys too especially when her parents left her at that drug to rehabilitation center. She’s almost tried to run especially when they had to block the door 🚪 especially when they restrained/ pinned her down. I remembered when she’s said that’s she’s wanted to fit with older guys/ kids at school be popular. Jennydebrier
The program depicted in this movie is based upon Synanon, a dangerous and violent cult. While I can understand a parents frustration with their kid's drug use, NEVER put them into a rehab program like this!
NAW not identical this program wasn't abusive like Synanon was to the point of torturing the kid's mentally and physically.. A couple of teen's died because of Synanon type treatment camp's. The only similarities are they encouraged the other addict's to call other's out on their BS their parent's were buying for too long .. Nothing that was done here "verbally" in this movie would cause someone's death.. Actress Mila ? from That 70s Show was in a movie about a Rehab Camp similar to Synanon.. The kid's were put into a circle and other teen's yelled at them bullied them it was brutal .. This rehab was tame in comparison Addict's of every age are great con artist's they spout off their usual BS and in this type of program they're called out on it by their peer's whether teen's or adult's that's not abusive ..
I’m glad that Susan Boyers finally starts talking responsibility for her behavior especially when it’s was her night give her testimony about what drugs have done to her life, especially when the staff asked her how long she’s been doing drugs, when she’s said A Druggy. Jennydebrier
@@Ysabelcast89214That's another way this good movie is depicting the TRUTH's about having a drug or alcohol addiction.. Being an addict changes their personality compared to when they are sober..
Ryan Huntington, it is based in fact, but long before it was a Lifetime movie, it was an ABC or NBC Movie of the Week. Also, it was shown in schools for like most of a decade after it was made.
Just a great show. Really. I enjoyed it. Miss these shows used to watch them all the time when I was a kid. In the 80s. Great Era really miss it. God bless all the people that struggle with alcoholism and addiction. Every day and RIP the ones who have lost they're lives. As well REST IN PEACE. GOD BLESS KEEP ON FIGHTING NEVER GIVE UP. 🙏 ❤️
Good depiction of a family dealing with addiction -- however, actually, in real life, it's 10 times worse! Good acting, good movie... I cried at the end!
What so many people nowadays cannot handle is the part in the beginning where those kids are keeping their hands up as he counts down ages that they got started doing drugs. NO PARENT.. NONE wants to admit their kid started as young as ten or earlier... then they would have to admit they didn't know anything going on in their own homes. The one that disgusted me was how many answered "How many of you got high with a teacher?"
+David Welsh disturbing...when I was there age I was playing hide and seek , and hop scotch ......parents need to wake the f up..if I had a kid id be searching there rooms daily (without there knowledge , ) id be so far up there arses ..... and if they ever tried that b.s if have them arrested and put in jail .
Ok, now that I'm about a half hour into the movie, I've got a new interpretation. This movie gives off the message, your parents may have fucked you up, but fuck you, you're a monster for doing drugs!
Funny, they don't mention the real gateway drug, alcohol. Stockard Channing, I remember seeing her on Broadway. Great actress. Good movie. They should play this movie in schools. All is relevant. Now we worry about opioids. My parents would tell me, "If you keep it green, you keep it clean." Peace.
She was playing a high school student in Grease 7 years before this role. Wherein she's the mother of a high school student. Aaaaah, the 70s... When every teenager in every movie or TV show was played by someone in their early 30s!
1:22:16 is how I imagine my Mom was in a “Parent Rap”. I was in the facility that this movie was based on. Straight Inc. Atlanta Held against my will for over 600 days, and it was NOT therapy, it was mental cruelty.
Thank you for speaking up in the midst of all these weird cultists that worship this pseudoscientific garbage. This movie was a propaganda/ marketing piece for straight inc. that they didn’t even have to pay to make. I was in a facility that borrowed their pseudoscience in equal measures from Synanon and the seed… They showed us this movie until we all wanted to puke. Forcing confessions out of teenage girls is not therapeutic. Most of those kids in those programs didn’t do half of what they admitted in those groups.
Drugs were not really around when I went to school. Pot would have been the worse but I only witnessed that once and there was no pressure put on anyone. It’s scary what’s around now.
being born into the 90's generation i can honestly say i have never taken any drugs! Don't smoke ? I got drunk 1 time but that was earlier this year and im over 18 made me feel so sick and never done it again. I did not fall victim to peer pressure..
Segal gives a strong anti-drugs performance in "Born to win" opp. De Niro ('71); his stealing from his g/f etc. Aronovsky's "Requiem for a dream" THE film that would put you off drugs. "Panic in Needle Park" too, no glamour in drug usage, "Trainspotting" where the baby walking on the ceiling pretty horrible too.
I’m a drug addict. Am now in treatment. Been clean 4 months. If you’re thinking about taking drugs, don’t! They will ruin your life!
You can do it! Just believe in yourself and think about what's important to you.
God bless you 💖🙏🏼
Much respect @Screaming Tima my worst day sober still beats my best day drunk
Congratulations!! Hope you’re still going strong
Hope You Are Doing Well!! Just Don't Ever Give Up!! 🤗🙏👍🤔😎
I would have loved to have a father like that. Kids don't know how lucky they are.
Me too. My father was and still is a narcissistic jerk.
I remembered Susan Boyers parents especially her Daddy rescued her and took her back to the drug rehabilitation center. I remembered when one of the staff kept saying, WE WANT YOUR FEELINGS! TALK IS CHEAP! I remembered when she’s really finally started talking about things were going on when she’s upset/ scared especially when she’s said she doesn’t want her old life back. I remembered at first when one of the staff said,YOU WANT YOUR DRUGS! YOU LIVE EVERY DAY,GET HIGH! You take one step at a time because each step is a scary step.

Geez this movie touched me to the core. I pray for all children/teenagers to be delivered from the use of drugs.
I don't. I fought for the decriminalization of cannabis here in Germany and I will continue do fight until it's completely legal.
I remember watching this when it originally came on TV. Still gets me very emotional.
I think that’s Susan Boyers want to be popular especially when her parents confronted her when they her drugs hidden behind her stereo speakers 🔊, hangout with her druggy friends especially her boyfriend when Kelly came home from school . Susan Boyers and her boyfriend smoking 🚬 reefer/ marijuana. I remembered when Susan Boyers beats her sister’s Kelly up especially when she’s rat 🐀 on her gave her a black eye 👁. I’m sure that’s the hardest thing was when Susan Boyers was really furious when they left her at the drug rehabilitation center. I remembered when she’s tried to runaway several of the girls/ staff had to block the door 🚪 especially when they restrained her various rules. Jennydebrier
I remembered when Susan Boyers parents trick her especially when they talked about going to private boarding school instead her parents left her there especially when she’s said, I’m No Druggy especially when they, Hi Susan, I’m Jean, I’m Wendy! We’re Druggys Too! We Love ❤️ You Susan Boyers! 😮
I love it 🥰 especially Stockard Channing’s was Susan Boyers, Mom. I love it 🥰 especially she’s really loves her even when her parents talk about her going away to boarding school 🏫. She’s was really going to a druggy rehabilitation instead. I’m sure that it’s was the hardest thing especially they left her there. I remembered when she’s was piss when her sister’s Kelly told her parents her drugs were hidden behind her stereo speakers 🔊. I remembered when her parents especially her Daddy grounded her. I remembered when Kelly came home from school 🏫, Susan Boyers and her boyfriend were smoking 🚬 marijuana or whatever. She calls her a narc especially when she’s beat Kelly up. She had a black eye 👁. I remembered when she said please get up, Kelly! I’m sorry! It’s not your fault!
@@jennydebrier3190, Yes, they tricked her, but they at the end of the ropes.
I never did any drugs. I was too chicken to try. I have a pre existing heart condition. So not a good idea to try.
It's not a good idea for ANYONE to try drugs........
My friend was same way then she eventually grew up realized she could smoke a little pot I remember only thing she would do was ccc aka cough medicine lol. Honestly most fucked up I've ever been was off those and I've done almost everything besides opium peyote rare stuff like that. Still would though if I could get my hands on some sweet rare gems like those. Lol anyways you were smart drugs are fuckin stupid. Ruin lives.
another good reason to avoid drugs is addiction or mental illness in one's family. drugs can trigger/activate.
Julie Garbs me too ❤️
I have a rapid pulse, POTS and a mitral valve regurgitation but I smoke marijuana and have daily for 19 years. I also need medication
I had all this with my daughter, and it was heartbreaking and dreadful. Her dad gave up on her and he was awful. Eventually I had to let her go until she had enough and came back. It split my partner and I up but a few years later I have a wonderful daughter and knew she would be OK.
Yes.
I'm so sorry 😞
I'm so sorry you had to go through that
Let me get this straight... her father "let her go until she had enough and came back" but to you he was "awful" and gave up on her. Your new boyfriend does the same thing, so you left him. Then YOU gave up on her, but somehow it wasn't giving up, it was letting her figure it out on her own and somehow you are the hero who saved your daughter.. is that about right??
I think I know why your daughter became a druggie.

I love that movie lol
Yeah she sure did
That was a good one.
lots of kids did drugs when I graduated from high school in the 70s. glad I stayed out of.
Me too!
So am I...
@@catherineannelockman3805 I used weed to cure my anorexia. It also helps me a ton with my C-PTSD and day to day life. I even picked up art. Wouldn't change a thing. Use it almost everyday. And I vape. Organic. Never touched cigarettes or alcohol or other drugs.
One of the best movies around about drug addiction & an in your face "tough love" approach to recovery. ✌
How many who grew up in the '80s ended up being made to watch this by their parents? Ah, good times...
I should make my kid watch it now.
I love how the guy at the very beginning lists "pot, hash, hash oil, THC" like they're totally separate drugs.
I thought hash and pot where the same thing
No they're not the same.
Hash is just pot with all of the leaves removed so it's just the part that gets you high. Hash oil is just hash in a liquid form. THC is the active ingredient in pot. So yes they are all the same thing. They are all non addictive and safer than alcohol with a yearly death rate of zero.
I thought the same XD
I’m addicted to hotdogs, peaches, deli meats, and food.
😂
I love the little sister, I want to hug her.
Me too. She was sweet. I actually got pissed and literally said out loud "bitch" to Susan when she was punching her. Lol. I wanted to give her a hug after that scene.
I respect the father
I remember watching this after coming home from the hospital with A broken wrist.
It seems I sew in my mirror when my daughter stareted taking heroin lying me always into my face.I witnessed her dying about 10 years piece by piece.It was a nightmare! This could be my daughter shouting out;I,m coming home.........
I remember watching this in guidance class in sixth grade. At the time my friend Kelly had cancer and died in June. The violent scene between the sisters was always too much for me. When we watched it in health class, I had to leave. Amazing how the human mind works.

Damn these kids would make a rock star blush with that baggage.....PCP, LSD, coke, heroin, ....really?
Something else I noticed, is that all these kids appeared to come from squeaky clean, stable, two parent homes. I know they were trying to drive that point home by showing that not all drug addicts come from the ghetto...but it more or less resembled a privileged brats drug rehab.
+Stephanie Baker Haha, I remember they showed this movie to us in public school in Los Angeles back in 11th grade health class (1990, btw). And it fit that bill perfectly; it was overdone, poorly acted, and highly exaggerated every single factor involved, especially the kids & their wanton use of drugs. Lots of teenagers experiment and all of them come from different homes, races & cultures, but seriously, the kids in this film were so overblown in their drug use roles that they didn't even realize that they were listing the same drugs over & over again in their rehab speeches (e.g. pot, THC, acid, LSD). This was only to drive home the point that "Drugs are bad, m'kay?" And hiding the pills in her stereo speakers? COME ON!!! I can remember the whole health class snickering during this film constantly, it was so bad! :) So, short answer...I agree!
well, in my professional experience, those are the only kids that can afford real rehab.
I've been a heroin addict since high school and I'm 24 now. I come from an amazing family (my parents are still together, my brothers a college lacrosse player with straight A's, they have money). It's weird it's an epidemic in my area. I recently got out of jail and I was in there with so many girls I knew from high school and middle school who also come from wealthy family's.. My boyfriend is an addict also and he grew up with crack head parents in a trailer. Addiction doesn't discriminate
+geenamariiie21
Hi, I completely agree. I'm an English 39 yr old woman and ive had a drug habit for years and years and years, trying to detox of heroin once again. I come from a loving family and I never wanted for anything growing u. I live in one of the most expensive areas outside London. I have a medical degree , I had a fantastic childhood and my brother was a professional football player. its an epidemic where i'm from too. Really strange. everyone is fucked up here.
DRUGS/ADDICTION DEFINITELY DO NOT DISCRIMINATE.
I hope you manage to kick the shit. Its a hard life isnt it when you're addiction takes over everything. You become your addiction.
I;m 40 years old in 7 months time and that makes me middle aged and i'm still fucked. try to sort it out before you get as old as me. You are young enough to turn your life around and start afresh and still have your best years - your 30's ahead of you.
I wish you all the luck in the world . I really do. Good luck and god bless. xx
+Stephanie Baker SO? Kids from white families with parents who work can't get fucked up? What, did the producers not meet the black quota in the film? Hate to tell you this but back in 1986 single parents were not the norm..if anything it shows you how the world in this regard has gone downhill and fast..
A wonderful moving film based on in depth characterisation rather than a trite storyline. A refreshing change.
I dreaded movies like this. They were often after school specials back in the 80s, and when we walked thru the door from school, our mom was standing there with a disgusted look on her face with remote control in hand, and she'd say in an irate tone, "you love to watch TV so much? Then sit your butt down & watch this special on tv." 😂 Those after school specials made our parents upset with US as tho we were the rebellious kids on the TV screen. 😂 ahhhhh...., good times
watching this after smoking. this is pure gold
Julie Garbs so was I .I have a serious heart murmur and Peer pressure is something else! However I stood my ground! No drugs---Lost a few so-called friends at that time! OHH Well 👍🏾

I remembered various rules at Druggys rehabilitation center especially like no jewelry, no belts, no cosmetics/ makeup 💄 especially right away she’s had to get rid of jewelry especially her earrings and belt. There’s were other various rules like no magazines, no candy 🍬, no chewing gum, no TV 📺, no Radio 📻! no Phone ☎️ especially no visitor whiteout prior notice. I remembered that the parents were required to attend meetings on Wednesday’s and Saturdays. I remembered when it’s was Susan Boyers night to give her testimony about what drugs have done to her life especially when she’s talks about when she’s got pregnant 🤰, she and her boyfriend broke into house 🏡, stores 🏬 or whatever’s get money 💵 for her abortion. Sometimes I felt like the other kids especially staff were really hard on her. Jennydebrier
This movie is burned into my brain from the 80s from what happened to my sisters. On the lighter side start at 51:21 to enjoy the voice of Bart Simpson before she was famous.
Hi Susan! I’m Jean! I’m Wendy! We’re Druggys Too! I think that’s her parents had to lie to her pretend she’s going to boarding school 🏫. I’m that’s was the hardest decision when they left her there. What’s The First Rule, We Learn In Here Group? Be Honest! Get Honest Susan Boyers! We Want Your Feelings! Tell Susan How You Feel! Don’t Lecture Or Complain! Deal With Your Honest Feelings! Talk Is Cheap! I remembered when Susan was pissed especially when she’s calls Kelly a narc especially when she and Druggy boyfriend were smoking 🚬 marijuana, reefer or whatever. I remembered she’s gave Kelly a black eye 👁. Come On Kelly! Please Get Up Kelly! It’s Not Your Fault! I’m Sorry! I’ll Get You Something! I remembered when several of the girls had to block the door 🚪 especially they had to restrain her, especially when they we’re going through her stuff. I remembered various rules like no jewelry, no belts, no candy 🍭, no TV 📺, no phone ☎️, no radio 📻, no chewing gum, no magazines, no cosmetics, no profanity, no fighting, no shoving and other various stuff. I remembered the windows were nail/ locked 🔒. A Druggy! I remembered when she’s runaway from Druggy rehabilitation center especially her Daddy rescued her when she’s said, You Bastard! You Called! I’m Not Goin Back There! I’m Not Goin Back There! I Hate It! I Hate It! then her Daddy took her back there. We Love You Susan! I’m glad that Susan Boyers sister’s Kelly still love ❤️ her. Jennydebrier
the mother omg!!! the daughter is a spoiled brat she needs lots of tough love....
Yes she is..She is very badly spoiled and her mother is too careless.Fortunately the father will be TOUGH ON HER KID . She needs authority and someone to show her the way of responsibilty..I was shocked at the beginning of the movie.The blonde girl had a car accident and is severely injured and when she comes home the mother doesn't worry about her state and is indulgent .She is so stupid! No wonder the girl took drugs.
Have you ever taken drugs?
Drugs at 11 that scares the hell out of me since I av a 12yr old
I had seen this movie at the college in 1985 and 1986. I do think this movie used to be quiet educational for me as I never took drug. Some of my friends saw Christiane F in their high school.
That movie was brutal. More brutal bc it was true
This TV movie was done by the same guys who did The Muppet Show.
Shit got real in 12:11 when Frank flipped over the bed looking for them Quaaludes.
I did chocolate cakes, ho-ho's, ding-dongs, chocolate....
Stephanie Vela Anderson I drink coffee! I'm addicted to coffee! I think of coffee! Coffee forever!
That's funny. Most people do that AFTER they take the other stuff!

coffee is fine
I watched youtube...
I'm happy the dad read through his daughter's bullshit. If it was up to the mother, they would've been SOL.
Yes indeed! He saw through every lie!
I remembered Susan Boyers was scheduled to give her testimony about her past in front of her family and other people too. I remembered when one of the staff asked how long she’s been doing drugs, she said 3 years and one of the staff, what’s that make you, a druggie! I felt sorry for her especially since the other girls and staff were ganging up on her, sometimes I felt like it’s wasn’t ever good enough, no matter hard, she’s tried. I’m glad that her sister, Kelly still love ❤️ her. I’m glad that her sister Kelly still love her sister, Susan Boyers. I’m glad that her Mom realizes that and her Daddy, needs to stop running 🏃 away. Jennydebrier
Wish they made more films like this now a days portraying drug use in young life and its effects
My parent's were involved in shit like that too. My father admitted it but my mom's another story.
Growing up in Southern California in the 80s, in all honesty, these movies were kind of a joke. No one in my circles really took them seriously because no one was using heroin and pcp in Jr high and high school, and meth was considered something still a little out there. people were trying it but not like it is today. There were also programs like Free Way for kids that were super popular. Southern California was a trippy place to grow up. That's for sure.
"theyre not mine, I was holding them for someone" A LOT from this movie was used for the strangers with candy TV series. Pure comedy
lol ikr? wouldn't the person you're holding them for need them? like bad??

I’m glad that the Mom, Stockard Channing who plays Rizzo in the movie 🍿, Grease wasn’t scared to say what’s she’s had to say/ do whatever it’s took to try to help her daughter, Susan especially in that drug rehabilitation center running away and pretended everything is Okay doesn’t help at all.

this is a wake up call for her
Andrew Robinson can always be counted on to play a sanctimonious jerk to a tee. Solid acting all the way around in this one. Remember seeing it on TV when I was 14.
I was 12 the first time I saw this so I didn’t know all of the drugs that they were talking about but now that I do….WOW!!! Is all that I can say!!! Some powerful stuff!!!Love this movie! Thanks!!
I did twizzlers, twinkies , kool aid , chocolate bars ....

This was in the 80's its 2019 the drug epidemic is scary
Loosen the constraints a little. I think that lying little madams constraints haven’t been tight enough. Her mother is in complete denial. After raising 4 children I never believe a thing they said. If I suspected anything was going on. I was on the hunt for the truth even if it wasn’t what I wanted to find out. Better feeling let down then losing a child to drugs or anything else that lurk in the shadows that prays on teenagers. I know this because I lost a sister to drugs and I’m not talking about weed that’s nothing compared to what’s out there. In fact it should be legalised so young people don’t come into contact with the scum that reels them in to get pot and end up on the hard stuff.
this movie was so good it made me cry
I must say this movie had it's Highs and low.
As a parent as much as we love our children dearly we need to make spot check at their school know the friend they hang with ,despite knowing all of this we must also recognize we made the children not their mind,we have a major challenge to raise them May God be with us as we strive to do our job and give us the courage we really need .
Parent please if you ever recognize sign /Symptoms your child is in danger or a friend or family warn u please investigate early in particular if it the experimental stage of adolescence. LOVE U PARENTS ALL MAY THE BLESSING OF ALMIGHTY KEEP GIVING U THE STRENTH TO RAISE YOUR CHILDREN.
I remembered everyone kept saying, Get Honest With Yourself! We Want Your Feelings, Just Talk To Us! I remembered when Susan Boyers was upset/ crying, I think she’s had a lot of things she’s has been struggling with when she’s ran away and her Daddy kidnapped her when he’s took her backto the drug rehabilitation center. It’s took a lot of guts when it’s was night to give her testimony about talk about her past, especially she’s got pregnant 🤰, she’s was scared to tell her parents what’s happened. Her and her boyfriend broke into houses/ stores to pay 💰 for her abortion. I remembered during lunch 🥙 she’s got into a fight with one of the other girls. She’s ran away, from the drug rehabilitation center because she’s couldn’t take it anymore. I know that’s Susan’s sister Kelly really loves her. Jennydebrier
Parents: I can't stand you! You destroyed my life!
Druggie: I love you Dad.
The mother got on my nerves the whole movie! Be a damn parent and don't always think your little angels are not going to get into trouble. Realize she's doing something wrong and make her learn while she's young that there are consequences for your mistakes.
She wasn't in denial the whole movie .. This movie is a true and very accurate account of what a lot of teen addict's parent's go through.. The Mom eventually realized her Daughter was a drug addict like all of the other kid's in the rehab and her friend's she partied and got in trouble with ..
Damn, now this is a drug treatment program we need for today.
Too much mollycoddling the kids these days.
@@MooseCallExactly and too many people on here compare the VERY TAME tactics in this movie to the mentally and physical abuse of Synanon and similar places..
Watched part of this in health class at 15.
I remembered when Susan Boyers parents left at the drug rehabilitation center especially when she’s meet Wendy and Jean, they said Hi Susan! We’re Druggys Too especially when she’s tried to run, they blocked the door 🚪 especially when she’s said,I’ll Run, I Hate You! especially they had to restrain her. I love it 🥰 especially when she’s said, I’m Coming Home 🏡 especially seeing her happy especially when she’s hugs her parents especially her Daddy. I’m glad that during group meetings when she’s crying talks about what been going on in her life. Jennydebrier
The counselor in the treatment program was ahead of his time. We can recover especially if around a community of supportive people who have the same disease addiction
The blonde girl who is holding Susan down on the chair when she first enters the drug center is the woman who does the voice of Bart Simpson!! How crazy is that!!!
I remembered when Susan Boyers Daddy’s took her to the drug rehabilitation center especially when she’s said, she’s scared especially when she said she doesn’t want her past at all. WE WANT YOUR FEELINGS! TALK IS CHEAP! I remembered when one of the staff told her than you take one step at a time because each staff is a scary one. Jennydebrier
DON’T COMPLAIN!
We Love You Susan! I’m glad that one of the girls sticks up for her especially since one of the other girls was giving her a hard time! I’m glad that Susan Boyers finally got to go home, especially when she’s hugs her family especially her sister. Jennydebrier
Stockard Channings, she’s was a really wonderful Mother, she’s no problem saying and doing what’s she’s had to say/ do. She’s really loves her daughter, Susan Boyers when they talk during weekly meetings. Jennydebrier
Nancy Cartwright, the voice of Bart Simpson! :-)
I loved when Susan Boyers said, I’m Coming Home! I loved seeing her parents, especially her Daddy, she’s had a lot of feelings going on when she’s was crying, she tried please her Daddy when she’s was on drugs, it’s made things worse. I’m glad that one of the girls in group sticks up for her especially since she’s know she’s doing her best. Jennydebrier
The opening scene: "Make up your mind dude, is he gonna shit or is he gonna kill us?" "First he gonna shit, then he gonna kill us!"
So Hollywood!! You actually think a student can stop going to school for a month ,With out the parents finding out !! NOOOOO
Nah. It's not impossible. I ditched school for almost month. I'd show up everyday to see my friends and see who wanted to ditch, I would call in sick, impersonating my mom, telling the office that "my daughter was ill/had an appointment blah blah blah blah blah, and take off. I would show up for tests, which I always passed, and I'd leave again. I finally got caught when one of my teachers saw me at a pool hall. Funny thing was, I never drank or did drugs, I just hated school, hated home. I was restless and wanted out of both.
I remembered when Susan Boyers had to give her testimony on Saturday night when her family and other people were there, she’s was really upset/ scared when she’s talking about her past, especially when she’s got pregnant 🤰 and had to have a abortion, she’s was scared to tell her parents when she’s and her boyfriend broke into stores 🏬 like 7-11/ United Dairy 🥛 Farm and other people’s homes. I remembered when everyone kept telling her, that’s we 😍, Susan! I’m glad that her family especially her sister really loves her. I know she’s missing about hanging out together with her.

The program depicted in this movie is based upon Synanon, a dangerous and violent cult. While I can understand a parents frustration with their kid's drug use, NEVER put them into a rehab program like this!
NAW not identical this program wasn't abusive like Synanon was to the point of torturing the kid's mentally and physically.. A couple of teen's died because of Synanon type treatment camp's. The only similarities are they encouraged the other addict's to call other's out on their BS their parent's were buying for too long .. Nothing that was done here "verbally" in this movie would cause someone's death.. Actress Mila ? from That 70s Show was in a movie about a Rehab Camp similar to Synanon.. The kid's were put into a circle and other teen's yelled at them bullied them it was brutal .. This rehab was tame in comparison Addict's of every age are great con artist's they spout off their usual BS and in this type of program they're called out on it by their peer's whether teen's or adult's that's not abusive ..
I’m glad that Susan Boyers finally starts talking responsibility for her behavior especially when it’s was her night give her testimony about what drugs have done to her life, especially when the staff asked her how long she’s been doing drugs, when she’s said A Druggy. Jennydebrier

it is its a lifetime movie

What so many people nowadays cannot handle is the part in the beginning where those kids are keeping their hands up as he counts down ages that they got started doing drugs. NO PARENT..

Ok, now that I'm about a half hour into the movie, I've got a new interpretation. This movie gives off the message, your parents may have fucked you up, but fuck you, you're a monster for doing drugs!

BAHAHAHAHA!
Your comment was reckless manslaughter because it killed me!
Awesome, thanks!!
These old movies were the best! Thank u
Funny, they don't mention the real gateway drug, alcohol. Stockard Channing, I remember seeing her on Broadway. Great actress. Good movie. They should play this movie in schools. All is relevant. Now we worry about opioids. My parents would tell me, "If you keep it green, you keep it clean." Peace.
51:21 Nancy Cartwright, who plays Bart Simpson. What a surprise. 😲
I love it 🥰 especially Stockard Channing’s was a wonderful Mom, Helen to Susan Boyers. Jennydebrier 😊
George Segal is my favorite.."She's a Pink Lady on Mondays,remember?" May I remind her Rizzo is a Pink Lady forever...
She was playing a high school student in Grease 7 years before this role. Wherein she's the mother of a high school student. Aaaaah, the 70s... When every teenager in every movie or TV show was played by someone in their early 30s!
Stockard Channing. 😊
Hats off to the casting director: Kathleen WIlhoite, Josh Hamilton, Nancy Cartwright, Tate Donavan, Shawnee Smith...

"She's a real garbagehead!" Wow! Real positive reinforcement there!

1:22:16 is how I imagine my Mom was in a “Parent Rap”. I was in the facility that this movie was based on. Straight Inc. Atlanta
Held against my will for over 600 days, and it was NOT therapy, it was mental cruelty.
Thank you for speaking up in the midst of all these weird cultists that worship this pseudoscientific garbage. This movie was a propaganda/ marketing piece for straight inc. that they didn’t even have to pay to make.
I was in a facility that borrowed their pseudoscience in equal measures from Synanon and the seed…
They showed us this movie until we all wanted to puke.
Forcing confessions out of teenage girls is not therapeutic.
Most of those kids in those programs didn’t do half of what they admitted in those groups.
I'm so sorry you were put through that by the people who were supposed to care for you. Abusing kids and calling it "help" is truly evil.
Drugs were not really around when I went to school. Pot would have been the worse but I only witnessed that once and there was no pressure put on anyone.
It’s scary what’s around now.
