I'm kinda on risk for being put into one, so I kinda wanted to learn some stuff about how is it inside those. I think my biggest fear there is boredoom. Like, will I be able to videocall friends and/or listen to music there? Will my mp3 player/portable chinese retro emulator/phone/any eletronic be confiscated there?

Not bad. Strict schedule. Sleeping sort of sucks because people are always checking in on you.

Getting forced to have a room mate because they can’t be trusted by themselves isn’t great either.

When all of the other older kids are gone and the nurses trust you, they let you handle some of the data entry, or they let you play with the really young kids. It’s sad to see 5 year olds with depression.

    Five year olds? Well, I once met a depressed 10 year old, but 5 year olds?

    When I was a teacher in South Korea, I had a 5 year old student hospitalized for anxiety. It was fairly common by high school ages.
