Is Boarding School A Prison Where You Can't Escape?

I begin today with a heart felt quote from Minnie Driver in her book, Managing Expectations.She talks about phoning her mother to come and pick her up.Her mother ignores her.So today I wanted to read through 10 biographies of well-known people and their stories of feeling like they were captive or “counting down the days like prisoners” as Bear Grylls puts it.I share the words of John Rentoul's biography of Tony Blair where he tells the story of how he tried to run away.I talk about how Clive Woodward, the former England Rugby manager and World Cup winner ran away 3 times from his boarding school only to be sent back each time by his father.Other biographies include: Stephen Fry, John Peel, Roald Dahl, Christine Jack, Jack Whitehall and Jeremy Paxman.What a fascinating subject.#captivity #prison #boardingschoolTake care,Piers---Piers is an author and a men's transformational coach and therapist who works mainly with trauma, boarding school issues, addictions and relationship problems. He also runs online men's groups for ex-boarders, retreats and a podcast called An Evolving Man. He is also the author of How to Survive and Thrive in Challenging Times.
