I Survived Prep School - Christopher A Young

It's been 60 years or so since I attended Mount House. This is a tale of survival. In spite of the abuse received at Mount House, I went on to "do well" as that phrase is understood by most people. I've done my best to ensure that every detail is true, and I do maintain that my experiences there match this account. The painful memories have stayed with me for my entire life. I will not pretend that everyone who went there had the same experiences as I did, however that does not excuse the treatment that I had, or the lack of supervision over the students. I had a Headmaster who was ill-equipped to deal with children, and children should not have been placed under his care. Specific actions and systems were designed to intimidate and control us, rather than use kindness, he used force and humiliation.
