Vanity Fair - Article on Troubled Teen Boy's Academy or School, Name of School?

March 9, 2010 - 9:27 am
  • An Article appeared in Vanity Fair a few years ago on some sort of a boy's school for troubled teens. I believe that it was for older teens. My memory tells me that it was not directed towards severly troubled teens but more towards teen boys who were in with the wrong crowds socially doing drugs and about to fall over the edge. Can you find the name of this school and/or refer me to the specific Vanity Fair Issue? This may be harder than you think. Thanx for any help.


  • Schmooz, I can't resist explaining to you that story with the "failure = Bush". It has nothing to do with Google the company, and you shouldn't address your question to them. The Google search engine works in a certain way, in which links to a certain site are calculated to see how "important" it is. Some people, regular Internet users like you and me, have (ab)used this thing: they discovered, that if enough sites link a certain term to a certain site, a search for this certain term would bring up that site, even if this search term doesn't appear on that site and has nothing to do with it. They link mostly from blogs, because it is pretty easy medium to exploit for that mean. If you link the term "great Research" many times to the site "Google Answers" (http://answers.google.com), from many powerful sites, it might appear as the first result for the search for the term "great Research". [maybe we should start such a campaign...]. This phenomenon is called "Google Bombing" (they "bomb" Google with this linkage) - you can read more about it on Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_bomb


  • Hi Rainbow - I found that one, in fact - I spoke to the man who actually went there to live for a while - while he wrote about it. There was another all-boy/teen school. I really tried to find it but all I could locate was the one you found.


  • Although a co-ed school, could you perhaps be thinking of the Academy at Swift River? See here: http://www.davemarcus.com/content.php?sub=pressmenu.txt&page=press.txt Academy at Swift River http://www.swiftriver.com/ Looking forward to hearing your views. Best regards, Rainbow


  • Ah, the reason I cannot answer the original question: look at Google Answers TOS - you cannot ask questions about Google or its services, and we are not allowed to answer questions addressed to the editors.
