True Experience Webcomic about the Elan School Cult

First off, here is a link to the comic: [elan.school]

It gives tremendous insight and first-hand experience into the initial shock of being forced into a cult. This is (based on) my story and it has taken a lot of years for me to process this. But I am finally ready.

The Elan School was one of the many "troubled teen" cults that misled parents, school districts, and court systems into sending them children. In a "Lord of the Flies" style system, the children were encouraged to self-govern and it was the job of the older residents to persuade the newer residents into "getting with the program". Types of "persuasion" included physical beatings in a ritual called "The Ring", month-long stints in a isolation chamber called "The Corner", and a sick ritual called a "General Meeting" where the entire population would publicly verbally humiliate one student for up to an hour.

Elan was one of the many spin-offs of the Synanon Cult:
