You don't have an entire argument.

You had a crappy experience. Get over yourself and stop trying to place all the blame for what sucks in your life on the fact that you and your parents chose poorly and never bailed out once it was apparent that it wasn't the right place for you. Maybe if you were a little less recalcitrant -- a character trait you're showing off quite well here -- you'd have salvaged something positive out of your boarding school experience. The fact that it sucked so badly from beginning to end and top to bottom could -- just possibly -- reflect a little bit on you...maybe? no? possibly?

The fact that you can't even bring yourself around to temper any of your sentiments or concede any points, except in the most patently backhanded ways, means you're portraying yourself as a bitter person. There are many people who have come here to make the case that boarding school isn't for everyone. They've done so in compelling form, too. Your only compelling point is that you're really, really angry. And it's just too easy to dismiss you as a madman. I'm more concerned that there's a tall tower on your college campus than I'm concerned that you're going to persuade a single person that you're making a rational point.
