Did the statments below happen in Stranger Things - or do they happen in real life psych wards?

Children being held and then forcibly sedated

Children being brought to facilitys while nobody tells them why

Children being held captive in abusive facilitys

Children being restrained to beds

Children having to sleep in white rooms with no furniture or toys or contact to the outer world

Correct! All of those things happened to Eleven or the other kids in Stranger Things and to me and my friends in real life psych wards. If dystopian worlds hit close to home, you know the system needs to change.

"This version of authoritarian overreach really sucks, because I was promised that in an authoritarian regime we would all be split up into really cool little factions based on our personalities and that then we would fall in love with someone outside of our faction and then realize that we can't be defined by our factions and we would run away together--um, and none of that is happening it's just military going into cities."

We are the generation which practically grew up reading and watching dystopians with nasty governments. You can’t blame us if we have it in ourselves to bring about a change.

“But if you were Matched," I say softly, "What do you think she'd be like?" "You," he says, almost before I've finished. "You.”

I love dystopians because they can be written in multiple different ways!
