2- They didnt make me feel, like, comfortable.
They were getting on my nerves. Right before I
quit I told this one girl, Im so tired of you!
I dont even have to put up with you. Ive never
had this much supervision anywhere. It was
payday and I was getting my check and I go, I
quit! The supervisor goes, Well, I can talk to
her, and I was like, No, I dont want it! I
quit! - Youth with ED, Todis et al., 2001
