430. Coral Reef Academy

Coral Reef Academy is one of the holding places parents can choose when they are afraid that their child can walk from the facility once the child turns 18 as it is the case in most states in the United States but in Samoa the age of adulthood is set to 21 and the government don’t care about the welfare of the teenagers abroad who struggle with survival in a foreign country.

Corel Reef Academy is in the public most known for having robbed Earl Sweatshirt of his talent creating lyrics young teenagers would love to hear. He was a successful entertainer having visited several countries before his mother removed him from the entertainment industry for a period for more than a year.

When he returned his band had moved on. Several of them are now closely connected so people like Justin Bieber providing him with ideas for new albums while poor Earl Sweatshirt settles with some tweets.

Due to being a place where ambitions and progress can be lost, it is safe to say that it cannot be fun to be there as a teenager (and as young adults).
