Paris Hilton says her parents sent her away to schools for troubled teens because they didn't want their reputation ruined. She spent 11 months in one of them, and her mother says, "We were trying to save Paris." In the video below, Paris describes begging her parents to let her come home. "I promise I'll never go to a club again." She couldn't convince them, and the last school was Provo Canyon School in Utah, "the worst of the worst." She recalls being given pills without knowing what they were and being put in solitary confinement. Her parents in New York didn't know, and she hated them. While she was there, Paris says, she decided to become "so successful that my parents could never control me again." She kept quiet about the school for 20 years, until her documentary This Is Paris came out. Her mother watched it holding Paris's hand for an hour, and afterwards fell into a depression. But her mother explains that Paris was sneaking out, sometimes for three days at a time, and skipping school. Her parents didn't know what to do: "Should we move to the moon?" Paris has campaigned against these schools for years. This summer Utah revoked the licenses of both Provo Canyon School campuses. Were Paris's parents trying to save their daughter, or their reputation?
