People who want to be mentors and family members to the kids here, feel free. Good for you.
I, for one, do not. Been there, done that. Done the teacher thing. Been burned too many times, mainly by the vast majority of my students dying. I want nothing to do with these kids and I should feel like I have the option to NOT engage with them, particularly when they're calling me rude in my own journal, if I so choose.
Last I heard, this place was basically a boarding house to keep mutants safe. I signed no contract to be responsible for or mentor teenagers when I moved in here. Forcing adults into positions of authority and responsibility over kids when they don't wish to get close to them is not going to work well for anyone involved.
But if the stipulations of my living here are changing and I'm going to be forced to act like I want kids involved in my life when I don't, bring it on. I've got a penthouse I can go live at instead.
