[Adults only]

[xp_jubilee]

So, did I miss something? Have teenager vs adult lines been drawn?

I'm pretty sure the Prof. is doing his 'letting people do their thing' non-interference thing he does but seriously.

When I came here I was one of the worst, most horrible brats you've ever encountered. If it weren't for the adults and a whole mess of help and forgiveness I'd be dead.

We don't gotta be all lovey but like, having kids feel like they're ignored or not wanted is a total power keg of bad decisions waiting to happen.

We gotta find a way to live here and with them without goin' mad, right?

Anyone got any thoughts?

As I am currently in England at the moment and have been busy these past few weeks, I did not really notice it until know.

It does seem that some adults don't want to be the whole mentor thing. However, that seems to be impossible given the circumstances.

Kids will look up to adults even if the adults don't want them too. Sorry, that comes with the territory of living so close together. Also, these kids are mostly likely struggling on their own and to feel like they are unwanted is probably worse.

If Adults want to do their own thing, good for them they should. But don't make the kids feel unwanted, that could only led to bad things. I should know, I had a mother who didn't give two shits about me and I ran away.

Kids ARE unwanted by some of us and pretending otherwise is unfair to all involved. You want to be a mentor feel free. I want to be left alone. And no one is going to force me to do otherwise. Especially you.

Only a crazy person would make you do something that you didn't want.

On a bright side, I like being one of the lucky one to have won you over.

Damn straight.

You also ruined me for any other teenagers. Hope you like THAT. ;)
