[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?

What about something during the holidays? It'd be a nice way to foster a sense of connection. Especially since a lot of the students don't have anywhere to go during the holidays.

I could see if Alison and 'Nica want to work on a light show if it's a BBQ and I'm pretty sure we could get Kyle and Wade into grilling things.

That could be really fun around New Years Eve.

I think Thanksgiving at the mansion is traditional. I see the kids were talking about Halloween, too.

Obviously this is contingent on personal interest, though. Adrienne's right. This needs to be a safe place, but if we start drafting the unwilling I don't see that helping either side's opinion of the other.

For some of them this is their first Thanksgiving with us, so it could be a nice first tradition.

Absolutely. People have their understandable reasons for not wanting to interact with the children. But for those who do want to I think we could come up with a few ideas. I know I would've been lost without Moira at Muir, so I feel like its important that they have people they can look up to and trust.
