For the teenagers!

Hi Iain,

It must be real hard if you are used to be being out and can’t go now. We don’t go out much anyway cept for the T or specialist drs and sometimes shopping. But we don’t like going out, most of us anyway. Lately we have been having problems with getting scared so we don’t wanna go out even less. Someone here in the teens is getting memories of bad stuff

I’m 12 but live with the teens cos I was a lot older than the littles that we had. So I’m not actually a teen but is that ok? To write here? I’m not a baby and I don’t wanna talk about baby stuff the littles area.

Hi Rose,

You can write here if you're 12. That's ok. I mean you're a teen if you're interested in teen things. I'm kind of a 'young' teen. That mean's I'm not interested in some stuff the others talk about - dating stuff. You know.

Sorry somebody in your crew is having a bad time. Hope they're better soon.

Iain

Hi Iain,
Thanks for saying it’s ok if I write here. I don’t feel like I belong with the littles, even though I’m stuck at 12. I wish I was 13. It sounds better.

One of the teens keeps seeing pictures that make her feel scared. We didn’t know why we were feeling scared before, we just felt scared without knowing why. Now we know Nic is having a hard time with seeing stuff and some of it is gross. It helps to know why but we don’t know what to do for her. Our T is away at the moment and he is the best one to help her. He’ll be back next week so that will be good for her.

What have you been doing, stuck at home? It must be hard having the host travelling for work. Do you get scared when you find yourself somewhere new?

-Rose

Hi Rose,

Hope your T gets back soon and can help Nic. It's no fun seeing gross stuff in your head.

While we're stuck at home we've been doing stuff like learning to cook and Colin has built some cool stuff in the workshop. We spend a lot of time in the backyard and get to play with the neighbor's dog sometimes. Just stuff to do when Host is not working.

Traveling was ok. We learned to bring toys and stuff for the Littles to have in our hotel room. I like navigating and figuring out the rides. Colin does security. We're a team. It was kind of scary but also really cool to see new places. We'd go to museums if we had time.

Iain

Hi Rose - Cool name.

Cody

Hi everybody (*waves*)

Thanks for writing to us, Iain. It must be weird not having to travel if that is what you are used to. You must see a lot of the country if you travel.

We don’t go out much, even before the virus. We just like to be home, we don’t feel safe when we go out.

How is the learning to cook going? Some here love to cook. I used to like it when they cooked here, but they don’t make sweet stuff much anymore which sux. I don’t care much for healthy meals.

Hi Cody, how are you going?

Rachel

Hi Rachel,

I'm having trouble getting out much. Too much stress on the system right now. Kind of sucks. Thanks for asking. How are you guys?

Cody

Hi Cody,

Sorry you aren’t getting much time out and things are stressful. Is that coz of having to stay home at the moment? I hope things get better for you all.

We are having the same issue at the moment with not getting much time out here. I haven’t had time out here for a while, coz Nic keeps getting what she calls ‘pictures’ and she often finds herself out here at the moment. Kinda sux, and it’s making things real difficult, coz she seems to be easily triggered as well. Just stupid $#%^ we see on tv, we watch something then Nic is suddenly out here, scared. Dunno if that is normal (*shrugs shoulders*) but it’s what is happening for us at the moment.

Sorry, waffled on a bit there!

Rachel

Hi Rachel, Rose, Iain, Cody and everyone.

We have a bad headache, maybe from the air being so bad here right now. Blah.

And we don't like being stuck at home either. We maybe drive somewhere once every two weeks, but just for boring things.

We can do dance classes on Zoom, and other classes, too, so that helps. And we go for long walks outside sometimes.

Devin

Cody!!!!
Hi from me!! I hope you get to be out more and cook again. I thought that was going well, so I'm sorry you're not getting out to do it. We made a pie yesterday--the littles were really happy about that.

Hi Sasha!!

I think about you a lot.

I'm pretty bummed. It's hard getting out enough to cook any interesting stuff. Our system is SO NOT used to me being out - except for 'milkshakes' - so nobody knows how to do it other times. I don't think they're mean - just ######6 clueless. I mean I really need to take over a lot to cook and that makes Host totally nervous. He told our T he 'doesn't like being a girl'. That's stupid. He's not a girl - I AM. I can't help how it feels when he comes back into the body that I just left. I didn't mess it up - I just girled it up.

Cody

Hi Iain, Cody, Sasha, Devin and anyone else (*waves*)

Lol Cody, I was drinking something when I read about you ‘just girled it up’ (the body) and let’s just say I shouldn’t have had a mouthful when I read it!

Sorry you had a headache Devin. Hope it has gone now. Why is the air bad? Sorry we live in Aus and we don’t watch the news or anything so I don’t know what is going on there.

What sort of pie did you all make, Sasha? I hope it was a sweet pie, like...apricot. Yum!

Now I’m hungry...

Have a great day, everyone!
