There are ten-to-eleven kids here. Ten-to-eleven because one of us changes in age to sometimes be a teenager and sometimes be an adult. All of us can read and write though one of us is still learning a little bit. Some of us younger ones spell phonetically. Please bear with them. There will be more about us here when we have time.
Andrea- Hiya! You can call me "Andie"!
My age changes so that sometimes I am 16, sometimes I am 17, sometimes I am 18, and sometimes I am even 19. Today I am 16. My story isn't safe for kids so you can read it in the adult page.
I like chocolate and pandas, the colors purple and turquoise, and I like coffee drinks. I also like to draw.
Dana- What's up? I'm a guy and I'm fifteen and sixteen. I was sleeping a long time, for eleven years! I first got here to help Andie out who was helping Leigh out when her boyfriend was hurting her. It is never o.k. for people to hit each other! It doesn't make people cool to beat up on each other. When that guy was gone I went to sleep and I woke up recently to help everyone here have some fun, especially Leigh. She needs more fun in her life. I'm kind of loud and obnoxious sometimes but it's all in good FUN. I like the Atlanta Braves. We used to have one of those foam tomahawks but I have no idea what happened to it. I like dark colors the most. I like That 70's Show. That's a good show.
Natasha- Hey I'm Tasha. I'm 13. I came because people were beating up and harassing our core all day everyday for a long time and she couldn't take it anymore. She was 13 too. So I came here and took over living for a little bit. When she was ready to deal with things I went inside and went to sleep and then woke up again not too long ago. I was scared 'cause I was in the dark place that other people here have woken up in. I was very angry when they found me crying 'cause I didn't know who they were or what was going on. Our core got me to calm down but I didn't know what to tell her my name was so I lied.
I shouldn't have but I was really nervous. She knew I was lying and then I told her my real name. Then she took me to our inside home and it was light and comfortable and nice and warm. Well I don't know what I'm supposed to do here but she says maybe I'm just supposed to be a kid. I like goth stuff and skulls and bats and dragons. I like to read fantasy books.
Libby & Maggie- (M)Hi hi! We're twins and we're twelve and girls. We don't look a like and we don't act a like but we're twins because we got here at the same time for the same reason. (L)Leigh tried to tell a teacher we were being hurt and instead of helping her the teacher embarrassed her in front of a whole lot of students. Then she called her mom and told her what had happened. Leigh hid in the school bathroom after school but her mom found her and hurt her at home. So we came to keep her safe. (M)I was at front the most. Some friends called me by my name and a teacher and a doctor, but most people wouldn't and another doctor said I was crazy. But the good doctor said I should be called whatever I wanted to and that I was perfectly OK. I told him I got here with this name and don't want to be called someone else name. People are really thoughtless. Well I like purple and roses and turtles and anything that reminds me of our grandmother because I miss her lots and lots. (L)I like purple too but also blue and gold. I like to do Mad Libs. I like those old fashioned candy canes you can get at Cracker Barrel, especially the watermelon ones. I think Weird Al is very funny. I also like koala bears.
Emmaline- My name is Emmaline but I like to be called "Emma". And I am 11. To be safe I can't say how I got here except that someone very close to our core touched our body and hurt it how they shouldn't have. Some times I think this is our fault. Leigh says it isn't and we were kids and big people know better and they was wrong. Some times I come to the front and it feels like it is happening again and some times I even see that person there and it feels and looks very real to me. I have very weird moods that change very fast. I don't know how to stop that from happening and I wish I could. I don't like to eat and if I could make food against the law I would. I think may be we would be safe if we were so small no one could see us and that can happen if we didn't eat. Leigh says this is silly because we are in a grown body now and that person won't want a grown body. But I am still a child. They might want me.
Qwentin- I'm Qwentin and I am 7 or may be 8. I can not talk but I can hear and I can write and I can use sign language. I am here for same reason as Emma but a different time that it happen. Oh I am a boy. I like Pooh Bear. I have a small Pooh Bear that is bought for me by Leigh. He is my bear friend. I like colors blue, red, brown, white, green. I like trout, worms, ducks, dragons and to chase ducks. I like to listen to Billy Joel music. My favorite it is called Only The Good Die Young.
