Oh my god. This place is beomming a high school.

Without a hellmouth. Like actual teenage problems that aren't affected by a hellmouth in some way.

Can't we just get them all shrinks?

~~I am so out of my element here. No idea what to do~~

I see her point ~~because I have to. But doesn't mean I have to like it~~ too. I'm pretty sure all of us have told her that left from right but she doesn't seem to think that powered people should be able to stick up for themselves against people without powers. Frankly, I don't think that makes any sense - at least not in the situation she's been describing - and I also think that it could be dangerous in the future if we even considered telling the girls not to say anything. ~~For one, they'd probably get pissed off, they are teenage girls, for another if~~

I don't think it's safe for them to leave. But I don't know what else to do or say that'll make her understand or happy. Short of, telling the girls never to threaten a human .. and like I said, I just don't feel comfortable doing that. I think they should be careful with their threats, I do. But I don't think they should never do it again.

	I'm a human ~~I think~~ and I just threatened myself. Am I in trouble? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

No. ~~But you get a warning and have to~~ You're not. ~~Since you have super-powers and only~~ ~~Why am I in charge? I can't even be my normal sarcasticy self without worrying she's going to read this and leave in a huff, and actually get herself killed~~

Since we tend to get more pissed off when people actually follow up on the threats than the threats themselves.

And thanks for staying out of most of it. Even though she keeps bringing you up.

	You'd think that I'm still talking to them from the way she keeps bringing me up. But I haven't said a word to any of the Glee kids. And I'm getting really sick of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I don't know. I'm really trying to stay rational and open-minded in this but I'm getting sick and tired of the same old argument. I get she's scared. I do. I was freaked out of my mind when I first ran into the supernatural. ~~And I'd run into the Source of All Evil who was possessing a guy I like. Not nice people trying to he~~ And I'd had family around me and it still didn't make it any easier. ~~Even though, to be honest, we might have well be strangers~~ But once I settled I tried my hardest to learn as much as I can. I'm not saying that I didn't make things difficult for people. But not like this.

I know different people take different times to adapt but ... maybe I should try and be a little more patient.

But you're right. In regards to you? You haven't and she should let that go. I can understand why she might not but I think she's had enough time to calm down.

No, we can't. People with powers, especially teenage girls with powers, not being allowed to stick up for themselves is just...well it's wrong.

I agree. If I thought they were going to carry it out, that would be different. They can't help that they have powers, that doesn't make them less entitled to defend themselves. I guess we'll just have to ask them to be more careful around Quinn and Puck.

We can't tell them on one hand, that they're still regular girls on one hand and then tell them in another situation tell them that they can't stand up for themselves like a regular girl would, because they're different. Taking care of teenagers, powers or not, is hard enough without sending them mixed signals.

I already talked to Needy about that. You can talk to Kendra. I think she'll have a better chance of listening to you than she would to me.

The thing that really sort of annoys me is that. I'm pretty sure that Quinn wouldn't say anything to Brynna and Dawn for threatening Puck because they're human and don't have any powers. ~~The double-standard is just amazing with this kid~~ And one thing I've learned is that humans can cause just as much damage as people with powers.

Especially when you consider the fact that Dawn is your sister.

	There really is no winning situation here. Did Kendra threaten him to? Dawn may be human, but she could easily fend him off. I've seen her hold her own in a fight against demons when it was just the two of us, trapped in a tomb and there was no end to them coming. And she learned it from just watching me.

There isn't. ~~And we're tr~~

I think so? I know he was hitting on her. She took over after Andrea sort of stopped. ~~Which she deserves points for~~ I know I should, but I can't remember every single girl who has threatened Puck. I just know that it was more than just Needy.

Impressive. Very impressive. And I'm not sure what Brynna can do ~~we should probably ask~~ but I wouldn't be surprised with the world she's come from if she could fend him off too.

	I know Brynna has some solid staff training, she's offered to help teach defensive lessons with it for those who aren't really looking to use pointy sharp weapons. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	That's actually really good. ~~This is what we should be taking about, not this infi~~ There's actually something Kitty just mentioned that should be brought up. But I could make a post about Brynna's offer and about Kitty's one with the classes. I think it got lost in all of this ... stuff. (Reply to this) (Parent)
