Dear Teen Monster,

Just last week I was created (I know right? Such a noobie) and already, my creator abandoned me! She took one look at me and ran for it. I tried following her but when I found her again she screamed at me and left again. Now I fear she's gone for good. I tried communicating with some neighbors too, but all they did was call me hideous and chase me out of town. Now I have no idea how to survive in this world.

I'm feeling quite down and scared that I'll never have someone to call a friend. Do you have any advice for someone who's been abandoned by pretty much everyone?

Sincerely,

Gloomy in Geneva

Hi Gloomy,

I know exactly how you feel! As a fellow monster, I too was abandoned at a young age. The first thing that you should do is find firewood, shelter and something to eat. That will keep you alive as you start your life alone. Make sure that the shelter is dry and warm. During this time, it is important that you learn as much as you can. Make sure to try new things. It's all about learning from experience! If possible, find a nice family to observe. By wathing how they live their daily lives, you too will learn how to survive. I know that in my own experinces, I have found that the blind tend to be less judgemental towards creations like us, so try to befriend them if you see fit. Hope things get better for you! Its a hard world, so hang in there!
