Thank you Chris. As Keeler from Chicago Illinois says I think that most shy people are young children. They're especially afraid to speak to their elders because they think the older ones will laugh at them. Jennifer thanks now from Philadelphia Pennsylvania.

why people think that. I guess can you think of that. I don't want to go to new places. If I ever gone to school which I haven't you can't and I don't know how to act or kids like me and so you show yourself to be what you are like actually think I'm shy. John my whole like you think you're down and so when I go to school I sort of have a reputation but then you might have to act the way they sink. When I first came they didn't really know how I would actually want a natural prick

Come. On. My name is Andy Schmitz and I live in Middleton Wisconsin with my sister and my mother and my father who lives in Buffalo. My mother my father was separated. Ever since I was six years old. Separation is when my father and mother are not living together.

Maybe both of you could do it and be more fun. After a year I started to get used to living without my father. Every kid has an instinct to get used to things and slowly I start accepting responsibility because my mother had to work and I've had to learn to help myself. I think I'm going to have to stay quite late tonight because I have a dinner meeting. So what do you suppose that you guys can maybe make yourselves dinner. There's some frozen hamburgers. But don't forget you have so much to both. You know like a salad or something good for you. Well you kids clear up the dishes. I'm going to have to get going. I'll do the plates with everything else. Don't fight. I want. To. We are more than handy.

Right. John is a friend of mine. He's kind of special. Because first of all he's older than myself and it's it's nice having somebody that you could talk to that maybe understands your problems a little better with age and he is important to me really. Because since the separation I needed a friend. I got to know John through a friend of my mother's. I said to myself you know I don't need him but then I realized that without him I'd be so many empty spaces. And I started to depend on him there. He gives me a feeling that I have a friend. You know I didn't get along with your mom. You get

along OK with her. Each year long better and better. Yeah but you know there's just so many things that you can talk to a mother about so many things that you can't you know. That's true. You know we're battling of course you know. She says she's still not a queen. Teach me as a child you know. And if I had a brother or sister two years younger I'd shoot her like a child. Remember when I was growing up I have two older sisters. And. They used to pick on me and tease me and tell me ghost stories. You know we get along really well. There's something really special about sisters our brother your battle with them when you're growing up. More so than anybody else it seems. In the long run they turn out to be your best friend and good friends anyway. Appreciate that.

The tournament is just going to be people dancing and sword fighting sword fight the swords are real they're make believe. What is the society that you're in the I don't understand. It's called Sorry for Creative Anachronism. What it is it's a whole bunch of people who are interested in the religious right. I go out sometimes and they. Dress up in the religious. Home. Just because it is one of my own private world that I can move into as I like you know like a fantasyland. Child you know. That was just killed.
