2081, we don't need no education!

Hazel says, "Look, Mom, I grew boobs!"

Let's see who all grew up for this school year...

Junior High (sixth grade, age 12)

Hazel Monif is starting the sixth grade at Lakeside Heights Junior High School. She's eager to start dating, much to her parents' dismay. She still loves games as much as she did when she was a kid, but she's also eager to discover all the games she can play with the opposite sex. Little Miss Sass doesn't plan on being any less sassy now that she's a teenager, and has plenty of friends, but her best friend in the whole world is still her mommy.

Popularity
LTW: 20 1st dates
(straight)
+ charismatic, blond (oh sheesh! this is going to cause trouble for poor Liza next year, I think! a junior high school love triangle? lol!)
- fatness

Natalia Deppiesse is also starting the sixth grade at Lakeside Heights Junior High. She is curious about pretty much everything, and likes to spend many hours sitting out by the lake and pondering the wonders of the universe. Natalia a very high-achieving little girl, and already thinking about college, and what it will take to get in. She thinks applying for the honors program might be a good idea - she'll have her dad call out the headmaster for an interview.

Knowledge
LTW: graduate 2 kids
(straight)
+ logical, facial hair
- niceness (lol, you would think she had daddy issues or something!)

This boy is Charlie Roseland - you don't know him yet, and really, none of my Sims do yet either. He is the son of Cyd and Audrey Roseland (Cyd is Maxis, Audrey is CAS and works at Dr. Monif's office), and they are one of my "non-playable families." They will remain a non-playable family, but I'll just say that based on his aspiration/zodiac/turn-ons, you're bound to meet him eventually... so, Charlie is a "new kid" this year and you might see him around.


Early Elementary (pre-K, age 4)

Bianca Lind is turning four this year, and starting preschool in Lakeside Heights. She's a very sweet girl, but quiet and a little strange - she wears a hat because she doesn't like brushing her hair. She's very smart though, and has a lot to teach her baby sister Julia.

Connor McCullough is also turning four this year and starting preschool in Bluewater Township. He is the youngest of the McCullough children, and just as spritely as the rest of them. He really wants his big brother Robbie to like him. But don't be fooled, he's not really anything like his easy-going big brother, but more finicky and difficult like his big sister Fiona.

Elliot Miller is turning four this year, and starting school in Lake City. He's a bold little boy, but kind-hearted and focused - we have no idea how he ended up so serious, having such goof-balls for parents as he has! He is looking forward to being a big brother this fall. Wow, he thinks he can hear something in there!

Shaun Hathe will also start preschool in Bluewater Township this year. He had kind of a crappy birthday, but he's forgotten about that by now. He hates it when his mom asks him to help out with the shelter animals, but he loves to fish. He really wishes he could tell Liza an inside joke, but they don't really have any yet, so for now, he'll just tell her a regular joke.
