My DG Series 8, Ep11 - Tyler Replies

70 Comments

This is Tyler and this is my take on what happened in the DG this week.

Do you think I was right to ignore May-Li’s rules?

Thank you for your comments. Read some of my replies below.

Ava18: Dear Tyler, You and Jody are the greatest couple in the world! You two wouldnt let anything keep you apart unless you both decide its best if you are apart - but im holding that never happens. Although, I think you should go back to Ashdene Ridge, you both have made great friends there and you cant just let them go. Ava Tyler replies: I hope that never happens either, Ava18. We\u2019ve been through so much. Yes, it\u2019s scary not knowing what\u2019s going to happen next, but we know what we want and we\u2019ll be ok. I\u2019m pretty sure of it. I just can\u2019t believe it\u2019s come to this. Who makes up these rules?! If we go back to Ashdene Ridge, May-Li will force us apart. I will really miss everyone there, but as long as I\u2019ve got Jody, that\u2019s the most important thing.
U18141796: dear Tyler You could've respected them but you didn't and maybe you did the right thing who knows just remember to just be careful because last time Jody ran away she ended up on the streets. You and Jody were meant for each other and you were fighting for love, but you should go back to the DG eventually. MaisieS Tyler replies: I know what Jody went through last time and I wont let that happen again. Or at least, I\u2019ll do everything I can to avoid it. We\u2019re older now and we\u2019re together, we\u2019ve got this. Why would we go back to The DG? There\u2019s just drama and rules waiting for us there.
U18130162: Dear Tyler, Jyler is the most important couple IN THE WORLD! There should be nothing keeping you apart. I don't get the rule. You had every right to ignore May-Li. Just don't tell her I said that. Good luck and stay with Jody. Tell her that I wish her good luck when she comes across her mum! Abi Tyler replies: Well said, U18130162. I think we\u2019re the most important couple in the world too. Even bigger than... I don\u2019t know, Harry and Meghan or... Ron and Hermione. The real deal. I wont tell May-Li, don\u2019t worry.
U17700687: Tyler, You were right and wrong to ignore May-Li. You and Jody are the perfect match for each other, but you really shouldn't have ran away with her. I think you should move to Saint Lucia with your mum, because that's what you've wanted to do all your life. It's a chance to live happily ever after with your mum and stepdad. Jody will probably come and visit you and if not you can visit Jody. You need to stop listening to everyone else and listen to YOUR heart and what YOU want to do! @U17700687-BPUnicornLover-#EcoWarrior-Fighting to save the planet! Tyler replies: Hi U17700687. I thought living with my mum was all I wanted too, but things are different now. Jody and me, we\u2019re the real thing. And I want us to be together more than anything. I just don\u2019t know how we can do that without running away.
TheWackyWeirdo: Tyler, I can see why you did what you did, and if I was in that situation I would have done something similar. However, I think you should've thought it through a bit more instead of running away from your problems. If you had stayed put, the chances of you and Jody staying together probably would have been higher than if you ran away and got into trouble with May-Li and Scott. No action is 100% right or 100% wrong. Tyler replies: I don\u2019t know, TheWackyWeirdo. May-Li seemed pretty certain that we couldn\u2019t stay together. But maybe there was a chance\u2026? I guess it\u2019s too late now. If we go back now, we\u2019re in even bigger trouble.
U18166935: Hello Tyler Even though you didn't respect May-li (which was a right choice) you still need to follow the expected rules. Even if it splits you and Jody up. But that's only during care. Afterwards, you could go back together :-) Tyler replies: It\u2019s a nice thought U18166935. But who knows when we\u2019ll be living independently? It could be years from now. I, for one, am not prepared to be separated from Jody for that long. We\u2019ve been through too much. It\u2019s just silly that the \u2018rules\u2019 say we have to be apart. Why?!
FutureTimeLord1999: Hey Tyler You were right to ignore May-Li's rules because you and Jody belong together But at the same time, don't you want Jody to be safe??? If you truly love Jody do what is right for her and not for yourself!!! Tyler replies: Of course I want Jody to be safe, FutureTimeLord1999. But I also want her to be happy. And being happy means being with me, we both know that. I wouldn\u2019t have been able to keep her safe if we were separated \u2013 at least this way I can look out for her like I\u2019ve always done. I\u2019m the only one who\u2019s always been there for her, right? Kingsley and the rest of them, they\u2019ve just let her down all the time. I\u2019ve promised her I won\u2019t do that. I just hope I can keep that promise.
Book reader dancer: You were 100% right to ignore May-Li's rules. You and Jody weren't causing any harm. Besides, sometimes you have to choose between the rules set out for you and what is truly right. May-Li's rule is only there to keep you safe, but if you show her you can keep safe and be with Jody, then maybe she might allow it. Your happiness and freedom is really important, so remember that. Tyler replies: Thanks for your message, Book reader dancer. You\u2019re right \u2013 we\u2019ve been doing just fine before anyone found out, not causing anyone any harm. I wish it could have stayed a secret to be honest, we could have avoided having to do anything drastic. May-Li wasn\u2019t even giving us a chance to show her that we could be together. I guess she just wants to keep us safe, she\u2019s not a bad person. But splitting us up?! Too far. At least by running away we can concentrate on just being happy.
HallowSistersFan: Some rules need to be broken, you and Jody have a special love and it is not fair you can't be together because of where you live, no matter what happens in your futures you will have each other because you make each other happy. You needed to take action and finally after all these years let everyone know you can't be parted. Tyler replies: Absolutely right, HallowSistersFan! I\u2019ve always followed the rules but this is one rule too far. Jody is everything. She\u2019s been there for me all this time, through the good and the bad. The thought of being parted from her for no reason was too much.
footballguitaristgirl24: Hi Tyler, I think you were right and wrong to ignore may li . This is because you and Jody should be together and you have been friends for such a long time ! I think you were wrong to run away with Jody though because you could get into harm! Thanks for reading ! Please reply ! Molly Tyler replies: Thank you, footballguitaristgirl24 / Molly. What else could we have done, though? It honestly feels like the only option left. It all happened so fast. Maybe there were other options, I just couldn\u2019t see them. I promise I\u2019ll do my best to keep us both safe from harm. I\u2019ve got some ideas about where we can go which will help.
