Tag, You're It: Utah
He was sent to a camp for confused children when he was younger and was stalked by someone else there. Then the person attacked him and Utah tried to run but he was too slow. Utah then was held captive but he managed to escape and make it back to camp. https://youtu.be/RLYlMq6MU2s
Lunch Box Friends: California
When he was younger most of his friends were fake and only used him for gold or their own personal gain. This still happens during meetings. People will only defend him when it benefits them. He wants friends he can actually trust.

Cry Baby: Rhode Island
He won't let anyone see bullying him works but he'll cry when he gets too upset and some of the other states make fun of him for it and call him a baby for his size and tears.

Orange Juice: Indiana
He hates the way he looks and will make himself throw up anything he eats to try and look better. He will only eat alone and only eats a bit.

Strawberry Shortcake: Utah
His parents always made his look a certain way. On top of that he was taken advantage of multiple times at home and at the camp in multiple ways cause of his appearance.

Soap: California
He has always been told to be quiet and he's annoying. He's been told that him constantly talking is why people can't stand him. This usually happens when he's talking about stuff he enjoys. It's why he's afraid to talk about himself or something he likes cause he wants people to stay.

Pity Party: California
California has only had one birthday party. When he was younger and none of his "friends" showed up and his parents didn't remember either. At least he had Coco give him a bookmark and it's California's most treasured thing.

Dollhouse: Northeastern Brothers
They all grew up in their dysfunctional family. Massachusetts was always beaten, most of the time without reason. Connecticut was the golden child and wasn't allowed to fail or was beaten. New York was always helping his brothers or hiding from their father. Their father was an alcoholic and their mom passed. Their father made them look like the perfect family out in public.

Mad Hatter: Colorado
He gets high to escape from his problems and he feels transported to a different world that makes him feel more in control. And he grew reliant on weed and then kept thinking he needed more. And that he was best in this state.

Drama Club: Massachusetts
Was forced to be perfect for his father. He had to do everything his father said and act as his father instructed. But in the end Mass couldn't handle it and ended up aggressively embracing who he truly was and anytime someone didn't like it he said "Fack you than." https://youtu.be/3DTOwbYHc-0
