Let me try to help you from the best of my capability. When you see the AWAY button you're supposed to press the A or B button to go to work.. Or Maybe you should wait until Nazotchi [
] sends you 2 pieces of mail that looks like this [!], the first piece of mail you will seen your teenager graduate from the Nanny, and then the 2nd piece of mail you will get to choose your teacher. Press the A button to scroll through teachers, and press the B button to select your teacher.
Mr. Turtle = Pencil Icon (Intelligence points)
Ms. Sunflower = Star Icon (Arts/Fashion points)
Mr. Canvas = Flower Icon (Social/Kindess points)
A teenager does not work, they go to school, and when you go there you should see 3 presents, 2 contains poop, and 1 contains the Icon, if you get the icon you will obtain 3 points in the desired icon, if you get poop, your tamagotchi earns no skill points (Press the A button to move, and the B button to select). You can only earn points from school about 10 times a day, if you continue to go your tamagotchi will earn no more skill points that day.
Does that help you?
