Morgan: Thank you. That really is great to hear.
kaos: for all the people that look up to you, what advice do you have for them?

MadHatter: Do you know brad? If so how do you feel about him being gay?

toymo: What early influences made you realize that you had ADD????
Morgan: My parents noticed it before I noticed it.
morganstheman: Is there anyone who was surprised to hear or see that you were taking medication?
Morgan: I'm sure there were a lot of people surprised to see that I took medication, I used to be afraid to tell people cause I was embarrassed. Morgan: Yes, there were some times the medication would effect who I was. That's what sparked me not wanting to take it. Morgan: Because I felt that I was a false person and I did not like that.
molly: I'm just interested to read what morgan has to say about high school life with ADD... I am a female college grad who's been diagnosed as having ADHD
Morgan: It's kind of hard to have ADD and be in high school because it's hard to read all the books and pay attention in all your classes. Morgan: It was kind of an embarrassing thing to have, especially in high school where people look at you and judge you. It was an embarrassing sort of thing to have. Morgan: But I feel now that I've overcome that embarrassment.
nava: Did you ever stop taking your meds for a while?
Morgan: Honestly, yes. There were a couple of times where I stopped taking my meds for a while. Because I felt they made me a false person.
Billy_M_Tx: Hey morgan...I was wondering where you get all your strength from? I think you are really cool...just between us you are the reason I watch the show!....anyways I hope you answer me back bye thanks

Roxy: Do u get a lot of bad reactions about how u are? (Personally I think you're a great example of a teenager.)

Morgan: There was maybe one or two. And you will be able to see one episode later on unless they choose to edit it out. It concerns an underwear incident between me and my girlfriend.
RunnerChic: Is there a side of you people don't see? or are you just upfront all the time?
Morgan: I am upfront all the time. They get to see emotional sides of me, with working with disabled kids. They get to see the rebellious side of me with lighting off fireworks. And they get to see the romantic side of me with my girlfriend.
Morgan: Which is a side not many people get to see.
cool_and_krazy: Are u good friends with any of the other cast members on the show?

greencheese: How do your parents feel about having a son so rebellious as you???
Morgan: My parents, you know, they have to put up with it, but I don't think they enjoy it that much. I think they've grown to live with it over the years. Morgan: But my brother is a complete opposite, so it's good that they got one that's not a bad seed.
Justin182: I just want you to know that that whole "f is for fun..." bit was awesome. I've lived by that motto for years and its awesome to see some one else out there is too...
Morgan: Sweet! That's really cool that other people share in my opinion. It's cool to see that there are actually other people like me out there. I used to think that I was one of a kind.
redknuckles: Does your brother ever get on your nerves?
Morgan: My brother gets on my nerves just as much as anyone else's brother gets on their nerves. But we've actually been able to get along a couple of months now without him getting on my nerves. Morgan: It's cool to see my brother supports me though.
MolsonCanadian: How do you get along with your parents? Sometimes you seemed very rebellious, but there were brief moments that showed something else.....:)
Morgan: I get along with my parents pretty well. We do have a couple of bumps, as do all parents and children. But in the long run I love them with all my heart.
jennyk: MORGAN, Why are you so disrespectful to your parents?
Morgan: I'm not so disrespectful; I think it's more that I am rebellious. And that it's my attitude. But I think that they can put up with me makes it all worth it.
CorrieSunshine: Morgan, you're really not that rebellious. Have you ever done anything that actually was really bad?
Morgan: I painted my high school white with purple polka dots for graduation, the whole first floor. That's pretty rebellious I think.
Lubna: Do you get along more with your dad now?
Morgan: I don't know if we get along more, I think we get along the same; it's just that I think we can relate more, thanks to the show.
Kinky_Kitty03: What was going on in that scene w/your dad, u and that cucumber???
nava: What was up with that whole cucumber scene??
Morgan: There was a cucumber on the table that had just come from Jewel that had like clear jelly stuff on it. Morgan: And I was wondering what the heck it was! They're yelling to me wax! But to this day I don't know what it was. Morgan: And I figured I might as well point the cucumber at my dad, just like pointing the finger.
isilia: What point in your life do you think you became who you are? You seem to be such a confident person
Morgan: I'd say sophomore year, freshman year I was still the shy type of guy who when he opened up was a rebellious punk kid who had a side that was never really seen until sophomore year. I figured show all and tell all, cause that's who I am. I shouldn't be embarrassed of who or what I was.
Stacey: Who are your role models, who do you look up too?
ZoonGoon: Whos your idol Morgan??????
Morgan: Bruce Lee. Einstein. And maybe Jet Li. Morgan: And Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera and the Backstreet Boys.

KAMotley315: What's your bands name?
Morgan: Loke.
noelle303: Does your band have a web page?

metallicafan: What do you do to blow off anger
Morgan: Go light off fireworks, Shoot off paint ball guns, get in trouble, hang out with friends, sit at home and cry.

Morgan: No. I never do things to just get my parents mad. I have done a lot of things that have gotten my parents mad, though.
Delaney: Are you a judgmental person? At any times????
Morgan: No. I choose not to point fingers or think of myself as a better person than anyone else, and I choose not to judge others unless I should be judged myself.
jacaranda: What are your biggest physical and emotional fears?
Morgan: One fear is being alone. And not having someone to hold me or love me. Morgan: Such as skydiving, bungee jumping, horseback riding and so on. Morgan: I am conquering every fear I have by doing those things. Morgan: Another fear is to not achieve my goals in life, to not become something big and to not be able to leave my mark on this world. Other than I try to conquer every fear I have.
GinaKolada: Do u have a person that you consider your best friend and if so, what is his/her name?
Morgan: I don't know about a best friend.... I've never really had someone that has been a best friend. I've had a lot of friends that I confide in and trust. Morgan: But never someone who could be there as the best friend for me.
Michael: Where did ya get that tiger suit?
wish4magic: What made u want to wear a tiger suit?
HEATHER: What's up with the tiger outfit?
Morgan: I got my tiger suit at a costume shop. I saw it, and it said Morgan all over it! So I decided to buy it for whatever price it was. And the second I bought it I started wearing it every single day to just about any place. Morgan: I wore it to restaurants; I wore it to the malls, to the movies, and to school. Morgan: That suit was me. A ball of energy! Morgan: I don't wear it as much as I used to but I still wear it. Morgan: And I just might sell it on Ebay if anyone wants to buy it!
McGrawzGurl: Why are u such a rebel?
Morgan: I am such a rebel because - good question! - That is who and what I am and what I do. I don't look for trouble, trouble finds me.
andycanada82: What's the craziest thing you did in front of camera?
Morgan: I don't know, I thought lighting off fireworks was pretty crazy. Walking on the roof of the school during classes and getting caught. I don't know, I think the craziest things if they were done with a camera crew there, they were edited out. Morgan: But I have to say, watch the episodes and find out.
MiChAeL: How did u get so cool?
Morgan: I don' know, I never really thought of myself as a cool person. It just sort of came. But thanks for calling me cool Michael, you're cool for saying I'm cool!

Hecate_Goddess14: Do you dwell on the way other people view you? (i.e. he's bad; he's a role model, etc)
Morgan: No. I do not look at what other people in negative effects or stuff like that. Because it would affect the way I behave and then I would not be a real person.
medicationsucks: Do you watch yourself on TV?
Morgan: Yes I do. And it's cool to watch.
morganisawesome: Do you have more friends now that you did the show?
Morgan: No. I have the same amount of friends; no one has tried to cling on.
teletigpig182: ure so cool! Do you feel cooler now that ure on TV?
Morgan: I don't feel cooler, I just feel, I don't know, blessed - it's get to be able to have my voice heard and my opinions asked.
leah_360: After knowing your life for that period of time was going to be broadcasted, were you a little scared? Maybe of anything from negative comments to your life being totally exposed?
Morgan: Yes. At first after everything was taped, I was really, you know, weirded out, and felt embarrassed by the things I said and the things I did. But in the end, it turned out really well. And turned out to be a positive experience.
