Being a teenager has never been easy — but in medieval England, it was a waking nightmare. In this immersive, second-person sleep video, we drag you through the miserable, mucky reality of adolescence in a time without privacy, plumbing, or pity. You’re not a hero, not a chosen one — just another forgettable teen lost in the system, where puberty meets porridge and hope dies quietly beside a freezing hearth.From body odor and bad food to arranged marriages and religious guilt, this video explores the gritty truth of growing up in a world that barely noticed you were there. Perfect for history lovers, insomniacs, and anyone curious about just how bad it could get.
