My players's stats are negative?

So this is our first game. I decided that we would use the basic starter module. I had them set up their things and they did it but for some reasons the stats are negative. Why?

The negatives you are seeing are the calculation of their attribute modifier based on the numbers input into the smaller ovals under each attribute. 10 is the average so those seem very low, how are you generating them?

Sort of, did you use the charactermancer ? Alternatively the traditional way is to roll 3d6 (or 4d6 and choose the highest 3), a point buy system or use a standard array (15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8). Ofcourse many systems also then add to those results based on race chosen etc too!
