im leaving for a while

[Scrubbleboo]

you guys have no right to speak like that you dont know what their lives is like and what kind of hardships they or he was going through that he had to resort to that not everyone has rich parents to take care of them

Here's the deal. I am going to take the opportunity to ask you kindly to shut the fuck up. No matter what bullshit is thrown your way there are more opportunities to pull yourself out of the muck than you realize. I grew up with parents who were both drug dealers as well as drug addicts. My mother has been clean and sober for a while now but when I was younger this was not the case. I grew up in a household of drugs, strangers, and very little food to eat. I was lucky if my shoes didn't have holes in them or that my clothes fit. I have been in foster care. I have been straight up ripped off by my grandparents when I saved enough money to buy a cheap car from working at the age of 12. They had the title in their name for "insurance" purposes and when I moved at age 18 they threatened to report it stolen if I drove away with it. They then sold my car. I paid my own bills from the time I could work. I fed myself, clothed myself and even paid rent to my own family. I have never had anything handed to me in my entire life. I have seen more death, poverty and hatred in my life than I bet this kid can come up with.

I have absolutely no one to pay for my college let alone help me out in a time of need. My family is one horrible nightmare.

I have a wonderful husband who went through even more shit than I did. His story is not mine to tell.

This is the internet and you can talk shit to me about this if you want. No one is going to tell me that my background can prevent me from bettering myself. I had the right of mind to get an education despite attending 15 schools while growing up. I knew that an education would help me in the long run. No one will ever tell me I can't get an education, that I can't make lots of money or that I can't work for what I want. My children are going to learn the value of money and they will not be spoiled but at least I know I can provide for them a world I never had.

So seriously, a hard life or a poor background are never an excuse to turn to a life of crime. I don't give a shit who you are. Get a low paying job and live in a studio apartment or on the streets. You can work your way up in this world.

Edit: On another note, I just stated similar points that came up in Christmas's post. Take note, life can get better and it will if you stop acting like a spoiled brat. When you sit there and cry about those "Little spoiled rich white kids" you are just playing into that negative bullshit thinking that made you a loser in the first place. Especially when more opportunities are given to minorities in the way of education, jobs, and welfare. I would rather stick rusty spoons in my eyes than have to read some asshole bitching about rich kids again. Grow up.
