  • Why are middle class people so jealous of upper class people?

    Marriage & Divorce - 5 hours ago

    Additional Details

    I could drag this question out into a full-blown essay, as I have years of experience under my belt in watching middle class people suffer in their middle class nightmares. But I'll only point to one example. Why do middle class people obsess over taking vacations? I mean, when middle class people take a vacation, they take millions of pictures and discuss the fact that they're actually on a vacation. And when they get back from the vacation, they don't shut up about the vacation. When I was growing up, we'd pack up and spend the summer months in the Bahamas (nothing too fancy but my parents have a bungalow down there). We didn't scream, "Oh, we're on a vacation! Let's take a million pictures to remind ourselves of it!" Nor did we treat the locals with disrespect as do many middle class people since it's there only opportunity to be the boss of someone else--similar to how they treat waiters in restaurants. Rich people actually treat waiters kindly. Middle class people abuse the power divide. Anyway, do middle class people just obsess over how they feel like 'royalty' for that one week? Is that what it is? Are they so frustrated with their class status that they worship the idea of not being enslaved for that one week every year? You guys have to know what I'm talking about. So why are they so obsessed with vacations?

    I am struggling with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and have been struggling with alcoholism as a result of it. First off, I have nonstop panic attacks because of seizure disorder and the only way I can go outside is to drink. I almost died 5 years ago at age 23 from a brain aneurysm. Well, I successfully quit drinking for months and relapsed. I have no license from seizures and my friend drove us to a bar. My body wasnt used to alcohol and I got drunk extremely fast. I ended up falling in the parking lot and hit my head VERY hard, cut my nose, hands and knee. My friend was like ur fine and took me home. She was so wasted that she helped me up and left. The pain in my head was so extreme and I got up and looked in the mirror and could not believe how much blood and the size of the injury that was on my head. I called 911 since I knew there was something wrong because of the amount of pain I was in. At the hospital (which i deserved) they treated me like crap for drinking yet I still needed a ride home. My mom started screaming at me when I called and asked me what happened and I told her I think we were in an accident and that my friend (who Im questioning my frienship with anyway considering leaving me bleeding) drove home to avoid a DUI. Its been 24 hours. I have been in bed all day. How do I explain to my mom this was all a fabricated lie? Or do I just roll with the car accident story? One things for sure, this is def. a low point and Ive needed one as an excuse to get sober. THanks I went thru a year long rehab program. My panic attacks came back and my doctor said they are a result of PTSD and put me on Seroquel. (which is for psychotic episodes) I sleep 24 hours straight on it or I would take it.

    Im in college at the moment, and my course has 28 people. 26 of those are girl , me and one other lad-though he is gay. So in effect, people say especially my old high school mates, wow you are lucky! However, whilst hanging around with them now for 4 weeks, i have learned sooo much about girls now, as in my high school my group was just lads as mates. Now though, i do like some of them , as in like/love them more than a mate, but cannot tell them that though. In college, i try to be nice, friendly as can be towards them, i am flirty, but never tease them or annoy them. I ask to carry their stuff occasionally, when she needs the toilet i would go and wait outside for her etc. She does have a boyfriend, ( Thats one of the great things about being good friend with a girl, they trust me. Tell me about their boyfriend, what gets on their nerves, the texts they send, and even their secrets. They was joking about someone in our class, they did not show the other lad, but when i asked they did show me.) ANYWAYS, if or when she breaks up with her bf, trust me it has come close, i would deffo support her, and would not want to ask her out straight away. 2 days ago whilst sat down at lunch, her mate said wow you two would look great as a couple, i didnt know what to say lol. She said what him , as there was lots of people, then she said im going out with someone. IM JUST CONFUSED , most girls go for a bad boy look, i just prefer being nice and flirty, i hang around with her everywhere, sitting next to her etc, if she does break up, i dont want to ask her out for fear of losing her.... What should i do ??
  • Who's a good person to ask out?

    In my school, the girls in my school are either troublemakers, a different race (not to be racist), or an "innocent" who thinks I'm not her type. In the past, I've always had friends with problems (I won't go into any more detail) and I want to ask out a normal girl at my school. Can anyone give me advice on who to ask out? Commenting on Sergio's suggestion, I feel like I've found someone, but she might be in another relationship, but if she's not, then I'm very shy to ask her out because when the word gets out, people made fun of me, which happened in my last relationship.

    There's this girl in my class(Channelle) and she's the loudest out of the lot of us I use to dismiss it as partly because she come s from a family of 11. However at the start I thought we were really getting along talking and joking and now and again i would mes around hugging her and pretend to kick her in the ass. She would do this to other people in the class to. All the girls in my class like her except me. You see she went and told the principal I touched her inappropriately I was called over and my two year heads were there and I told them what I told you guys. They said just be careful yet then I had girls in my class say "Oh did you touch her then snigger's".. Then the next day I had nail varnish out and i was touching up my nails and this other girl in my class(Nicky) asked me would I do her nails so I said yeah cool. After I did that my mam was told that a mother had rang the school about me touching her etc (You see my mam had to go down as part odd what happened with channel) Only to be told more lies about another girl.(Nicky). Now n class they call me a weirdo and everyone else is just as cool as a cucumber. On my way back from drama class this girl(becky0 asked if i fancied this other girl(natalie) I sad to her she was weird and she said IM weird.!. they Its lie one day outta 2weeks they ease up on me. It ridiculous I suffer from depression and ive been self harming for a year and a half. I thought T. would bring us all together and id make some friends for once yet these girls don't wanna work together. The teachers are even more delusional sure like they know whats wrong and they don't do anything about it any time one of them meets me she asks me how are u cloe and before i can answer she says good good. I feel like i should play along. My parents wont change schools for me what can I do.? T.Y transistion year.
