Most I like are from housing estates or trailer trash(underclass) and they are a lot better than me in life, they have everything and I have nothing,The guys I like from these are treated me like dirt and get away with it, they're also better in sport. They are the same age as me and their lives are thoousands times better then mine. It really upsets me why life is like this. Reply to this Question

from what i see theses people have the advantages in life.
they live in a city,thaey jobs,good schooling,they popular.they have cars they get better on.but flip sid they coin is there shallow,cruel,cold hearted,very ambitiious,right down hurtful,they don,t care who they hurt as long as they get what want,and boastful too,

Well it wise b4 you comment on this one to have walked both life styles...
I've personaly felt a tighter community sprit and friendship on housing blocks than living on a street in a house,there more people in a smaller area on the block more interaction and far more connections...
I would also agree the block kids are better at sports,as the up bringing is very tough and out doors from an early age and you grow with a different type of wisdom.(Street wise)
I have to agree with the question in many respects as its a different type of eduction you learn in block living.
In the ghetto we sure have vibez and its hard to be bored and negative..

It's ridiculous to stereotype the housing estate people as bheing better than the Better backgrounds! Everyone's different despite where you come from, moral values can be taught and learnt anywhere.

 For a lack of a better way to put it..... FUCK 'EM! Seriously, I have no idea where the idea that a person's socio-economic status reflects their worth as a human being came from, but I'll be damned if I'll accept it. Money (sometimes not even earned) and background should not dictate a person's disposition towards others. And for someone coming from a legacy of "being better off than you" to look down on you, that just proves that they are so one dimensional that they can't see someone for who they are. The next time someone treats you like dirt for your background, please do me a favor and give them hell about how mentally you are probably a much more well rounded individual than they are and if their money were taken away from them, they wouldn't have a goddamn clue how to deal. Don't let these types of people bring you down. And if you do find one of these types that actually has some redeeming qualities, feel free to take on the challenge of changing their mentality. It's actually kinda fun. Sorry about the rant, it's just something I feel passionate about for several reasons.

There may be some fact in this ghetto life and friends do run deep.. and can last a very long time.. I grew up on an large housing block and have known the same people for many years and where I now live in a house on a normal street, people pretty much keep themselves to themselves.
