I've lived in that many places already I look at old friends who have added me on Facebook and think that I probably would have been different if I stayed in those places. Probably for the better.Quote:

Don't say that, I'm moving there in 8 days lol.Quote:

Living in a bad area makes me want to work hard and have a good future when I'm older, so really I guess it's almost a good thing. If I had everything in the world I wouldn't be the same person as I am now, and I wouldn't be so driven to do well :).
Not reading three pages lol...
anyway yeah sometimes I do. My area is fairly well off (like top 20 richest boroughs in Britain) but it's actually not that nice. Most of the people round here are just average and it sounds bad because I know I'm lucky compared to most but I just feel if I had been born into a more prominent family I could've done more. I'm easily intelligent enough to go to Eton or a very expensive private school, I took several private-school tests in year 6, got offered every school I applied for but my parents couldn't afford it so sent me to the best state school.
Hopefully my luck will change, my parents have gone up a bit in the world recently and if I can get into a good Uni I can get a good job and give my kids what I could never have...
honestly, in an ideal world I would've been born into a millionaire family, without my heart/lung condition and be at a Swiss private school skiing every day and probably in the British Ski Squad. However my family aren't that well off and so I'm stuck in a comprehensive school hoping to get into Cambridge to give my kids what I never had :)
I also think if I had been born into a powerful family I could've taken over the world...but that's my ambition for another lifetime :D
no mylstone eye dunt. eye feel lyke everything is perfeckt in mi world n eye have loadz of appatunities. sorri abowt the wai yew feel. maybe yew shud muve when yew grow up
in my area, definately. their all chavs and quite frankly way less fortunate (no this is not a snobby jab unlike some) BUT seriously. some people that i see are outright rude like there was like a 2 year old and the mums like ''will you ******* hurry up before i leave you on the road'' it's like woah ...
My area has poor living conditions but I don't consider myself to be too 'good' for the place. This is not because I fit in either it's because there is not much I can do about it for starters! Secondly the subcultures (chavs) are in a lot of places anyway :/ But yeah I do sometimes feel like I want to move away to another country where these things don't exist if that makes sense.
