:hmph:

im just trying to get to know my fellow bsourcer. i'd only throw things in someones face if i hated them, lol. but poverty reads are lame anyway.

:traciandchelle:

I didn't come in here asking anything this time. I just simply left a comment and punched. Later on I asked about the Upward Bound program since we got on the subject of school.

But I'll put it to you like this there's nothing I haven't seen or witness first hand living in Maryland.

Wealth is a double-edged sword. One of my closest friends tried to kill herself by overdosing on meds.

I remember visiting her in the hospital and her mom was in complete denial. In fact she left for a couple hours to go "shopping".

She was taking pictures of us in the room because she thought we looked "cute"  :uhh:

Her father completely dismissed any ideas of mental illness or depression and simply said she "should have taken her CPA exam. If she had a good job she wouldn't feel this way."

Her sisters, jealous because she lived in the high-rise condo her parents bought, said, "why would she try to kill herself when she lives in such a nice building?"

I was appalled. I had never seen a family so out-of-touch with reality.

Are you Indian? I feel like foreigners in general have this mentality.

My African parents def. do. In fact, it took my mom taking a psych class to figure out why her older brother was a nut ;fff I swear foreigners think they're immune to mental illness.

"We give you everthing, the fuck you mean depression? Depressed about what?"   :plzstop: and don't get them started cause they will start rambling about their own childhoods. And it's crazy how the communities try to HIDE suicides. And claim they're accidents. I really can't.
fffgggggg

And alot of public schools just let anyone teach.

I remember my Biology class consisted of everyone just coming to talk and hang. Everydamn body would be in biology class just sitting chilling on the phone, humping and touching each other, or going on field trips to McDonalds for our teacher and whoever else wanted something to eat.

The teacher was nice and I loved her but she should not have been teaching. I'm glad I went to private school before public school or I would have been in special ED. Like literally there were kids who should not have been in special ED there was nothing wrong with them their grades were just so awful they placed them in special ED
fbnff gggggg

:plzstop:

That's true for so many public schools in certain areas. Fucking sad

I grew up in a pretty rough neighborhood in the Bronx (thanks to gentrification, it's damn near the suburbs now). Both of my parents are immigrants who came to the states looking for a better opportunity. I saw my mother work a part-time job, earn a college degree and raise a family, so that definitely fuels me to push myself as far as I can. Growing up I saw money/wealth as the end goal, we're all pretty much programmed to believe that the "american dream" is to end up rich and/or working a "good job" in corporate america (which is what I'm doing now :bvy: ).

I'm still trying to figure out what exactly I want for a career or what my ultimate goal is and it's frustrating.
with a brain like yours, you'll find what works for you eventually. I can't imagine it any other way :dead:

Also, am I making an impact? And am I being impacted by others? And what am I doing with that to help shape myself and those around me for the better.


I used to not care about that, until the past year or so

:dead:

Now I want to see everyone around me succeed, because I know it can be done. Plus it's a nice feeling knowing you helped develop someone.

And even when you help someone, they're helping you.
It does feel good to see GOOD-hearted people with positive intentions succeed.

We grew up lower middle class, I dunno, I wouldn't say poor only because my parents worked very hard. I did eat syrup sandwiches tho very young, or days when I would eat and mom wouldn't. Didn't understand why.

They had a vision tho, I used to go sit outside the class while mama was in her college courses when she went back.
Somehow they managed to reach their goals and still allow us the opportunity to reach ours. We lived in the hood, but We moved to a home on the hills when I was young after it got too bad.

We all had to sacrifice when my older bro went off to school, but somehow all 4 of us managed to graduate college and even get graduate degrees. My folks are upper middle class now tho, they really did well and closed the gap and I hope to do the same in my life. As a ppl we were so behind, both my grandmothers couldn't read, grandfathers worked their asses off; but now over time my parents are business owners. I just hope I can continue and keep growing.

I identify best with ppl who have ambition and have a strong sense of motivation. I don't do well around ppl who are entitled, but also don't do well with ppl who are defeated and blame their surroundings for their current or future state.

I just learned to appreciate everything and everyone, I love ppl who don't take themselves too seriously which is why I joke in here all the time. All my closets friends are very humorous and all described as ppl with big hearts, if you don't reach back, you gotta pay it forward.
this post right here!!!!!

Ralf you hurt my feelings earlier bby.

I'm sorry, was not my intention.

I don't why me telling you "Bent, enough".
Would cause u shade me right after. You knew what u were doing.
And so I had to finally address u, cause u've been taking shots for a little while now.
I didn't shade you boy.
You are always late or busy :dead:

I wasn't taking Jay serious at all lol
when ppl are threatening my life I just need you to be fully engaged and making sure I'm safe. Not attacking me bby.

I'm not the only one who is late or busy.
You have people like Rig who comes MUCH LATER and does a recap of every thread.
:dead:

You did it in a shady way, IMO.
That's how I feel about it.

And once I saw Jay's "killing" comments I closed the thread.
It's all good. Lol.
Much love.

Why are you bringing me up
