Thanks, Ally!
GRAWR my classmates are such ignorant entitled privileged brats.
I mean, I'm a privileged brat, but I admit it, and I don't think I'm entitled.
Like, in economics today, our teacher brought up the huge gap between the average income of a caucasian family and the average income of african-american and latino families ($100,000, $8000, and $7000 if you're wondering) and all my classmates are like "Well if they work hard they can get better, there was racism in the past but now it's up to them" and "well they bring it on themselves with their attitude and gangster clothes" and "well I hate when people talk about how more black people should get scholarships, that's not fair to the white kids who work hard".
I (verbally, unfortunately) ripped them all to pieces. With my teacher's help.
These kids piss me off so much some days. I hate really entitled people.
Like, yes, my parents worked very hard to be able to give me the life I had. But I have had to do practically nothing. I have never had to earn what I have, and I didn't have to work beyond getting decent grades to go to my school. And I KNOW that, and I'm grateful for it, but I know it isn't fair, and when these kids get all entitled and snotty and "well it shouldn't be our responsibility they brought it on themselves" I just want to smack them all.
Anyway, I'm about to get started trying to catch up in Chem.
