lcfc_jme Posted 11 June 2007 Posted 11 June 2007 Yeah. Been described as a "little estate boy trying to be big", told to "get back in my council house" and told that I'm "fake and a joke" by somebody from a wealthier background than my own. Just because I'm trying to do well in my exams and go to uni. Am I right in thinking that this person has clearly lost all perspective of reality and that I should just laugh at them. especially seeing as they're going in the opposite direction to myself?
AoWW Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 Yes, you are right... they've clearly got issues of their own and are getting their kicks out of putting you down. Don't give it a second thought. Stuff like this makes me really angry. Best thing you can do is make a success of your life... giving the narrow-minded tosser (I'm assuming male, could be wrong ) the proverbial two fingers in the process.
Daggers Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 You do what makes you happy and **** everyone else. (Caveat: As long as it doesn't piss on others unless they pissed on you) Good luck with the exams Jamie
hairy Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 You go for it Jamie. Do better than them in the exams. Good luck.
Raj Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 Yeah.

Firstly...Who said this? Secondly i think they may be a little jealous that you are trying to make something of your life. These sort of comments should give you EXTRA motivation to prove what a twat they are. INCENTIVE+MOTIVATION MAKES ANYTHING POSSIBLE! Its always better to get a LITTLE from something you have done yourself than more which is given to you!
davieG Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 Wealth doesn't equal intelligence and shouldn't automatically command respect, it can equal arrogance and a lack of respect for others. Never assume the person, who may appear to be socially superior is worth a light or a minute of your time or is better than you. Ignoring him and his jibes is the best approach and demonstrates your greater intelligence and will annoy the person much more than any verbal or physical response will. It's sad really but they are probably just looking for attention but need to learn this is not the way to achieve it.
James. Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 It's jealousy rooted in insecurity. Plain and simple. I wouldn't give him or what he has said a moment's thought

Best of luck with everything mate and don't sweat what other people say. Remember, most people are idiots. If you have anything about you at all, then 80% of people WILL be jealous of you. Fu ck 'em.

Well I'm jealous of him, young, can play a decent game of footy, all those romantics nights and gratuitous sexual activities to come. Shame about the exams though!
Sly Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 Yeah.

You've sumed it up Jamie with your last two sentances. Everyone is given equal chance to do get what they want from life, your taking the chance, where as they aren't. There loss, not yours. Good luck with the exams mate.
davieG Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 I'm jealous too! And I'm only 23! Oh and I forgot the beer copious amounts of it, 2 pints these days and I'm, well I usually can't remember what I'm like !
Ultra Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 Yeah.

Folks can say a lot worse... Ignore them. If they're consumed by envy and bitterness then it is their problem, not yours. It is a fact of modern life that the more successful among us will occasionally find ourselves the target of snipers from among the inadequate. Treat all types of ill-informed criticism with contempt.
Alexikokopops Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 The chap sounds like a bit of a cockmuncher, and a jealous one at that. Not worth the time of day. Good look with the exams mate.
The People's Hero Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 Treat all types of ill-informed criticism with contempt. We do. Can you tell?

Just wave to him on the way by. People with real class would never behave like that. It isn't money that equates to class - though far too many think it does. It is a whole heap of qualities such as hard work, personal sacrifice, kindness and concern for others and much more. Class emerges from all levels of society just as ignorance manifests itself across the same spectrum. As the late Sir Stanley Matthews said his when asked if he enjoyed cleaning the changing rooms on his first day as a 15-year-old at Stoke City's Victoria Ground... "I'll do whatever you ask to the best of my ability." If you follow that advice you'll go a long way whatever your background. Cos it is what you do in life that matters not what you're worth financially or where you hail from. Whatever they pretend people all piss, shit and end up as dust. The ones I admire are those who, while quite possibly taking their own abilities to the peak of achievement, nevertheless take time and make sacrifices to help and inspire others. What they are worth financially or why they might live is of absolutely no consequence. There are plenty of arseholes at either end of the financial ladder just as there are fine people. Just ignore the one and learn from the other. Good luck in those exams.
Dames Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 Rich kids are arseholes, Fact. Don't let them get to you man, they think that because there rich they are garenteed success and they hate it when 'Estate' kids do better than them they think they are better than us. He's just jealous, if worst comes to worst give him a back hander we all know rich kids can't fight.

Dames Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 You're part of the problem, not the solution. Was just a little joke at the end don't take offence mate.
James. Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 Was just a little joke at the end don't take offence mate. Why would I be offended? I'm neither rich or a kid. It's the first part that you should be careful of. Writing off all rich kids as "arseholes" is on a par with Jamie's nemesis.
Rincewind Posted 12 June 2007 Posted 12 June 2007 I'm reminded of something my brother has said. When he was a teacher teaching in a 'rough' area he used to tell the peoples to think to themselves that if one kid of a council estate makes a success of their life they should make sure it's them. There is no reason why anyone should not do as well as the next person if they really believe and willing to work at it.

Writing off all rich kids as "arseholes" is on a par with Jamie's nemesis. I didn't say all i just said 'Rich kids' meaning the majority. I'm just speaking my mind and most of the 'Rich kids' i've come across are indeed arseholes.

There rich kids out there with parents who come from traditional working class families, that act exactly the same as you and I. Its the snotty, posh kids you want to watch out for, like that cow off big brother.
