Clearly i watch way too much telly, but i have to write about this because i am SO angry!
They've chosen the most extreme of divides. You have a girl who "can't bare the thought of state school" and a girl who lives in a house with no furniture, no carpet and her brother sleeps on the floor.
I am working class, i live in a housing association house and i have been on benefits. That does not make me a chav/lazy/a robber, nor does it reflect any how on the way my mother brought me up. I was brought up in a very nice rural area, had money, had new cars, holidays every year - sadly, of course due to mental health problems have i now ended up like this. But i am NOT ashamed of the way i am.
This RICH KID is absolutely disgusting with more prejudices at 15 years old than i have had in my whole entire life. Where does she get those kind of opinions from? Where i come from, having money does NOT make you any better than a person who doesn't.
The only thing that i don't agree with are the kids who have babies as a way of life, a way to get money, i do agree there are some people who are just lazy, but most people have genuine reasons for being on benefits. NO ONE actually wants to live on next to nothing money, do they?
Anybody else with an opinion?
