Daring to be different/be youreslf despite ignorant misunderstandings from the young

[mydrugbuddy]

Fortunately i didnt have to worry too much about scallies in my late teens. You can be weird in a small rural town that you grew up in without constant myther especially if you had some well respected people as your friends. But as The Jam sang "You cant be weird in a strange town". So true. People dont know or care about your 'history' and you can attract the derision of scallies unless you have sky high self confidence, and at least some form of self defence skills. It would also help to bhe a fuckin hard intimidating cunt when required too. On speed i can just stare these cunts down until they get embarrased and uncomfortable, and feel like the idiots they are. I love doing this to cocky teens especially.

Theres loads of things i should be taking up whilst i have time and money; pilates, swimming lessons,self defence. Im sure they would all boost my confidence significantly. Not that i ever look for trouble. I do everyuthing to try to avoid it. Sometimes the 'turn the other cheek' approach can leave your self esteem in tatters, I am learning better coping mechanisms for all this ignorant crap though. These ignorant cunts dont know me, they are looking through their own hate filled prejudices and srereo-types. I dunno if they think i have a piss easy life, with loads of opportunities. This has not been the case, due to sever persnality and confidence issues.

Im glad i m not asian though, the abuse ive received has been lacking real anger and hatred, not like the abuse ive heard people shouting out of cars at asians walking along the pavement, just minding their own business,

Racism and conformity and sheep mentality is so prevalent here. I might be better off in a more tolerant city like Amsterdam, Bristol or Brighton. We'll see once i ghet retrained for my intended new career as a drugs worker, Its the first time ive known for sure what i want to do, and have a feeling id make a pretty decent job of it.......

Its a strange thing that the Mancs in general over about 50 years old are lovely polite, considerate, kind and welkl mannered people. What the fuck happened to the next generation ?

I have to be clean myself first, so i dunno if im gonna be too late to apply for a bursary and more specialised training at Salfor uni for this sept/oct. I'll ask my one to one worker tomoz, I can handle class rooms and group discussions, but no where near ready for one to one counselling/advice.

But as The Jam sang "You cant be weird in a strange town". So true.

On speed i can just stare these cunts down until they get embarrased and uncomfortable, and make them feel like the immature tools that they are. I love doing this to cocky teens especially.

Theres loads of things i should be taking up whilst i have a little spare time and money; pilates, swimming lessons,self defence whether it be martial arts or boxing or wrestlinng; any of this would give me confidence a new dimension. Im sure they would all boost my confidence significantly. Not that i ever look for trouble. I do everything to try to avoid it.

These ignorant cunts dont know me, they are looking through their own hate filled prejudices and stereo-types. I dunno if they think i have a piss easy life, with loads of opportunities. This has been very far from the case.

I'll ask my one to one worker tomoz, I can handle class rooms and group discussions, but no where near ready ot offer other people one to one counselling/advice.

Many of the people ive met during this process have left me thinking that I could do a much better job than them. Their knowledge of drugs is very limited; some not knowing the difference between opiates and benzos. Although to be fair some of the are trained counsellors rather than drugs workers per se. The thousand of hours spent an BL etc will not be wasted...

Hrm, interesting! I was looking at that Salford Uni course.. have been seriously thinking about a career in counselling, probably not a full-on drugs worker as I think I lack a lot of first-hand experience, but yeah, something in that field. Anyway - if you don't manage to get onto that course in Sept, Manchester College run a short 8 week course, counselling concepts, that looks like a good intro and probably not as strict on entry requirements. (Might be a bit below you if you've already done some training though..)

is this a largely white suburb of manchester? i havent heard anyone shouting abuse at asians for years


also, on the next generation thing. pretty sure its the same everywhere.. i first noticed that kids were getting progressively worse ten years ago, seems our entire generation are just less moralistic, more impatient, on shorter fuses, less considerate of others and more selfish generally than ever before. i sometimes attempt to fathom the reasons behind this but as with my ubiquitous-cancer theory, there are a multitudinous array of possible causes and it is hard to pin it down to any one reason

I could go on about the decay of social standards & social conditioning through the media targeted at the youth but I will save you all from a crazy guys view, but mydrugbuddy up most respect on the job.

I have never found my true calling in life yet & tbh I don't think I ever will but what you got into there is the 1 thing I would like to do so much, only thing that stops me is knowing I would have to quit using drugs before I got the job & any future drug use may jeopardise my employment.

Good luck to you, I hope it works out for you

They spoiled the fuck out of their kids from being so considerate, and while they were busy with that they didn't have time to notice their kid was turning into a real fucking prick.

 

[pinkpapaver]

kids are kids and always will be until they turn into adults. there's a quote from socrates or some other greek that says words to the effect of "the young are so bad, they have no respect for their elders anymore"

then there's the other one that goes "kids are really bad these days, they spend far too much time playing with their (BLANKETY BLANK BLANKETY BLANK SUPER MATCH GAME CHEQUE BOOK AND PEN)
