I'm talking about how you were handed friends, a great life, personality
Think about how tough it is growing up poor in a basement and finally having a decent home. Obviously I appreciate what I have but it angers me when you people have whatever you want.
Oh and that's not even the part cause I'm not assuming you're wealthy. It's the fact that you have white privilege, the fact that you can make more friends. I did an iSearch on white privileged and surveys, statistics prove that higher self esteem is generally more common in white people cause you grow up with assurance that you're better than most. You're gonna deny it but it's true. I have low self esteem just for being Asian, a lot of people do too. That's why few white people in my school sit alone at lunch and all of these people with different ethnicities do.
You think you know everything and that you're on the same scale.
You think you UNDERSTAND what I've been through. You think you go to a school with such a high degree of difficulty and that it's comparable to a tested and harsh one. You're wrong. You think you have parents like I do, that shut the power at 12 and scream when they're in a bad mood. Parents that drive you insane and are way harsher. Ones that sign you up for so many useless prep centers with 5-10 SAT packets a week, as if my regular HW wasn't enough.
I don't study and I go on ROBLOX instead. It's the only source of which I communicate socially with people. I don't have friends and I'm one of the nicest people you'll meet irl.
You won't get it. You never will. |

20 page paper on it.
The only people that will disagree are privileged people. You can't deny it. |

I guess having a brain counts as being privileged these days.
Who knew. |

I get it.
Listen, I'm sorry that you don't have the life you wanted, but that shouldn't stop you from pushing on to exceed your potential. Your parents only want the best for you because they love you. They want you to do great on the SAT's so you can get yourself into a good school, and eventually find yourself a great job. Try to imagine how life is in their shoes.
Your parents work hard and had to raise a son with little to nothing, and now they finally have a decent home. They put their son into a school, and instead of studying he plays Roblox all day.
Friends are important, but thats a different story. Keep working, and prioritize school buddy. It'll be worth it in the long run.

You need to realize that you don't need them to understand you. You make your own choices, and saying that the reason you're not doing well in life is because of "white privilege" is just an excuse. I'm not saying it's not a real thing, but it shouldn't stop you.

I went to the same school for 9 years and only had 2 friends, one of whom left after my 6th year.
I then went to a school where I sat alone at lunch every day because no one wanted to get to know the new kid.
My junior year I decided to stop that and overcome my depression. I become more outgoing, changed my look, and put myself out there. I started to feel more confident and independent.
To this point I still struggle in life. I had the choice of attending community college for free and getting a liberal arts degree, which is exactly what my parents did and what they supported me to do. Instead, I chose to take on huge loads of debt to attend the university so that I could pursue my dream of becoming an engineer. My parents literally hate me for my decision, and they have made it clear that paying for tuition is 100% my responsibility.
My dad yells at me and wants me to move out. My mom doesn't care what I do.
But I keep going. I don't let it get me down. I'm no where near wealthy, in fact, I'm at the other end of the spectrum. I don't believe that I'm better than most.
Race has nothing to do with it. It's all on you, and the choices you make. And the work you put into it.
I'm accomplish so much just because I've been willing to work. It doesn't matter if you're white, black, asian, middle eastern, etc. It's your life, and there's no such thing as destiny, because you're the one that controls your life.

Superspy that is well spoken but you know I go through so much anger and stress it doesn't make me want to continue or think about anything
Having no friends to me changes my personality since I'm extremely emotional

I have a naive way of thinking and I've still got a long way to go, I totally understand that.
But it's hard to think straight when you look around and you feel like you're inferior |

No black, I don't > Ark. I give Ark crap because I don't like the posts he makes. But that doesn't make me superior/him inferior to anyone.
@Ark. I'm in college right now and I know literally no one. That's why I play roblox, because I have friends online. Just believe me when I say you need to put yourself out there. Posting on this site is a mindless trap. I admit that it's fun and addictive, and it's awesome talking with friends. But ultimately, it's pointless. Meeting new people in life and exerting yourself is how you really get rid of that anger and stress, trust me, I know.

dont worry, were all equal. we all may seem lower. but no ones above or under. no matter the race, age, gender. we are human. simple as that.

I'm in 10th grade and I don't think I'm stupid on a wide range but in my school specifically, I'm one of the kids who are struggling
Most people hate me cause I like attention which I only get from roblox I'm never proud of it yet I do it |
