Did you grow up poor/how has it affected you today?

[Deleted member 15674]

I grew up poor, my dad left my mother for a few years, so we struggled financially for a few years. It was tough, I was only 10 and didn't really understand what was going on, but just knew my mum was not in the greatest of moods. I kept a lot of my issues to myself and would be bullied in school for being poor, even to the point where a few teachers would laugh at me being mocked by other students. It sucked, I never really told anyone since I didn't want to appear like a victim/weak in front of my siblings and knew it would just stress/upset my mum further since she was already having a rough time.

I only had 1 teacher who really stood up for me, for a 10 year old, he seemed like a hero to me. He always helped me out and would tell me to keep my head up. Kids would call me ugly too, but he told me it wasn't true.

Tbh I took up a teaching job for a year teaching kids part time when I was 18, and whenever I saw bullying I stood up for the little guy, I'd think of my 10 year old self and get very angry at students if they ever bullied. If I heard students being made fun of for being poor, I'd tell them off and often tell the main teacher to send the student out for bullying.

I improved a few kids lives during my teaching job, I made a few kids go from set 3 to set 2, and most of the students in my class had respected me. I was never overly strict and would allow them to chew gum and chit chat as long as they did enough work. I just had a 0 tolerance to bullying.

Luckily, I didn't grow up a povertycel. I did workcel a bit but wages are pretty cucked so I didn't save up that much. Close to landing this wagecucking opportunity in the UK. Will allow me to fund my ascension.

But yeah. Povertyceldom is cortisol inducing. I'd rope if I had to go through some of the shit povertycels have to in my country.

Based tbh. I was always much taller than my peers when I was younger (I’ve since plateaued), and some of them would seem kind of timid and fearful when in my presence, but after they got to know me, they knew that they had no need to be. I always was an ardent protector of those who were bullied. I hated to see it transpire and still do I’m ngl.

Middle class, but money was rarely just given out, I never really had the coolest gadgets or very fashionable clothes. Money was pinched there where it wouldn't affect our lives terribly. We did have vacations roughly once a year and when I really needed the money for a good reason, I always got it. I'm thankful to my parents, they maybe didn't have all the time for me or brothers, but they sacrificed a lot so I could have something good.
I salute you for standing up to those less fortunate kids though, everyone deserves a happy childhood and the equal opportunities, no matter what type of family background you're coming from.

highest in incidence mental diseases are likened to poverty

Mirin bro although I grew up in middle class town, and there was a point where we really struggled financially, but my parents still gave me everything we wanted which was nice- but I understood the sacrifice it took, so I respect the struggle massively, and I made sure to excel at school grades coz of them tbh.

That's why nowadays I'm very stingey with my spending, and only splash out on looksmaxxing supps and food now lol

My lil brother gets bullied, my older brother pulled up on the bully and the PC school threatened to get the police involved jfl, I'd smack these kids out but they are under 18 and you'd go jail basically if u touched them. The school I went to are snobs and racists at heart too.

Probably why I found this site coz I grew up the loser who no girl wanted, even though I'm not even bad looking..

Good for you and then you have ungrateful troons, feminists with colorful hair and buzzcuts hating their fathers for not having had too much time for them because he was working 60-70h/week to enable them to grow up upper middle class.

I respect my father a lot, even though we often struggled with money, he took up some disgusting dangerous jobs just to get us through and give his kids better opportunities than what he had

I come from a family of abused dogs (middle class) wageslaving is their motto, my parents will work until their last breath cuz they got a low iq subhuman son that can’t even finish his degree.

I don't know, everyone around me was poor

Went from living in a good middle class suburban neighborhood to bottom of the barrel place where there was no running water in the house

That shit affects you in a certain way, makes you appreciate every cent and little number of $ you have. life is good now, but living in that place for a couple of years certainly took its toll
