Social Class and Age Groups?

Question

How do you think Social Class in society affects age groups?

Answer 1

ok well in primary school i went to this public school

and now i'm on scholarship to one of the wealthiest schools in australia

the difference i've seen are

how the poor kids dont know the full story of being rich; they dont see how much being rich can suck

there are more rich people with issues like depression than poor

my friend's mum is a 'gold digger' and now she's a depressed alcoholic who's had to go to hospital many times and is highly suicidal

this girl who's family is so screwed up broke down once at school and was going on about how she doesnt want to be rich and insisting that she wasnt rich (she is clearly rich) and blurting out how it screwed up her family and how nobody likes her for who she is just her money blahblah

the poor kids just dont see this side of things

they think all the rich kids have it better than them

but often they are equal; both often have ignorant parents, one may be too busy working and the other may be have druggy parents

there's this other girl in high school who's parents are always working so she can do whatever with no adults caring about her. she's a sl*t and is always getting bashed and i have this feeling that she may be not minding getting bashed because it will give her attention from her parents

at my school we go on this 8 week residential camp in the country and the local kids spat on my friend and told him to go back to your rich b*tch mansion

there's just a whole heap of lack of undertanding in the youth

in youths and young adults both the poor and rich very often get involved in drugs

not saying the middle class dont but i think it's more likely for the poor and rich

the poor may naturally fall into this stuff because their parents do it and they may have friends on the streets who influence them

the rich because they have the money to access it easily

...i dont know if this is the type of answer you wanted but this is what i think :)

oh yeh and this is stereotyping all of it
