This questioin is to liss?

Question

how dare you say that everyone brought up on council estates are lowlifes, i was brought up on a council estate and i was taught manners and to be kind to people, not all bad come from council estates ,what you forget some people are born in to money, not everyone has rich parents, my mum and dad worked very hard and gbrought us up well, you were probably born with a silver spoon in your mouth, you are one utter snob.

Answer 1

i was bought up on a council estate and I am trash. I am a product of the Jeremy kyle generation that lives for jobseekers allowance, prides myself on staying in bed till 2, shoplifting at netto and wearing nike air tracksuit pants.

My point is that this is the profile people like to belive. Its bull. maybe if people took the time to speak to others less fortunate they might realise this isn't true.

Answer 2

It's utter nonsense.I was brought up in a council house, a really nice one with lovely big rooms, one with a back, front and long side garden.It was so nice my parents bought it.Six children were well brought up in it and I was privately educated through my secondary level.My next door neighbours were a policeman and a maths teacher.They too bought their houses.

Idiots who make sweeping generalisations like that are obviously not aware of the true facts.

Answer 3

Well said. I was brought up on a council estate too, my parents werent rich but I was taught manners and to respect people. Where I live now its the children of the posh ones that cause all the problems (drunk out of their heads, nicking cars etc).

Answer 4

yeah innit!!!!

Answer 5

I agree, whoever said that needs a reality check

I live on a council estate now, no it's not the greatest place in the world but I don't care

I have a 2 year old son, I work and have a nice home

People can say what they want about so called council estate scum, doesn't bother me in the slightest because I know it's not true of many

Answer 6

I also agree with you and well said, I used to have a very nice house in a good area through no fault of my own life has changed for me, I now live in a council house and have done for the past 7 years. I have 2 adult children who both have very good jobs in fact one of them, my daughter has a degree and is doing very well and has bought her own house. Where I live there are a lot of well educated people but there are some who are like the stereotype that some others refer to as scum, these type of people can also be found in others area's which some may call nice. Where I live now the people are friendly and goodhearted as I found out when I was ill. Maybe this person called liss would class me as one of those scum as I am on incapacity benefit which through having strokes and hyponatremia has made me unfit for work as nobody would employ me due to safety and insurance. I can't help that I have had these health problems and would gladly change places for one of the so called benefit scroungers. So to liss I say think on as I never in a million years thought my life would be the way it is, it could be YOU in the future. I am happy where I live in my beautiful little home and know if I needed help someone would come to my aid can the same be said of all areas NO.

edit; sorry it is so long

Answer 7

Angela

Sorry, I missed the posting you are talking about by "liss"

I also grew up on a council estate, the families there are every bit as polite and caring as anywhere I have been since.

Answer 8

Who was this creature? I know a lot of people who were brought up and still live in council estates. There is a general perception that if you're poor you must be from the criminal elements and ill bred, this is not true. Social and housing in the UK does need some improvement, and those awful tower flat blocks should go but overall their nice communities and people get on well.  As to rich or posh thick tarts as I call em, you have to remember that most are like judges and live in their own reality of utopia where we all all subservient.

Answer 9

Very well said Angela.

Answer 10

If the truth be known, I would imagine that some 90% of the people on here were born in a council house.

The problem only occurs on 'sink estates' where families who have a poor employment record or are constantly in arears with their rent an such like are lumped together.

The incidence of these type of estates is rare, but it is those estates that grab the headlines.

I sympathise with you and all those who are tarred with the same brush.
