50 is nice congratulations you spoilt lucky ****er. (im jealous yes).
i doubt ill get much off my parents for xmas as im 17 now and got my own job and probably just get one main thing. more than likely to be driving lessons or something along them lines.
by the way the fact that at 16 you were only working weekends is a crap excuse. while i was in college was working 30-40 hours in mcdonalds. pulling double shifts on the weekend such as 7am until 11pm (open-close) and working week nights 5 until 11 if you really worked hard you could get good money.
Look I dunno who you are, or who you think you are.. but college and 6th form are completely different things...
I'm not saying I'm higher than anyone who didn't get into 6th form, but the workload I get in 6th form is a lot higher than any of my mates in college have gotten, the work I've done in the past week will probably add up to the same amount as what they'll do in the next 1-2 months... maybe even more.
I spend about 1-2 hours each night going through past work I have done, and going back through anything I haven't understood, if I have homework/coursework I can sometimes spend up to 4 hours altogether. Call me a geek or a nerd if you will, but it's working hard like that which will get me a better job than the likes of you.
Plus, in all honesty, I'd rather eat my own feet as an excuse than work in McDonalds, don't think I've ever seen anybody who works there who has a true aspect of what REAL life is, sure it's a side job, but I say, you start there you work there... personal preference there, other people may have different beliefs, but that's what I think.
From what I've seen you took ICT in college? correct? if not, I'm sorry. Sure, you're studying for one subject... I'm studying 4 subjects and one of them is Applied, meaning I'll get two A-Levels for it, English, Sociology, Physical Education and Applied ICT. I hope you get where I'm going with this.
Sorry for the full on novel of a reply, but stuff like that really gets my back up, talking to me as if I'm below you. Seriously if anybody is below anyone here, it's you. I haven't seen a person on here yet who likes you and all you have to say is bad, unreasonable, unruly and overall spastic replies to anything anybody says which you don't agree with. You speak before you think. Open your mind a bit.
What I'm trying to say is, I work as hard as I can, I KNOW that... and whether you think I can do more or not has got absolutely nothing to do with you, I'm me, you're not. You call yourself a human? I'm ashamed to be part of your race.
