i need to join this one...

as some of you may know i live in the south, and racism down here really stinks. believe me. i'm not racist; but my mom is. and my exboyfriend, who she made me break up with, is black. i really really like Derick, but now if i even talk to him my mom comes down on me, saying if i go out with him "people will look down on me"

this has me very depressed; why can't people have the innocence of a little child when it comes to these things?


I just added you to our list! :)

Hmm... it would be far too easy if everyone would like everyone without any prejudices... Sometimes this depresses me as well, just if I hear people talk bad about other cultures or lands. But somehow I never have the courage to argue with them.

it pains me to think that i'll probably live in a racist world my whole life... maybe my grandchildren will have it better...

I hate people being prejudiced against other for pointless reasons. Black people are very beautiful and I don't see a reason why we shouldn't respect them. Being black doesn't mean being dumb or less worthy. I hate to see people treated badly beacuse of their race or looks.

^ Same here! I don't understand it anyways how anyone can only think that people with different skin colour would be less worthy.

Well, that's a problem in the whole world... Everywhere you'll find people with prejudices. That's what depresses me so much, you cannot escape!

exactly.

that's why i'd rather not think about it and just go out the Derick because i like him; not be dragged into this whole mess.

I think it's all about politics and history; past and the slaves, but I can't really say anything as I've never been to South USA

Yeah, same here. It goes back pretty far, though. If you think about it people have been prejudiced against each other for...like...a long time. Forever, really. And it's everywhere, you can't escape it.

That's horrible to imagine, and it is reality! That makes it even worse! I really wish that this word prejudice doesn't exist!

Hmmm. Would you mind adding me to the list? My claim to be depressed: Parents like my other siblings better, they told me so. I don't want pity, just my stated claim.

Of course I'll add you!

They claim to like your other siblings better? Wow, that must hurt! I'm sorry! :hug:

Sorry for dubble post, but I need a cheer up... I can't really express in words how I feel right now, and somehow it's weird because it's no new problem, but it still is able to make me cry... One of my friends was in coma for a while and now he isn't able to go to school... well, he'll come back again in January, hopefully... He couldn't attend school from September on and I really miss him. I haven't seen him now for half a year, and that never happened before... I know him now for 12 years, we weren't always best friends but at least we had contact... I miss him so much!

But he's waken from coma right? Is there any chance that you'd go and visit him?

Yes, I can visit him. And he's also awake from coma... that's why it is so strange that I suddenly got that depressed today!
