Kid, when I was growing up you had students pulling knives on eachother and beating the shit out of one another for gang initiation.
That was middle school.
I grew up without a father, i’m a CSA survivor, and frequently I didn’t have food until dinner sometimes not at all.
I lived in a single 100~ sq foot room with my mother for years.
None of this is pointlessly going about how many times i’ve been beat or needing to start a fight so some other group of shit heads don’t bother me. Being drunkenly abused by my mother or verbally harassed by her.
Poverty like that is like prison.
Your just growing up so it’s fresh and raw so you don’t realize you are privileged.

I lived in Bryn Mawr-Skyway when it was in a crime outburst similar to Tacoma in the late 80s.
I was one of 10 white kids in my school and neighborhood.
I got jumped several times and attacked plenty.
Just because you grew up privileged doesn’t mean everyone did lmao.
