Okay, so i just watched this. It's heartbreaking to still see children grow up in the same conditions i did. It's the 21st centry for fuck sake. Children shouldn't have to go without meals, heating or electricity. The worst thing is the government know about it, they KNOW how living BELOW the poverty line is, do they care? Obviously not.

I'm not talking about the latest trainers or name brand clothes. When your shoes are falling apart and you're playing out in the same shoes you wear for school ... When you're wearing the wrong uniform. When you can't have breakfast because your mom can't afford it.

Money's tight but ... when money has ALWAYS been tight and it's getting tigher...
Where can you turn ?
Everyone looks down on you because of the lack of money you have ... It's no wonder
poor kids feel alone, right?

Why is it fair a 7 year old knows how much everything costs and how little their family make ?
To know they'll probably never escape the council flats, damp, druggies and crime?

In my house there's 12 people living in a three bedroom house. Three of those are under 4 years.
I's full of damp & mould. No one has their own space. Everyone fights. It's not healthy the way we're expected to live. It's not ... fair.
From an early age i'd realise nothing is fair in this world.
You're judged on your level of class.
The way you talk.
The way you dress.

It's easy to just say ' get a job' but ... if you've got children and two children with health issues...
How is it possible.
Urgh i didn't wanna turn this into a 'everyone pity the poor' blog but fuck it, it is.

No one deserves to be living in poverty.
If we could change it, we would.

In November 2010 the UK came 18th out of 22 countries ranked by UNICEF for child poverty, only Slovakia , Poland , Hungary and Italy were lower.

Fuck the cuts.

Not gunna lie. Being at the Anti-Cuts protest. This is … woi. Only song that really covers how i feel today. The fact that i’ve got into multiple arguements with small minded upper class people that aren’t going to be affected by the cuts at ALL ( one of which is in the Army ).

I have MANY reasons to be at the protest and express my views, education cuts, beneifit cuts, job cuts… even the NHS ( If that can even get cut more) The fact we STILL fund the war ! HOW FUCKING MUCH DO WE SPEND ON THE ARMY?! WARS!? & they’ll take benefits away from vunerable people!?

Coaltion Government!? That just means double the scum poison being spread about.

Oh and don’t listen to what the News papers say.. that’s all bollocks. If you want to even try and have an oppion on the protests… don’t read and judge. Come out. Voice YOUR opinion …

EMA

Okay i think i speak for every working class kid in England when i say this ;;

EMA helps me at college, alot. I'm at college doing an Art course and it's pretty expensive, i mean the materials... i go through pencils, pens & sketchbooks like they're nothing & it's all to do with my coursework. My college doesn't provide all the things needed so i have to use EMA for that. WHY take away something so essential like that ? How can i carry on with a course i CAN'T afford ? Clegg, you lied to us ( Always knew you would). You proved politicians don't care about US. You're destroying this country....


You really didn't think this one through.
Prick.

Underdogs.

Okay i've been meaning to write about this ages.

This subject has pissed me off for many, many years but now... why is it right for Johnny Depp
to be paid 75MILLION to act in 'Pirates of the Carribean' but Live Aid 1985 only raised 40 million? Look how many people Live Aid helped & Johnny Depp made that through a few films! I was talking to a priest the other day and he said it's WRONG to buy 'The Big Issue', they'll only buy beer or drugs. Okay to sell 'The big issue' you HAVE to be clean otherwise you can't officially work for them. It's a fact. Yeah. you say ' give to the big charities' BUT ... HOW is that helping the nice man selling ' the big issue' outside ASDA? How is that making him able to buy dinner? Oh no, wait, it's not. What are the chances of HIM directly being helped ? I'd much rather give him a few quid for a magazine i'll read on my bus home then give it to an actual charity? Now if i had millions to give away (like mr. Depp) i'd definatly give alot to charitys but i'd still give to the lovely man outside ASDA, i'm not sure if this is making any sence but i can't believe people get paid that much to just star in a film or play a football match when people are living on the streets. Fucking gets depressing when you think about it. I don't know anyone that likes being homeless. Some hostals have rules, they wont take people for sexuality or religion? It's horrific to think people are driven to that ammount of poverty and people aren't doing as much as they could. Fuck it; money isn't everything. You don't have to give cash. No, food. Food you're not gunna eat. Tins in your cupboard that you WON'T eat & they'll stay there for months, untouched. Quite a few places collect food for the homeless, soup kitchens do too!
Think what you'd do if you were in their possition?!

Shit

I feel shit. Im writing a blog about me yes. Fucking judge.
Why does everyone feel the need to involve themselves in my life?
Fair enough have your opinions but please. You're nobody keep them to yourself.
I really couldn't give a shit anymore. I'm done with pretending i care what you say.
Does nobody ever stop & think what its like the be told a billion different things at once?
The ONE good thing to happen to me in months and you turn it into rubbish. It's not like
i've got a billion things to be happy about is it ?! So you choose to ruin the one thing i had.
Grrr. it's a real shame that you'll read this and again tell me your shitty views about my life...AGAIN.

I told you i had things to sort out in my head before i could even begin to understand what's going on and you still push & push bleh.

Just remember that when you're happy in your sad excuse of a relationship.

Mate you failed

Education in England is the law, right? So why do we have to pay for uni ? Surely England should be encouraging the ''youth of today'' to be who ever they want to be and putting tuition fees to a maximum of £9,000 a year is just... stupid. How can they expect people would be okay with that ? On average it takes 11 years to become a doctor ? Thats like what £99,000 ... IS ALL THAT DEBT worth that job ? I mean i'm seriously not cussing anyone that'd put themselves in that much debt to become a doctor ... i'd just not prefer to be paying of uni debts for the rest of my life. Okay i didn't really want to go to uni but theres always been something in the back of my mind saying i'd enjoy it but now ... i wouldn't ever go to uni. I think the rise in tuition fees will just make people less likey to consider going to university which will in turn lower the amount of Doctors/Nurses/Lawyers... even politions. The debt just isn't worth the job.

Clegg i hope you're happy.

God

Last year i was banned from a Baptist church for simply asking a few questions.

I asked why did people worship someone that let innocent babies die? Good people suffer &
the bad live happily?

He said that 'Satan' did all the bad in the world & god can't always over power him...

Well why cant he beat 'Satan' ? Why does 'Satan' constantly win ? I'm not saying we should all abandon our faiths but has nobody ever thought about it ? Why are we supposed to worship someone that can't over power the bad in life? Maybe 'god' isn't who we're supposed to be worshipping?
