yeah, they do have self confidence for not caring what others think about them. that's something i wish i had also, not caring what others think so much.

btw, whereabouts in WI are you? i'm in wi too.

Many people in my world judge each other on what they wear I know a person whos parents are on food stamps and they dress fine and make good impressions but they also dont shop at wal mart

She asked what I meant by lazy.

You people just don't see the world. Trust me. Even though I am 12 I can guarantee you that I have a lot more of a look on the world than you. So lets just drop this. *click*

LIZZY! Who put that stick up your butt!?!?!?!?!?

Now there's nothing wrong with people wearing their pajamas in public. Nothing wrong with it. Even some of the most successful people wear pajamas to the grocery store and places. Nothing wrong with that. Oh and what exactly makes you think you have a lot more of a look on the world? 'cause I'm just dying to know.

Get. Off. Your. Pedestal.

I? Am 16. My mother works 70-80 hours a week in a city that is 100 miles from my home. I see her on weekends. My dad is an alcoholic and a smoker. I have lost all my grand parents and great grand parents but one due to some form of cancer or heart disease. My uncle is gay and has been ex-communicated by everyone in my family but me. I am bisexual and cannot come out to my family for fear of the same happening to me. I am an aunt who will probably never see my nephew because my sister resents me because my dad divorced her mom. My brother won't even speak to me anymore. I haven't seen either of them in 7 years. I am closer to my bus driver and my history teacher than I am to anybody in my family. I self harm because sometimes it's what keeps me alive and sane. I have been suicidal. I have read over 500 books in my lifetime. I can speak at a conversational level in two languages and I understand enough of nearly 7 more to get by if I were ever in those countries. I have watched friends drink their lives away and be killed in car crashes. I've sat by unaware as a friend slips closer to death. I've been to three funerals for people under the age of 18. Two of them were the result of suicides. I can probably talk circles around you on the topics of the genocide in Darfur, the military dictatorship in Burma, the civil war in Rwanda, the nuclear energy crisis in the Middle East, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, gay marriage and equal civil liberties, illegal immigration (tell me, what's your stance on Mexicans crossing the border? I'd love to hear it), global warming, the oil crisis, the current presidential election and each major candidate, and even on the topic of Hugo Chavez and the current conflict with Venezuela. I have been sexually harrassed by people I once considered friends as well as my boyfriend. I have been cheated on and watched the boy that cheated on my have a child with his mistress. I have kept the only relationship that I thought I had a shot at succeeding in from my parents because it was with another girl. I have gone through bomb threats and gun scares. Police dog searches, lockdowns (not drills, actual lockdowns), school fires, befriending people only to have them become muderers. I have seen the dark side of people. I have seen the greed. I have been called a heathen and a stupid little girl because of my beliefs.

Do. Not. Tell me. That you have. A better view on the world than I do. Or even a better one than Shelby. Because. You're. Wrong.


Anyway.

I avoid Wal*Mart at all costs because of the fact that they get their clothes from sweat shops in China and Bangladesh and various other Asian/African/Middle Eastern/South American/Caribbean/Central American countries/cities that pay their workers as little as a penny a day. They do not subscribe to fair trade, they are in it for the fact that they're making an economic profit. I go to Wal*Mart only to print pictures because it's the only place in town with a Kodak Picture Maker.

I'd get into Thoreau's viewpoints, but my hands are cold and numb because I'm trying to conserve heat in my basement (tryin to ease the effects of global warming).

I applaud you so much for your post. Words cannot describe.

 

[pigletgirl]

I'm embarrassed to go. Its because I don't want to be in the same class of people that do go to Walmart.

That rubbed me the wrong way. Everyone is human and is to be treated the same, whether you make 10,000 or 100,000 dollars a year. BTW, I found a bathing suit there once, and its the ONLY one that hasn't fallen apart like the others from other places. My family has plenty of money, but we still shop there.

 

[Pirate Me]

I don't know about you guys...but I LOVE going out in my pajamas. It's so comfortable....
It's not because I don't feel like getting dressed because I would. It's for comfort.
At basketball 9AM on Saturdays [I don't go anymore though...] we used to wear our pajamas there ALL the time.

 

[pigletgirl]

well the people that go their, when you think about it, are mostly welfare type people.

well, I'm sorry. I am. But it is the truth. Well, at least here it is. IDK maybe at your Walmart it is different, but at mine it is just WOW.

One day you'll appreciate walmart -- maybe when your in college?
And do you think people who are on welfare, choose to live that way? I can tell you it isn't fun, and its a huge struggle for them. Maybe be a bit more kind?

Count your blessings, because you never know what tomorrow could bring. Money isn't readily available.

I didn't go through the entire post, but what you said about the PJ's thing....I wear jammies to all of my morning classes!!! There is no way I'm going to doll myself up just to go sit in a lecture hall. People could give a rats *** as to what I'm dressed in.

Oh yeah, baby.

I just don't see the point of dressing up to go out to blockbuster, or walmart, etc.

 

[pigletgirl]

As long as my hair is brushed, and I don't stink, its all good!

You're in college right, Emily?

I can't wait to start. Nothin' better than studying history in PJ's with your starbucks next to you. =)))

 

[::Snow_White::]

Oh and I have to comment about the excitment I have with Walmart.
We go to Walmart...and use ALOT of coupons. [My mom has been going coupon crazy lately. So she'll be going with coupons for...probably the rest of her life]
My mother saved 60 bucks last week on groceries there....
And guess where the extra money went?
WDW FUND! DD
Heck yes I'm going to Walmart with Coupons!

Sorry. I'm excited...about more WDW money.
Had to share.

I can't wait till college either.

 

[Pirate Me]

I do like Wal*Mart...but it's actually really far from where I live. D: All we have is Target.

Why would you be afraid to see your friends in your pj's?

 

[disneydance]

Why would you be afraid to see your friends in your pj's?

Well thats not me like if i'm at a friends house or at my house thats fine but at the store i would look lazy and like i didnt care about what i wear

 

[pigletgirl]

Yep, I'm in college.

[Pirate Me]

PJs are pants with patterns.
