Cannot afford to buy or rent a house

HI, I do feel for the person with the original comment. but for the women who was unhappy about single mothers!, well can you tell me how old you are and also your child??? yes you are the one that sold your right to comment! as original post with real problems is just living normal life and has made no mistakes!!! as im sorry but if you do not see opinion that single young mothers/ statistics NOTE 47% DOLL MONEY is given to young single mothers!!! AS FOR THE PROBLEM, welltry to rent a room and im sure things will work out! ALSO IT IS SAD THAT YOUR GIVING YOUR TIME TO VERY GOOD CAUSES. THINGS WILL GET BETTER JUST CARRY ON LIKE THE REST OF USE

Hey
Your comment about single mothers is discrimnatory and unfair. I am a single mother, I have never used drugs, I work and I study as well so before you go complaining about your situation. Put a little thought into your words if you are really doing a higher education course you would have been taught about the way you write and the words you use!! If you treat the members of the community the way you have used your words no one is likely to help you.

The OP simply knows how to talk to plants. No one else listens to them. No one else believes their plight.

The OP has all his priorities wrong. Finish the dissaertation, and seek a better paid job. The current Job is valuable work experience. Get the Job offer before May and in the interim arrange other housing. House Share even the dearest Areas start about £70 per week.

We are not supporting the original poster because we don't think he/she has made any real effort at all.

I cannot see the relevance of the comments here to the original post... how bout giving this person a break and some advice.

I would give advice but I live in Australia where things like this are happening too.. except people are living in tents, that is their only option.

Britain never ever really cared for its denizens, not since the Norman conquest. Prior to that the King was elected to serve the people and the nation. After William absolute power was handed to the establishment to do whatever they willed. The peasantry soon became serfs and landless. To live thou hadst to serve thine lord. One could only survive if one gave of one's labour to the lord.

Today the "lords" could not give a damn at all. There's a surplus of serfs. The majority are alienated from the land and property. One cannot even get a job to afford to buy a sleeping bag. And the parks and heathlands are closed to one.

"Normal" people are often stressed and often end up at the doctors! I do not accept that Decency is the culprit.

It is rudeness, bad behaviour and unfairness to mention a few. What stresses me is that people seem happy to put up with stress and the resultant visit to the doctor's, instead of dealing with the causes of the stress.

If some big businessmen and women come along and tell us to live our lives a certain way, AND to accept the stress that goes with their idea's, "normal" people should be telling them to f... Off, instead of running off scared hoping that the boogey man will go away, surely?!!!!

Today you have to be crazy in order to survive, all normal people are at the doctor`s, because they can`t bear the reality. It`s too rude for them. You have to be rude and tough yourself, otherwise you will have a hard life.

I know it is fairly typical that we like people that agree with us, but I like you Don. You may also come for tea. :D

"Kids run riot and the social fabric collapses. Why are the prisons full? Why is crime at an all time high? Why, if we have all these social workers? What good do they really do?"

These questions you ask at the end are ones that you should try and research in a bit more depth.

You have some strong opinions and are strongly of the view that social workers do not help and that society's problems are the fault of do-gooders or people like this. This is a line of thought which does not stack up particularly if if you take it onto the next stage. Namely, if this type of person is so bad, why are they not rounded up and prosecuted?

I am not a social worker and have never worked in the public sector. There are some high profile disasters associated with the social worker profession, the Climbie' case, to mention one. This is one case in a line of such cases. People in the profession accept that this kind of situation will happen again! Will this be because of the way the law works and the way the profession is managed? Or will it be because social workers let cry babies run rings round them and have too much sentimentality? Sentimentality and letting people run rings around them were never cited as deficiences within the social worker profession at the Climbie' enquiry.

Instead management ignorance, incompetence, (note - not sentimentality) and neglect by medical staff, the police and social workers were given as the main reasons.

We're a bit off track in terms of this gripe, but ignorance is never far away where bad behaviour or incompetence are concerned. Rudeness is rarely anything other than an ignorant reaction. The griper knows what's coming in April. All he/she did was ask a question and you thought, as did a few others, that abuse or a rude shock was the answer. It clearly isn't and if anything will be self-destructive in the end. You are free to waste your time though.

Why are the prisons full?

- Probably because people like you got angry and lashed out, or took what you 'deserved'.

Why is crime at an all time high?

- Probably because people like you see no need to maintain social niceties and respect.

Why if (i assume 'do') we have all these social workers?

- Probably because people like you are bullies that force what you want at the cost of others.

What good do they really do?

- They try and make people like you realise that not every one is a bully and that being a bully is not the way to solve problems, it’s the way to cause them.

Being polite doesn’t cost you anything and it can gain you a lot.

I deserve your respect because I am a person.

I am not asking you for anything other that advice.

I already work and I already pay tax.

I don’t have to PROVE my self to you, I don’t have to earn anyone’s respect, and I don’t have to be rude in order to make myself feel better.

I was being serious about that tea though.

I think you need someone to be nice to you so you can see what it looks like.
