Backgrounds (Page 2)

umm sweetie,i was talking more about the apartheid violence and rascism prevalent,which is why a lot of groups were formed,with only race as a factor,and i being a curious aquarian,could not resist trying to find out what the fuck is on.once i almost got into trouble when a fight broke out between teenage boys of different ethnicities,i somehow got stuck and received some blows,thankfully everyone disperserd because they heard a police siren.i had to run too,otherwise they would have caught me instead,and the police here are still very notorious for their cruelty.i mean i was then hardly 6-7 years old.
and i still cannot rememebr how i got stuck there.scary experience.

Yeah Devil, I was referring to race issues too. I just tried to put it in a more PC tone 🙂 Yep when I said groups, I meant racial groups -- fights would broke out and it was one real nut-house sometimes.

Hey, there were medal-detectors installed at the entrance of my first high school, so trust me, I know what I'm talking about too 😉

LOL, cappy! Go ahead... Bring it!

There were security guards placed at both the elementry school and middle school I attended and this was in the U.S. So yeah, I understand.

alright,so we both have been there🙂
**high five**
haahaa,thankfully the dust has settled down a bit,but the tension is still very much there.there are still many burning issues regarding that.although intermingling is going on,but still,there is very long way to go.plus the debate is still on about the racial quotas here.darn it man,it makes you a bit sick at times.

I was the threat in my school lol!

o hmm,there were no metal detectors in my time,we never got to know what weapons kids carried,but yea guns were a bit rare.mostly it would be knives and such things.
but worst thing was,the police was and still is very irresponsible,and on certain occassions even the perpetrator of crimes.so it was basically a situation where there was no higher authority to go to,you had to resolve the issues on your own,and pray to god taht you'd never get into such trouble.

The city I use to live in was almost like an isolated country because the officials tried to keep much of the scum with in the city and praying that it didn't get out to the outside cities. Thats why most of the craziness happened at night 😢 The city officials had a ton to lose if any of the crap about what was going on got out. So of the surrounding cities knew about it but they didn't want to deal with it -- more underlined prejudice. However, all the stuff about my old city has been coming to the surface within the course of two years and the people don't like it at all because now they feel exposed. I'm so happy that the exposure is happening, it's just too bad it could've have happened when I was there.

LOL, you know what, I really believe you Scorpius 🙂)

I grew up with a large family, good education, middle class, my parents put much emphasis on education and money...

Sounds like my old city, its amazing how much you have in common with someone once you start talking. LOL, I probably would've never revealed this if you didn't post your message LOL.

Yeah, those police officers were more trouble then they were worth in my city, so were the city councilmen and women, those no good so and sos.

my city was a bit sheltered in comparison to others like joberg,but the joberg influence slowly crept into my city too,as its not that far from it,just a few kms difference.joberg is still very dangerous place to live or visit.random violence is the order of the day there,and believe me,after dark,if a woman dares to venture out,she is gone>>imagine the worst things to happen.

I was the threat in my school lol!



HO HO HO!😛

Just last week, the newspaper featured homicides in my old city were on the rise. So its still unsafe there, but probably not as bad as joberg but if the violence doesn't stop, it will come close.

hmm,my friends from joberg always say,'look at the brighter side,arent just so proud to be living in the most dangerous city in the whole world! livin la vida loca!'
haahaa

haahaa

I like optimism, there was never a dull moment in my old city either. When it was, it was scary because we knew someone was up to trouble.

Oopsie! Umm, we kinda high-jacked Scorpius's thread. LOL!!!! I bet he's pissed *smiles*

I've never high-jacked a thread before, I'm highly amused 🙂)

ok back to topic.
where were we again? my background! hmm.

my dad is cool,yet his crazy streak is prevalent,and expect him to bring it out on the most undesirable moments.i think i got my perverted sadistic streak from him.he used to do things like leaving us brothers outside the car when the lions were sitting just a few metres away,on a safari trip.just to see how we respond to pressure and stressful situtaions.although the lions were pretty far and i believe they couldnt give a shit about us,with all the other prey around,but still,we were poor kids!
he then opened the door and took us inside the car,after like 5-6 minutes. pooh,i just kept thinking about how to climg to the nearest tree or the car itself to myself,just in case.

Actually, you two. I was really intrested readig what you've both writen. Very entertaining and educational. I liked it.

Well said, Ms Pisces. But it takes someone to truely live it before they see it like you said. After childhood we all wish never to be poor again. America is all about rags to riches. Think of the Great Depression.

"he used to do things like leaving us brothers outside the car when the lions were sitting just a few metres away,on a safari trip"


Oh, that's terrible ... poor baby 😢

Well, Scorpius .. my parents were quite wealthy, to say the least. But, I don't see any effect it had on me whatsoever.

Yeah, my first husband comes from severe poverty .. they didn't even have running water, and when we got married, I went to live in his environment, rather than him coming to mine.

However, it didn't really have an effect on me living in those conditions because during my whole youth, mom and us kids spent our whole summers camping. So, every year for two months, since my youngest memory .. we lived in tents, cooked on a fire and peed in the woods.

I wasn't spoiled as a child, though my siblings were. My youth was quite different than most other peoples.

Sorry, MsPisces .. in hindsight, I realized that should have been hidden.

Thank you 🙂

I know I don't have any abandonment issues. However, I have emotional detachment issues.
