look. when someone has wealthy parents, private tutors, a warm house, a quiet environment for studying, a comfortable environment for studying and plenty of room for “failure” because they always have their parents’ money as an option…….i just don’t think the academic achievements of such a person are all that impressive. sorry
not sorry actually. i hope all rich students know they will never be as groundbreaking, intelligent or hard-working as they think they are. i hope they feel so much guilt for the poor students whose opportunities they have belittled or straight-up stolen. and i hope they start caring more about helping and listening to people more unfortunate than them and less about those people refusing to applaud them for their meaningless academic successes
it’s interesting to me how a lot of rich people in the notes assume i’m posting this with the purpose of elevating my or other poor people’s successes in comparison to theirs, while in actuality…i made this post in frustration, knowing that i and so many others can simply not succeed due to our circumstances. you read this and feel offended? i had to spend my childhood and adolescence with people, not just around me, but on tv and the internet, bombarding me with success stories of rich kids, expected to idolize their “hard work”, expected to accept that they were beacons of intelligence and knowing that i could never be like them.
i’ve been called bitter and jealous a bunch of times due to this post and i’m like…duh. of course i’m bitter. of course i’m jealous. if you saw others treating what for you is survival as a chance to show off and be showered with praise then you would be too.
shut the fuck up for once and listen.
