All of my life I have felt like I was treated unfairly. Whether it was my personal life,life at work,at school or just out in public. I have always felt like I was taken advantage of and that I had stupid written on my forehead or something. I have been cheated on in relationships and taken for granted in my jobs. Why is it that some people have to go through this in life? When I look back now I remember other kids picking at me in school and making fun of me because my family was poor. Sometimes I still feel like people are looking down on me. I have always treated other people good and always been an easy going person. Maybe that has been my problem I was to easy. I have always tried to stand up for what I believe in. Of course I never held this against my parents. Money is not everything and you can't buy love and happiness. I know I did not make enough money to provide my family with the finer things in life. I often wonder if they hold that against me. I have often wondered if I was judged because of my dark skin I believe my mother endured a lot of hate because she was so dark skinned. It is sad that our world is this way. I know life is what you make it but sometimes there are blocks in the way to keep you from making it a good life. There can be a lot of obstacles to overcome in life. I think some people just get tired and give up on life.
