Chav people - should we just cut them some slack?

It's mysterious how all these alleged academic pursuits you have didn't translate into exam success isn't it! Your hobbies include taking meth round the side of Tescos and fathering illegitimate children more like.

Chav people are on the bottom of the rung, but since there is, always has been, and will be different personalities in the world, should we just cut them some slack and accept they exist?

I dislike, even despise, most chav-like people on sight, but I reckon that people will be people. I think most people here dislike chavs since it was/is chav-like people who harassed them/bullied them in school. The fact is in every society there are people who cause trouble or who make mischief. such is life.

Different types of people believe in different things that are cool. Chavs for example, think that dropping out of school, having many different relationships (and then a pregnancy or abortion a lot of the time), smoking, drugs, intimidating people because it seems to be funny etc. They think this is cool, they get respect for this.

Nothing good comes off what they do. They have completely different priorities to others. For example, with regards to education. Chavs and their parents will say, if they fail an exam, it's the schools fault because they didn't teach them properly, and they don't take into account how many times the child disrupted the class or how many times they couldn't be arsed to do work. Other parents, if their child failed an exam, would firstly, not let it happen, and secondly, if it did, make sure that its retaken, the child revises etc. It's the same for sex ed. "My child got pregnant due to the lack of sex ed in school" ...Use a condom, it's not a difficult message. You see this a lot in Jeremy Kyle and all those other shows.

They tell us, those that try hard at school, and make something of ourselves the "stuck up boffins" or whatever....and we all know, that later on, we are the ones that are going to be supporting them as they take our tax on the dole.

We don't cut them slack, we get rid of them.

They are usually working class....Not just as a coincidence I don't think, I think it's more the way they are brought up, council house, as in their parents don't work, so no work ethic is instilled in them. A lot of them also have one parent, and usually no father figure to keep them on the straight and narrow. Because they have parents who they can't really look up to.

CHAVs - Council Housed And Violent

Nothing wrong with council houses, but I won't give anyone some slack if they're violent.

Enough said.

Therefore people are bad people if they wear tracksuit bottoms and are lower class? That is the stupidest thing i've ever heard.

Most chavs don't think they are chavs. As can be seen by the "I wear Nike trackies but I'm definitely not a chav" comments people in this thread have made. And a 'higher class area' of Peckham or some other scummy area is still chavvy, so....
