I feel that I have fallen behind in life and I tbh blame my parents. Both my parents came from a nice part of London suburbia and went to university. They were both "left wing rebels" though and instead of going into well paid areas like the families they grew up in, decided to become teachers and moved up north to get away from London and their families, which is where I grew up. The city I grew up in is mostly working class and rough and the school I went to was utterly terrible, it was next to an estate and full of nasty chavs and girls getting pregnant at 16 etc. I was bullied and looking back my friends were embarassing, only one or two went to uni, a few are learning trades and some are doing nothing and basically unemployed. My parents both went to far better schools than me and speak properly and tbh I really resent that. I have a northern accent that I can't seem to shake off which I feel has held me back. I got endless nasty comments about it at uni. Even worse, my parents never enrolled me in anything outside school so I never socialised properly. As a result, I barely adapted to university and hardly made any friends there, although I managed to graduate. I graduated two years ago and have found a graduate level job but I still find relating to middle class people hard and getting a girlfriend from that social class impossible because I lack confidence, sound chavvy and having gone to school with chavvy people my manners are comparably terrible. I don't want to go out with working class girls. sorry. I want to go out with girls from good universities who speak properly. I told my mum all this recently and she started shouting at me saying I was ungrateful. Really I am just massively angry with my parents about their decisions to be honest.
