THERE ARE 2 TYPES OF WOMEN IN THIS WORLD: THOSE WHO ARE PRINCESSES, AND THOSE WHO DON'T REALIZE THEY ARE PRINCESSES. UNFORTUNATELY, AS A HUMAN SERVICES CASEWORKER (PUBLIC AID) I SEE WAY MORE OF THE LATTER, THAN THE FORMER. I HAVE MANY CLIENTS WHO HAVE 3, 4, OR SOMETIMES 5 OR MORE "BABY DADDIES", AND HAVE NO SUPPORT FROM EITHER OF THEM. IN FACT, I HAVE ONE CLIENT WHO IS 24 YEARS OLD, WITH 6 CHILDREN, ALL BY DIFFERENT FATHERS. MOST OF THEM DON'T HAVE A HS DIPLOMA, AND SOME OF THEM HAVE ONLY COMPLETED 8TH GRADE. IT IS MY RESPONSIBILITY AS THEIR CASEWORKER TO HELP THEM GET THEM THE TRAINING AND EDUCATION SO THAT THEY MAY BECOME SELF-SUFFICIENT, AND NOT HAVE TO RELY COMPLETELY ON PUBLIC AID. I ALSO MAKE IT MY PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TO LET EACH AND EVERY ONE OF THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE PRINCESSES, AND THAT THEY ARE THE "SHIZNIT" http://www.greekchat.com/forums/ubb/wink.gif I HAVE HAD TO PEEL AWAY MANY LAYERS OF DISRESPECTFUL BOYFRIENDS, ABUSIVE RELATIONSHIPS, AND LOW (MOSTLY NO) SELF-ESTEEM, BUT IT'S TRULY WORTH IT. I BELIEVE THAT IN ORDER TO BE SUCCESSFUL AT ANYTHING,(LIFE, LOVE, EDUCATION, WHATEVER), YOU MUST FIRST REALIZE YOUR SELF WORTH. IF YOU DON'T KNOW YOU'RE THE "SHIZNIT", NO ONE ELSE WILL!

Why can't we all just get along? I think this began as a cute thread. Why does drama always have to enter the mix? If you don't like the thread or something posted, it's ok to say so but you don't have to attack folks. Or, you can keep your comments to yourself.

What one person may deem BOASTFUL, others may not. It may be used as an example, which is what I had to do (so sorry if I offended anyone).
