Excellent points. I've had the same thing happen to me for a long time, because I'm in my late 30s.

Just the other day, some eejit who apparently went to school with me -- I didn't recognize him --said, "Shut up, ST -- your name is ST, ennit?" when I screamed at a woman who was parked illegally in a handicapped space.

I'm not making nice to those who drink 40-ouncers and loiter on the corner. I made my choice back in high school -- concentrate on becoming educated and keep my legs closed. Today, because I followed that plan, I've got a degree and can meet my basic needs. I'm not particularly affluent by SoCal standards, but I dress and act like it.

You took the words RIGHT out of my mouth (except that I'm only 20yrs old)...I always get told that I "talk like a white girl"--whatever that is supposed to mean exactly. Growing up I was always teased b/c I spoke correct English, did not frolic around with the guys around the hood, and maintained good grades while being extremely pretty at the same time!!! Plain and simple...while they're using all their energy talking about me, I am spending my energy studying hard so I can achieve all my dreams...

I've figured out that people are just HATERS!!!!!
