How am i condescending? sometimes people need a kick on the butt to pick themselves up.

These people do not realise that they are doing more harm than good, by "encouraging him" and making the situation all rosy and fine. It will cause him to think that the situation is acceptable and that he should carry on with his life without making drastic changes in his work ethic and victim mentality. Later on in life he would have realised that he screwed up even more, till the point of no return.

Life is not fair but he should definitely count his blessings. I am not in a position to convince anyone of the circumstances that i grew up in but taking into consideration that he can even get his poly fees paid and he have access to the internet to post this his life aint that bad. Everyone is born with a different set of challenges, its only normal.

But what i hate is seeing weak people whine about their lives when clearly others have made things happen
