I worked quite a few min. wage jobs not so long ago so I know exactly what you’re talking about. Not only do they assume you’re not smart, but that you are not motivated, to boot. I decided quite a while ago that there could only be three courses of action in this regard: 1. Quit. This isn’t a good option because I’d just have to get another minimum wage job. 2. Strike Back. Just let people know through confrontation or back-handed sarcasm that you are, in fact, smarter than they. This will ultimately lead to a variation of option number 1, you’ll get fired. 3. Ignore them. If you know they’re going to judge you and your life circumstances prevent you from avoiding the issue, why react to them at all? Being angry at home or work isn’t going to make you feel any better. You know you’re smart and you know they’re judging you without getting to know you. It’s a fact of life. There’s no reason for it to bring you down. Josh

I’m all for manners and treating women kindly. However, the Political Correct garbage with which we are constantly bombarded makes it increasingly difficult to know when it’s ok to be gentlemanly.
Opening a door for a woman can get you in trouble today. Suddenly, you are insinuating that women are too weak to open a door for themselves. Or that by opening a door for a woman a man is in some way comming on to her or expecting something in return.
I always assume that the average person is ok with a bit of chivalry here and there, but I can see where men my age, who are definitely concerned with how they’re viewed by others, might react poorly to the, ‘feminazis,’ (sorry to quote Rush, but it’s the only thing he’s ever said of which I approve).
Having said that, I don’t like to be taken for granted. My girlfriend and I had some words when we approached a door and she stood quietly in front of it waiting for me to open it. I had been distracted by a conversation with a friend and was looking at him instead.

Nevertheless, I wore t-shirts when swimming because I felt that I had to look like the men on TV. It didn’t take too long for me to realise how harmful it was, and stopped to rebel. Mostly, I felt that though I was not fat, I was still not physically attractive.

But at your age it is a big deal, especially to your parents. The problem is that between the ages of 15 and 20 there is a lot to learn, and a lot of changes occure between these years. Personally, at the age of 16, I was mentally unable to approach or really cope with girls on any kind of dating level. However, buy the age of 18, I was WAY ready to date. This applies to you because you may be at a point where you’re only comfortable making out with your boyfriend, but he’s ready for oral sex or intercourse. There will not be as big a difference between two relatively mature adults.

Just try not to sound condescending. It’s easy to do these quick, helpful things. I’m not disabled physically, but I still appreciate some one taking even a moment to think about me instead of themselves. I can only imagine that most people with disabilities would feel the same way.

Well it’s true. Most people that come from poor families stay poor. It’s easy to say that everyone can go to college and get a job: especially if your parents can afford to send you to college. I rarely hear this argument from people raised in lower middle class or poor families. We know what it’s like to be broke and struggling constantly. Ultimately, it comes down to the cause of so many Racial/Ethnic/Sex/Gender/Religious misconceptions: ignorance. I don’t use ‘ignorance’ with the negative conotation that most people use it today. Ignorance simply implies that there is a lack of knowledge on a given subject or set of circumstances. It’s hard to feel empathy for some one who’s situation one can hardly comprehend. So, if you want a real answer to your question, got talk to some homeless people.
