I go to private school, and i like it but my parents forbit me to talk to kids that dont go to private school. I will NOT disobey my parents but whenever i ask them why they say that it is not to be spoken of. Maybe they think theyre all on drugs. For some reason they hate poor people, too. Is this normal?!
Your parents sound like asshole elitists. They think that they are better than people who aren't as well off as them financially.
As far as them not allowing you to talk to public school kids, they are doing what is best in their mind to keep you safe and happy. They are right in trying to protect you, but they are completely wrong in how they are going about it.
There is nothing different between public school kids and private school kids apart from the size of their parents bank account. By doing this they are insulting us middle class people who happened to go to public school, and they are completely wrong. The biggest parties and the most drugs I ever saw in high school where from the rich private school kids, and their mommy's and daddy's that were on vacation never had any idea!
By the way, you are disobeying your parents right now. Almost everyone on this web sight went to public school, and you are talking to us.
I'd like to respond, but I wouldn't want to go against your parent's wishes.
You're parents are b1tches. Just because we go to public school doesnt mean we smoke weed, or are poor. My family is in good financial condition, I do no drugs, and I get straight A's. By the way, tell those spoiled morons that they should give you more freedom.
I used to go to public school and trust me.. I understand why they might feel that way.
Depends where you live.

I've been in 4 private schools and 2 public schools.
I actually got a better education in a public high school than any of the private schools I was previously in could ever have given me.
The school was actually better controlled with less drugs and violence than the private schools too.
The private schools put up with whatever shit you may cause and grade you generously because they just want your parents' money, whereas the public school operated according to the national education standard and was strict on discipline.

I'm not saying all private schools are bad, just that the ones I went to were not as good as the public schools in my area.
i go to public school, im not on drugs, im not anything like what your parents have described and neither are the majority of people i know, im not stupid either im going to university to become a psychologist in September which is alot better than some of my friends who go to a private school, some of them havnt even gotten in to university and more of them are on drugs because they dont appreciate anything as theyve been given it all to them by their parents.
That's fucked up and prejudiced. Not all kids in public schools are poor, some of them are very rich. This is insane. Ask them individually, if not then ask their parents. Surely your grandparents don't share this view too?
You're going to have to say what country you're from because public and private school mean complete opposites in different places.
I thought so because of the "forbit" thing, but I didn't like to jump to conclusions. I guess I'd have been one of the kids your parents wouldn't have wanted you speaking to. I guess your parents are trying to protect you, but giving you a cage you can't roam outside of is a bit like conserving tigers at a zoo, rather that in their natural habitat.
Another point; you can't judge whether someone is worth knowing by looking at their bank statements each year. People aren't a business to invest in.
