Do you see them? I have been talking to one of my old friends from army cadets and shes been filling me in on everyone and i cannot believe how some of my friends have turned out!
I had 8 close friends, 2 have a kid, one has 2 kids, and another one has 3 kids. One is now a nurse, and the others are in 'normal' jobs after dropping out of Uni
I just can't believe it!

What's so unbelievable?
Most of the people I was friends with in school are either in prison or dead

Some of the people that I have bumped into from my school have ended up in prison, dropping out of uni, gay, really really fat after they used to bully me with 3 year old kids and married.
It is crazy. And I'm only 20!
Makes me feel a bit more normal.

All of the mates I have seen from school whilst driving / shopping are either complete scum, pregnant/has kids or still at college. Im guessing the others are also all in prison.. Wouldn't surprise me for 1 second

Haha. I don't have a drug problem. I have no kids. I haven't been in prison.
Not normal as theres no such thing as normal. But I know what I mean.

Just because she has 3 kids and lives in a council house doesn't mean she's miserable. I doubt she has to work for anything and pay for stuff like you do tbh

I joined on that bebo thing & was amazed by how many people have got married, had multiple kids, turned gay in 7 years ive been at school. Some of them make my life seem quite dull
Oh & I only joined up because one of them had committed suicide.......wanted to find out what happened.

I wouldn't want to be stuck in a council house on a crap estate with 3 kids at 21.
So I do feel sorry for her.
I'd rather have to work and pay my way than live like that.

Money isnt everything, if they are happy then fair play. Its just alot different to how i imagined it would be, apart from one of us we worked hard at school and all wanted to be police/solicitor/nurse and lawyers!

Exactly, so basing judgements on peoples lives because they live in a council house certainly isn't the way to do it.
