I've heard it mentioned in the 70s and in songs (I Wanna Be Loved). This question is for the 40 years and older set. Unless you are cultured enough to know! **winks**

When I mentioned that I am of the ethnicity that he was mocking badly, and not in jest....he continued with the intent to discourage and embarass me...I am the only one of this ethnicity in my class.
Incidently, this is a math class....Not a social/cultural class.

Now, im taking degree in nursing for my first year.Im just curious.When i applied for degree in nursing, all of my friends are shocked.They didnt believed that i would take nursing as my career coz of my apperance(well, i look a bit brutal bad-boy-looking,but im actually not).They said that so gays!(Narrow-minded).
In my country, there's only about 0.1% of the nurses are male.And the rest are female.So, what are your prespectives toward male nurses?

What should I do? I live in England and am in a terible situation?
Can anyone help me? Does anyone know what I should do? I am seriously panicking because my parents don't have a clue how to fix this situation.... this might take me a long time to explain.
when i was 11 my gransma of whom i was very close to died. she was my only protector and the one who looked after me/raised me.
she died just as i was starting high school....at this point i began to realise i was being neglected by my real mum. she had had a tough childhood, had been abused by her mum and apparantly there was physical fighting in the house etc....my mum married my dad just to get away from that situation.
at the point when i was starting high school I began to notice that I was being neglected, I never got took out anywhere, never got bought anything, didnt get fed properly etc....also...my mum and dad were practically split up but in the same house.they hardly spoke,didn't have a relationship,didn't sit down to eat etc...i don't think my mum even knew HOW to move away. anyway i began to get very depressed and began not to be able to cope with school. I began to refuse to go on-and-off for 2 years. it was a terrible mistake but at the time I was severely depressed and not thinking rationally. at the end of this year my parents sent me to another school and lied to the head teacher saying that I wasn't behind in my work. I coudn't cope with the work tht year...it was alien to me....at the end of the year I quit school altoghether as I was so tired, fed up, depressed and had no-one to help me. i think deep down I was half waiting for my grandma to come back and save me. i was still not being looked after properly...and my mum was always cold towards me...I ended up having 3 measly hours of home tuition per week and I had no friends or relatives to check i was ok (which I wasn't) i ended up with a teacher who wasn't even qualified to teach...plus she just made me learn out of a book, instead of teaching me herself. NO-ONE was there in my life to make sure i was ok. my last school didn't realise the amount of danger i was in because my parets had lied to them...same with the home tuition lot. i wasn't getting any sleep, being taken anywhere, spoken to even or in general looked after by my parents.I ended up getting G grades in my GCSE exams...apsrt from a C/D in English as I as always above average at this.I was still SEVERELY depressed and didn't get ANY help. my parents didn't know really what to do. I briefly saw Connexions but they equally weren't much help. I then sat at home for the next TWO YEARS doing nothing. I am now 18. I still wasn't being looked after properly. I didn't have any sort of a routine, no regular meal times etc...etc...I didn't go out of the house..or meet anyone. I was severely depressed,not thinking straight and didn't have a clue how to get out of the situation. plus the fact that I was quite frightened of my mother made it impossible for me to talk to anyone about everything.
I really need help, i don't have a clue how to do even the most basic things such as how to use a washing machine, how to cook etc..etc...
I don't know also how to fix my education. I am 18, have had no education, don;t even know basic stuff ..and have no-one to help me. what on earth should I do?
I live in England.
Who can help me?
Who should I contact???

I'm in a really bad situation. I was neglected/suffering abuse at home...I missed 4 years of high school...and got G grades in my GCSEs as a consequence (apart from in English) I'm scared because I dont even know basic stuff such as how to use a bus, how to cook, etc....I have been severely depressed and as no-one's helped me sat at home ding nothing for the past 2 years. I am now 18. I cannot believe this is happening...it's like a nightmare. What on earth should I do? I haven't a clue how to fix my education? even if I did have....i still have a problem......my mum still doesn't look after me/is abusive. She behaves as though she doesn't want me to ever become independant/have a life. she wouldn't support me even if I went to college. I feel so scared. Should I try to move out into a Foyer?? they are a place for homeless young people which offer training and support too....but I don't even know if this would work....I don't have a clue how I would get there(no-one would take me and I don't have a clue how to use a bus) and for example to live there you need to claim benifits(I don't have a CLUE what this even means) that's how bad things are/were...that's how ill I was with depression. I cannot believe this has been allowed to happen.
Does anyone know out there what I should do?
I don't know if I could even work out how to fix my education AND how to live in a Foyer. it's so hard. Would I have anyone looking after me in a Foyer? I mean really looking after me? How can I fix my education? people say do GCSEs...but I can't as I'm too far behind in my work (they only cover work from the last 2 years in school....and I missed years of school even from before then) I'm so so scared. I don't have ANYONE in my life to help me. my relatives i haven't had contact with for about 6 years properly...i don't have ANYONE. i'm so scared. PLEASE HELP!! what should I do?
plus it's even worse because I'll now be 19 years old before I can even start on any sort of college course...and I haven't been to school properly/had a normal life since age 11.
PLEASE HELP!!! I feel like there is no way out.

In the UK, hardly a week goes by without a news story of a gang of youths beating someone who death who asked them not to drop litter or keep the noise down, etc. Or stabbing someone to death on a bus. Or giving someone brain damage when he dared to interevene as they vandalised his car.

Now, this didn't happen 20 years ago. Make no mistake. It's not a case of the older generation always viewing the younger one as worse. This younger generation is much more violent. There's no doubt about it. In the 1980s you didn't fear walking down the high street because of groups of young people.

Does the fact that the United States government issues a purple heart make the injury any less devastating to the injured person? I mean... in a war that most feel is senseless does our government honestly think... hey you lost your legs but here is a purple heart for your trouble...thank you. Is this the best they can do for the men and women who are braving their lives.... mind you most are young adults.
