I think there's a fine line between being a 'cool kid' and being a 'happening kid'
 

like i mentioned in one of my commments in an earlier post, its not so much of a fine line.

in fact, who is to say where the fine line is. who is to conclude that a certain kid is cool or poor or happening or a loser. no one can do that!

it would be a sweeping statement to say that a certain someone is poor, unhappening and even COOL.

we are all VICTIMS of circumstances, and we cant do a thing about it

that i believe is the sad reality
 

we cant do anything about it yang?...no we can...its the matter of raising awareness in ppl,

lets say we HAD a group of rich friends and a poor friend and NOW they understand the situation better, they would, like mia would, pay for the poor guy, instead of, 'let him go home' (not that they don't like him, but they didn't think of paying for him). so you see, we can do something about such circumstances,

these circumstances do happen, we cant help that it happens, but we can do something to change these circumstances
 

Segregation according to the size of your wallet demonstrates a failure to look beyond material things. A good example is the prom. No offense to Ruixiang, but I must say it is a little ex. Not all of us have such money to spend you know. At over $50, it is a little expensive for some people. Does that mean that they can't enjoy commemorating the transition from secondary to tertiary education? It should not be the case man. Most of us just want somewhere with great ambience to celebrate with great food. But what about those who cannot afford? Sad, isn't it, that sometimes we're just selfish beings...
