I'm 13. From the time I was almost 11 until I was 12, I lived in a one bedroom apartment with my brother and mom, my aunt and her two kids, and my aunt's roommate. 7 people in a one bedroom apartment in a ghetto neighborhood. We were the only white people in the apartment, no joke. I slept on a mattress on the floor beneath a window and I remember waking up to overly drunk people fighting right outside my window. I couldn't go outside and play, I couldn't have sleep-overs. I was ashamed to fill out the "About You" page we had to do at school because it asked for an address and they were hung up in the hallway. I had no room, no privacy, nothing. There was also no air-conditioning. I was lucky to have a small TV that got local channels and an Mp3 player that picked up radio. Almost everybody in the apartment building did drugs, and it terrified me. Some random person would knock on the door and ask for something we didn't have. Kids did pick on me, but I can look back on it and laugh with them now. I seriously consider myself homeless at that point because of how poor we were. I feel bad for my cousins, 'cause they're still living in that apartment.

13 Mockingjay Radiant Mercy Where I live, many people are poor and live in the ghetto. Most schools are built next to ghettos. Living in the ghetto is sort of a style .. and is not something that is shamed here. I cannot complain, I live in a peaceful, quiet neighborhood, but I do have friends who live in trailers. Don't feel ashamed. It is wrong to judge people on anything other than their aptitude. It is so prejudiced of your friends and co workers to make those comments, and just plain insensitive. I know people who are good and don't do drugs and live in the ghetto. You know I just idk ...there's nothing wrong with trailers...
When I said that I meant "I live in a big house, but I do have friends who live in trailers and it doesn't matter to me". The way I put it though, the meaning does sound like it could get confused...

I got you, I just felt like teasing. I live in a trailer and it's the first "house" we've owned since I was 6.
