Jodie,

I know just how you feel. It amazes me that individuals who consider themselves to be educated people seem to have absolutely no manners. So what if I do not speak with a plumb in my mouth, so what if I can not afford designer clothes. Does that mean you are better than me? Does than mean you can look down your nose at me? NO it bloody well does not.

I find it astonishing that these very same people provoke emotions in me that I thought I would never have to feel as an adult. Perhaps some consideration should be given by all the people in the being bad lecture to the values they hold. I hope the lecturer you were with when the others were laughing at you noticed and that they will be reprimanded for their inexcusable behaviour.

http://http://www.antibullying.net/unistudents.htm This web site was set up to discuss bullying at University it makes for interesting read. It tells of many students who have been bullied at their own Universities via various methods. Amazing that it is suce a seriuos issue it has resulted in the site being developed.

I for one admire you for rising above their snobbery and immaturity. Well done you.
