Q&A: living in the south when youre from new york…?
ByQuestion by Punks_Not_Dead: living in the south when youre from new york…?
HOW IS IT POSSIBLE?!
i moved from long island to virginia. i have an accent. and a totally different way of doing things, plus a totally different point of view.
the school i go to i swear is a majority inbred population. and the rednecks hate me. HATE. i have no problem with southerners, but I do hate rednecks. I guess they smell the yankee on me. I am not mean to them unless they say something that they consider “witty”.
Like the other day they were talking about hunting and rudely said things about me and how i dont know what its like to live down here and what not. i responded with “Look, just because I don’t kill food with my car, doesn’t mean I’m any where near as ignorant as you…” they got all pissy and offended… and everytime i say something i got made fun of.. so i have an accent big deal! it’s like none of them were socialized as young children, but seeing as how a majority of them are inbred*when one is higher then other, how hard is it to tell?* i guess i can’t expect them to be. I hate living down here. They run there trucks through mud for fun. they almost seem to be offened when im not impressed by their mud covered fords. where im from we do civilized things like go to the movies and the mall!
i just can’t bare to live down here…. all they talk about is hunting and camoflauge.. in the time that ive resided here my hair’s been every single colour in the rainbow, that alone scares them.. i get these huge stares. in ny no one batted an eyelash
please help!
i dont know what to do!

I am guessing you are in high school or middle school because hopefully someone who’s old enough to go to college wouldn’t be so mean. Just try to get involved in activities in the school you’re interested in: ex: art music, etc.
Hopefully you’ll make a friend that even if they are one of the rednecks. Maybe you can teach them that being different is good. And the two of you can learn from each other. If God wanted everyone to be the same who would have made us all with the same color hair skin etc.
As far as the accent, I have a southern accent and used to get made fun of for it. I LIVE in the south and yes I still got made fun of for it.
Sometimes people feel the need to make fun of others to make themselves feel better. Don’t let them get you down.

What’s “inbred”? Do you even know the definition or what you’re saying? And you’re a female. The female’s drive those trucks and talk about hunting just like the guys do? Lol. Sorry, but I too moved from Long Island to what I’ll call ‘farm country’ in another state. My kids are ‘different’, but they’ve never called anyone the names you call the people around you. Why don’t you stop the name calling and talk to your parents about your feelings and maybe a guidance counselor at school? You do not have to waste energy bashing these people because they have a different lifestyle than you’re used to. Give it time. I’m sure there are people around who will make good friends.
