…….About A Middle Class Teenager!!!

                Our society is divided into three classes known to working class, middle class and upper class. Many people say that the life of working class people is the toughest but I think it is not totally true! Amongst the three classes I think a middle class person has the toughest life. It is absolutely true that the working class is subjected to most of the hard work in our society. The working class has the most physically challenging jobs and lifestyle as well but, if we think about the psychological condition then the middle class is subjected to the toughest of all…..
                Middle class people are so struck between the upper class and working class that their life becomes miserable. If an economical problem arises in a working class family then that’s not such a big issue for them as they are used to it. If such a problem arises in an upper class family then they overcome the problem easily. But, what about the middle class family? If they go through such a problem then they can’t either live the life of middle class or working class. As middle class, they can’t adjust to the working class lifestyle and they can’t even live their own lifestyle.
                There is a friend of mine from a middle class family and at this moment their family is going through some rough times. Even if her parents try to fulfill her every wish it is not so easy for her to live such a life. She was used to a middle class lifestyle and dreamt of living the upper class lifestyle but, life took such a turn that her family has to live life like working class. She just loves shopping, likes to hang out with us and also likes to see new places. Earlier she was the one planning about where to go and all the things in our group but now, because she doesn’t have money to do all this she just sits at home. She is not just unhappy because she has to change her lifestyle but it is also because she feels sorry for her parents. The maximum amount of physical pressure is on the working class but can anyone calculate the mental pressure on the middle class??? The pressure is not only when a middle class family goes through problems but also when they are living their normal life. When a middle class family is not having the economical problems there is this stress of trying to earn a healthy living like the upper class and if not that then at least not to lose money and become working class. When you are born in a middle class family you are taught to adjust with what you have but, as today’s teenagers we dream of living the life of upper class family and to achieve that in life again, we have stress. It is not just about lifestyle but there are also many other factors. If we think about the colleges then, the working class has many benefits of reduced fees. And, the huge amount of actual fees is not a problem for upper class but, the middle class is again suffering in this matter. Their income is not as much as the upper class but the amount of fees is the same for them. So, that is why I said middle class people have the toughest life!!!!
But, in spite of all the problems they are facing, my friend and her parents are trying their level best to adjust and also to regain the same life style. So, this is the spirit of middle class people. Hats Off to the spirit of middle class people!!!!!
