were you a victim okay so my family was pretty much is still pretty much pretty broke haha i was often given things my mother or aunt or relative close enough to my age didnt want the kind of kid who wore 10 year old sneakers with a hole in the side i was given lots of hand me down and old stuff did anyone else have that experience as a kid and did you like it or dislike it and want new stuff

One of my core memories is in fifth grade having to do a creative project where we decorated a pair of old shoes but I had no other shoes so I had to wait until I got new shoes which took until the end of the year. The teacher would repeatedly try to give me morning detention for not having any other shoes but I thought it was dumb so I didn't go. I wasn't able to do anything in her class for the entire year.

^thats horribke that teacher i guess clearly couldnt get the concept of the less fortunate who you know maybe dont have an old pair of shoes to decorate because theyre still wearing them!

yeah i was a hand me down kid

my aunts and uncles have a lot of kids, so our families would trade clothes as everyone was growing

was it a pleasant experience for you? for me people would make fun of me and the worn out clothes i had especially the shoes and tears in clothes sometimes too i dont think i ever really hand me downed to Danny or Erika i could be misremembering the one thing i think i liked was a jacket my mother one day let me have it was a hoody

i still get your hand me downs, lindsey, i just posted this from your former phone

oh lol i stand corrected that is true… well i mean if you like them so much i have a several year old iphone.l you could have someone would just have to buy me a new one hmmmm

it was embarrassing, but better than having no clothes. people treat you different when you're wearing worn out stuff or using something that's been clearly pre-owned

this exactly there was a rarely a time i did not get some kind of comment from someone the only time i didnt when was if it was some kid wearing the same for real even other people who were supposed to understand what thats like would pick on me about it but i think that was probably self-judgement projection of them bottom line for me was embarrassment and feeling less than everyone else because of it

i was the opposite and had things randomly given away for no ducking reason LIKE MY GAME BOY AND POKÉMON YELLOW, YOURE NOT OFF THE HOOK YET GRANDMA

ah your grandma gave away your pokemon yellow!!!! i remember pokemon yellow very good times should never be given away maybe sold but not randomly given away i also just woke up for the second time today tired pokemon pikachu talk

NOOO THAT SUCKS

my first cellphone was a hand me down in fact i never used it i didnt even get how to use it please note i was 16-17 at the time i eventually learned how to text but ther was no one much to text it was a flip phone

my first phone wasn't a hand me down but it was a freebie...! *dead*

waitwaitwaitwait i didnt get it

my first phone was that lg i got for free, remember? so it was still technically something given to me by someone who didn't want it

oh thats right i do remember that now i forgot about that phone still sitting in a box being useless uh… how about hand me down toys did anyone get those i did receive from my wicked mother one nice thing which was a hand me down stuffed rabbit that i was absolutely in love with as a kid… she proceeded to later take it away from me and instead of keep it herself as it was before to throw it away to this day i still sometimes look for a copy of that rabbit but ive never found it i loved it a lot
