What's teen life like in England?
top 10 kids toys uk image
Bow
I might be possibly moving there in a years time, and I need to know the basics.
I'd be moving with my Dad, my younger brother and sister. I'm 14. Girl. Canadiaan, but I have a dual citizenship to the UK. I'm a muay thai fighter.
Are there boxing gyms in England?
What's school like? Hard, easy, events that happen, and what happens on holidays and weekends during school?
Will I end up picking up an accent and the slang quickly?
What's the tube like? Is it easy to figure out?
What is a common thing for friends to do?
What would my first bit of school be like since I'd be new there?
When do people start drinking? Dating?
When is it normal for teens to start traveling by themselves? (a trip with friends)
Do people drive or take transit more?
Do I have to get a transit card thing?
What sports would I end up doing?
Would I be more liked or disliked right away because I'm new and Canadian?
How big is the typical bedroom in England?
When do teens typically start working?
When do teens move out usually into their own flat or house?
What do the girls typically act like? The guys?
Things you do in England but not Canada that I wouldn't be familiar with?
Any other info or knowledge would be amazing :)
www.dear-harley.tumblr.com is my Tumblr if you want any more info on me! Thanks so much!
Answer
I'll be 20 soon and I have lived in England my whole life.
1. There are a lot of boxing gyms in England. In general we have lots of gyms here and the majority of gyms are amazing with top class machines and swimming pools. It does depend on the price but basically for what you want, so you pay for quality, but really it's not too bad. Tip: as you are a student a lot of gyms will give you a discount rate and you will only have to pay student fares
2. School in England is okay. We have different levels in schooling and we don't have advanced classes but people can take classes earlier if teachers think you are good enough and it does your boost your chances of getting into a good university and we have some of the best universities in the world. We have GCSEs which you will mostly take, then IB, or A-Levels or BTECs which you take during junior and senior year of high school. We don't have that many events like you do in Canada and America - for example we don't have many cheerleaders, spirit week or home coming but sweet 16 and prom is very popular. Schools do things differently but you have sports day, dances and fund raising events. I do wish there was more though, & you have uniforms up to junior year
3. Seeing as you are 14 I doubt very much you will get an English accent as you have a Canadian accent and people are born with their accents. My aunt whom is American has lived in England for over 50 years and she has her strong American accent and you can tell she is American. Still you don't need an English accent to fit in and Canadian accents are awesome.
4. I LOVE taking the tube, and I always take it whenever I am in London and I also love the trains and the buses. The tubes are comfortable, run on time, there's tubes every minute, there are loads of maps, everything is explained clearly and simply and above off all there are staff at every corner to help you. If you're going to take the train then prepare for delays - there are constant delays which is a nightmare and the buses run well but there's loads of traffic during rush hour
5. Going out, having fun, going to the movies, shopping, eating out, going to fares, parties and the park. There's lots to do and life here in England is no different to your life in Canada and is nothing like skins (t.v show)
6. You will be shown around and you will start classes. You'll be assigned to a student who will take you under their wing and will show you around and help you around.
7. The drinking age in England is 16 but a lot of people start drinking when they are younger. It is known that people in England, especially teenagers drink a lot and cannot handle their drink - they drink until they throw up and faint, and that is not a good state to be in. I don't drink and I have a lot of friends. Dating, I would say 13+
8. I would say around 14+ but it does depend where you go. I would say always go with friends, always have money and your phone with you and above off all don't go anywhere which you are not familiar with.
9. I would say public transport is the most common way people travel because we have a good, safe and reliable transport system. We don't have school buses here unless you go to a highly prestigious private school, but at university we have university buses.
10. If you live London then you get a student card and up to the age of 18 the bus is free, but the tube & train is half price. If you're studying at university in London then it's 25% off on everything only if you're studying a full time course like medicine
11. Football is highly common, rounders, swimming, netball, ext! Lots of different sports and depends on your school and you can join sports outside of school
12. No, everybody will be in awe with you. It's always like that with the new kids - they're always the new shiny toy, but as you're Canadian people will be around you more.
13. Be prepared for this. Houses in England are mainly attached to one another and the rooms are not big at all - however if you don't live in a city and you are rich then you will have a big house. Canada is massive hence why you have big houses
14. 16 is when you can start working. There are lots of jobs in London and large cities but with the economic situation and recession work is tough to find, so apply and keep applying & don't give up.
15. Normally teens go to university and a lot go and live on campus for 1 year and then rent a house or flat with their friends. Afterwards some move back home or live on their own.
16. I wouldn't say English girls and boys are different from other teenagers in the world, apart from the accent. The only thing we have here is chavs - look up chav on the internet and you don't want to mix with them at all
17. England is not that different at all to Canada. You're going to love it here. good luck xoxo

Teens: Ever Had Trouble With Gypsy's?
The KiD =R
(I don’t know if there are Gypsy’s in the America so this mostly for people in the UK but if they do live in America aswell feel free to answer)
Last summer I was walking down a canal near my house with my little 6-year-old cousin who was visiting. To get to the canal you have to pass a gypsy camp (from which they haven't moved for 5 years) and as we approached it I could see about 7 or 8 gypsies who looked about 10 to 17 years old you could hear they had a motor bike and it then came speeding down the road and there was a kid about 13 years old on it and I thought he was just going to go past us which he did but then he turned round and went speeding up and tried to run over my little cousins legs I had to lift him away to stop him from getting run over. I then told him to fcuk off or I would knock him out and he laughed and sped off to the others we carried on walking and then they surrounded us as we tried to get past and started calling us all the names under the moon(including a pikey which I thought was a name for Gypsy's) then my little cousin started to get scared and began to cry one of the gypsy boys then tried to pull my cousin from me until I told him he was gypsy scum they told me if I ever called then that again they would put me in hospital I had the urge to smack him in the face and put all of them in hospital but I didn't fancy my chances against 8 of them. They let us through while shouting abuse at us. As I picked my cousin up and walked away I noticed that there were about 5 gypsy adults sitting on a bench watching the whole incident and laughing about it that really made my blood boil and if I wasn't with my cousin I would have went and smashed them. After we got away we went home with my crying cousin and told my parents who just warned me to stay away from the gypsy’s, which I did.
Until about 6 months ago when I was out on a jog and decided to run along the canal and then as I passed the gypsy camp there were these boys from about 8 to 12 who were all manky and had there tops off and were toy fighting (which still looked violent) and I am 16 years old but they still abused me and threw a stone at me as i ran.
I went for a run yesterday aswell and I got the same abuse this time from a bunch of girls between 13 and 16 who called me all the names under the sun this time I had had enough so I stopped and warned them to shut the fcuk up or I would make them and then the adults who had been watching told me never to give there children cheek again so I got even more pi$$ed and spat in his face and ran like hell back home before they could all catch up with me.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I always hear how Gypsy's are victimized and that they are nice people but every time I have encountered them teenagers and children have abused me while the adults watched and laughed all for being a non-gypsy. So if it were up to me I would evict every gypsy from the land and force them to pay tax like the rest off us.
Have any of you had any trouble with Gypsy's or is it just a bad infestation that is in my area.
.
Answer
First of all it's GYPSIES.
Secondly, I come from Poland and yes, we have heaps of the bad type of gypsies there. Unfortunately they have been kicked around by life since WW2... They steal etc.
Remember that Romanians are not always gypsies so don't judge them.
But yeah, I'd watch out for gypsies... not good stuff. I love their culture/style, but their manners disgust me.

How to tell mother in law thanks, but no thanks?
Bogan Mum
Ok, my mother in law is being a right pain in my backside while i have been pregnant. Anyway. She lives about 7 or 8 hours away (yipee) so doesnt get to see us or our son much. Im currently 28 almost 29 weeks pregnant with a girl. Both these children (my son and girl on the way) are her only grandchildren.
She came to where we live yesterday because she is flying to the uk today. Anyway she bought some stuff for the baby, the thing is, its all second hand and its not even nice stuff (i know i may sound snobbyish, but i dont mean to be) and its not even pink! She bought a blue cardigan type thing and a white and blue AIO. She has bought a few other things from the op shops too. And none of the stuff i plan to use. Why you ask. Because 1, i dont like any of it and 2, its just extra stuff on top of the piles of stuff me and my fiance have already bought.
My fiance has just had a pay rise and is being considered for a superviser roll which would mean even more money. He does overtime at work every single night. We have about $200-$300 extra a week (new zealand dollars) and can afford to be buying things brand new. We pretty much have everything we need already, i have of course bought a few cute outfits, a few cute aios and then the seperates. The only things i havnt got are the basic short sleeve aio things and socks, mittens etc, because well they are boring, lol.
She asked me if i had bought much about 2 weeks before she flew up and i told her i have pretty much everything she will need for the first few months. Then she asked me if i kept the reciepts, i said of course. Then she told me to take it all back because she can just pick things up cheap as at the second hand shops! She didnt even want to see the things i had bought when i asked her if she wanted to see them.
She is also ripping into my fiance (her son) because i bought a brand new bassinet and sheets. She told him that she could have just made the sheets and that she saw one at the op shop for $10 she could have bought.
I dont mean to sound snobby and ungrateful and bichy. But i just want to be able to give our kids the best. Especially since we are starting to finally get ahead with money and are able to afford these nice things. So how can i tell her thanks, but that she can stop buying things for her now because we already have too many
This is not the only problem i have with her. LOL. But if i started i couldnt stop. Hahaha. I do buy second hand myself, but i buy all the 'name' brand sorts of things that i cant justify spending big money on brand new. Thanks for all the comments guys, i cant believe someone didnt go on about how ungrateful and bichy i was being, lol
Answer
Oh man, parents. If its not your own, its your in-laws. Once they get the title "Grandma" they go a little nuts. I decided to try cloth diapers on #1 (her first grandchild even though some of my husband's siblings have been married for 5 years +). The diapers she made are seriously big enough to wear on an adult. They made me laugh.
Then when #1 was 9 months old, MIL started talking about potty training. Maybe its just me, but if the kid can't talk OR walk, I don't want to think about potty training. Its been over a year since then and the potty chair still hasn't been used. My mother is similar now that she moved farther away. (She used to live an hour away, not she lives 5 hours away.)
And yes, all the junk they bring you will not stop. No matter how much you say "we don't need it." If its not clothes, its toys. No matter how much you try and explain that you have bins and bins of toys, and most of them are never played with.
You could always use the 'ugly' clothes as play clothes or every day clothes. Then if you have a diaper blow out you won't feel bad throwing away the outfit the baby was wearing.

You could always use the 'ugly' clothes as play clothes or every day clothes. Then if you have a diaper blow out you won't feel bad throwing away the outfit the baby was wearing.
