Err I wasn't referring to being pregnant, neither did I mention it. I just curious as to why you dismissed me as incapable of using a smart phone....although not that curious tbf.

Out of interest, dads a doctor- I well know that surgeons come with a peculiar set of beliefs sometimes, what does your mother do? Is she a doctor too?

To clarify I wasn't accusing you of being sexist...more that you're 15 and you make assumptions that were illogical so based on what? I was wondering if it was the basic facts you know about me....

I think when you're young, a lot of older people get dismissed as little value. It's the arrogance of youth sadly.

Oops sorry. For some reason id thought you mentioned being pregnant. Havent had my coffee yet so readings a bit off. Apologies

Dads a doctor yeah, mum is a social worker by degree, worked for a few yrs then when my brother was born and my dad got his practise going she stopped working and is a stay at home mum as of now

Well when you wrote "its because im a woman going through emotional issues at the moment" that implied quite clearly that you may be accusing me of being sexist... I got a bit arrogant in the heat of the moment and quite honestly thats not how i usually am. I apologise. Normally im open to advise but take everything with a grain of salt.

Actually I was referring to the whole "sobbing going home thing" .... Still I think it was a reasonable conclusion to come to. You did take a leap. I was just filling in the gaps.

And I really hope that you don't make assumptions about people...women, men, grannies etc

Gozit

Oh right that.
No i dont make assumptions about people or follow stereotypes. Way upthread schnook was talking about bullying. All that bullshit comes from stereotypes about people. "Nerds" "geeks" "jocks" etc. I absolutely hate all of that and that has taught me stereotyping is wrong.

Ok they are contradictory. But having said that young adults do display some natural tendencies! Hopefully they grow out of them given the right training!

The doctor question was deliberately misleading though. I actually had the impression that his mother was stay at home, and maybe just maybe that's why he assumed I couldn't work my phone because his mother couldn't. But actually his mother could have been a dr. Statically health care professionals are more likely to be married to other type professions.

Just a bit ageist then?

Everyone makes assumptions about people, especially when they're just words on a discussion board. It's impossible not to, doesn't matter what age you are.

Sorry folks, I'm closing this thread. It's gone way off at a tangent.

Thanks
