Former Poor Kids Share Things They Never Had, That Most People Take For Granted

People don’t really understand privilege while growing up. And when I say privilege. Children often don’t understand that not every family is like theirs, and it’s pretty hard to grasp that their peers don’t live the same lifestyle as theirs.

With that, some kids essentially grow faster than others. Why? Because they have to take up some responsibilities and chores earlier than others, and every family has different problems.

Not everyone recognizes that they should be grateful for the things they have in their lives, and I believe we’re all guilty for this – at least in some part.

Writer Victoria Barrett decided to highlight this issue and asked Twitter users to share some of the things they have in their house and never had as a kid, yet things that their non-poor friends would never consider luxuries. The post went viral, and hundreds of people responded. From a loving mom and dad, to some basic necessities, people shared what it was like to grow up poor. Check out some of the most popular responses below, and feel free to share ‘what are some things you have in your house that you *never* had as a kid, things your not-poor friends would never consider luxuries?’
