The reason I feel this way is because haven ' t the money needed to be f) i , " accepted" by some of the people here . Im;1 ™ Here you must have wealth . If you don ' t, people don ' t take to you and don ' t H! ~ @ include you in their activities. Don' t get me wrong, some of the people, in fact the fl m majority of the people, are really nice; but the few who feel this way about material ill a {~ things often make a person's opinion of the whole group a bad one. ff~ :=~:: Signed, )!~ii i: i TROUBLED /:} • .,,·.· bI d :::::: /:l Dear Trou e : :::::: f!
