Team 2: Personal Profile -
James
I am just me. Not good looking, otherwise I might get lucky with the
girls. Nothing special.
I was diagnosed with ADD when I was about 6
years old, and have to take tablets to ‘control my temper and
hyperactivity’. ADD is just a word they give for a bad kid, or
that’s what I reckon.
Lazy, negative, unmotivated, unambitious.
Like I said I hang out with Nick and his Dad most of the time. He’s pretty cool, he can be a tool as well though.
I don’t do any school involvement. If anything I prefer not to go to
school, and wag whenever I can or even when I cannot get away with
it.
Don’t do any!
Not part of any.
| Money?
|
The only
money is the one I get from Centrelink. It’s cool though,
because it’s enough to buy me my cigarettes, maybe a CD or
to get food if I want it. I don’t need much more than that,
unlike ‘pretty boys’ who go and buy pretty clothes and gel
all the time. |
|
Possessions?
|
I don’t own
much. Mum and dad are tight. They never buy us anything like
TV or Playstation. I wish that I had stuff like that, but I
can’t afford it til I get older. |
| Religion?
|
I don’t do
religion ever really. My grandad tries to get us to go to
Mass but mum and dad always tell him to bugger off because
it’s not their thing. I agree, no-one should make you go
into some place to worship some person who doesn’t even
exist. It’s stupid. |
|
Marriage?
|
I don’t care
about marriage, I don’t think that any girl would want to
marry me. All the girls think that I am psycho, and wouldn’t
come near me with a 10 foot pole. Even though some girls at
school are hot, they are all whingers and carry on about
nothing. I hate that they are fake and squeal a lot. |
| Politics?
|
Politicians are idiots and always will be, and I don’t care
about politics at all.
|
I don’t care about others. I am just out for myself. I don’t care if
anyone thinks that is a bad attitude to have, because it is the only
one that I have been brought up on.
In an ideal world what would be
your 5 year plan?
I have never have done anything serious with my life so I would end
up on the dole. But if I could do what I really wanted I would get a
job in TV and then travel.
What things are standing in the way of achieving this?
I have been wasting my time at school so I won't get any decent
results.
What might be some of the solutions?
Dad said I could come and work for him as long as I take the job
seriously. But it sucks living with him so the thought of working
with him as well is not something that I like to think about. The
career advisor at school keeps telling me that I should go and see
her or get some work experience lined up, but my older sister says
that she is a bitch so I don’t want to.
How will you support yourself if you decide on further training
after school?
I am not even sure if I am going to finish school, let alone go on
and do any further training. And like I said before, there is always
the dole to fall back on if I can’t get a job.
My mum is pretty lazy, I swear she
just bludges off dad. She says that she needs to stay home and look
after the house, but we get home and the house isn’t even a little
bit tidy. All she does is sit around home and smoke, sometimes she
might do the vacuuming or wash our clothes. Our family doesn’t value
much at all. My older sister has moved out with her boyfriend into
some disgusting apartment. Dad doesn’t care either, he just works
and sits around.
What is important as far as values go?
I know what I’m on about, what other
people think is their own business… as long as they don’t annoy me.
