Whenever I go to mejiers or something I always feel the security guards watching the cameras have them all pointed at me because I look like I'm about to steal something lol. I never have any intention on stealing anything though. I also feel the same about walking behind women ... that they think I'm going to try to rape them or steal their purse but there is never any intentions. And there was a couple times where I had to talk to the police and I felt like they thought I was trying hard to hide something major like I was pushing drugs even though I don't use or sell drugs.

I've never looked dangerous enough to be a serious criminal (5ft 1inch weedy schoolgirl ) but I used to have a hang-up about adults thinking I was a yob, or even slightly anti-social. Not because I was scared of what the police would do, it was just the knowledge that I was disapproved of that I knew I would find unbearable, as even a suspicious glance would give me a great sense of guilt, which in turn made me angry because in my head I knew I didn't deserve it, but I could do nothing to save my eroded self-esteem. Some people in Britain will see a youth in the street and instantly feel fear or act as if you shouldn't be there, it's in our culture now. As if their generation never went outside!
