Today, I had artfully managed to avoid anyone knowing that I was moving into a trailer park. I showed up at the trailer where all my friends, co-workers, and exes were waiting. My parents knew I was feeling down and wanted to throw me a surprise 'moving in' party. FML

In a lot of areas, such as the one I live in, trailer parks are not very nice places to live. In these areas, those stereotypes are actually true the vast majority of the time. I can see why (if the OP lives somewhere like this) he/she might not have wanted people to know. And it's not about cheap living. There's often a reason that it's cheap -- it's a bad place to live.

Why do you care so much what other people think? There's nothing wrong with living in a trailer park. In fact, some of those homes are actually really nice.

i dont blame you one little bit for being embarassed. i used to live in a trailer park and i was ashamed of it when i had moved out. perhaps where you people live its a little more acceptable, but i actually had people not like me because i lived there. or they would say stuff like "oh thats right, you dont live in a house!" i dont think hes a douchebag or a jackass. people are ******* mean. it can change. im 21 and own my own house now.

Haha to all those people out there who say hes "way too judgmental" isn't that exactly what you are doing? Besides I'm sure all of you just confess to all your short comings right? When you fail you throw parties about it instead of hiding it? Hypocrites.

@ 13 would you say the same thing if you were forced by said circumstance to live in a trailer park? would you say that everyone who lost their jobs because of their company going bankrupt had built their own circumstances? maybe they can make things get better, but that doesn't mean everything is always perfect. you all should stop and think to yourself if you would want all your friends to know that you're living in a trailer park. i live in the richest condominium in the city's downtown and some people still badmouth it saying that its not as big as a complete house. i cant even begin to imagine what they would think about a trailer park.

I agree with #26. I lived in a trailer park for a few months (actually, I just moved out yesterday), and it was a really nice, beautiful area. At the same time, I never had any friends come over. I don't think I was embarrassed, it was just uncomfortable because all my friends had bigger houses than I did. Of course, the OP's trailer might not even be nice and pretty like mine was, in which case I'd totally understand why he would be embarrassed about it. Sure, the financial crisis might have thrown this at him, but at least he's trying by moving into a place he can afford in order to still live comfortably with what money he has. Anyway, stop calling him judgmental. That's exactly what you're all being right now. You don't know if his trailer park is full of crime and that's all he could afford. Maybe his friends are the type of people to make jokes about trailer trash and all that. You don't know the circumstances, so stop sounding hypocritical and ignorant.
