In November 2016 Frankie graduated Honours BA in Computer Animation
Oh wonderful!
Nice but he ill be paying the student debt for that for the rest of his life...
Congrats!
Amazing! What a grafter he is
He went to University?
Really impressed by Frankie. He is intelligent and has a great attitude. He will do well in life
Frankie seems like his head is back on. Admitting his mistake and have a goal. Way to go lad.
These 3 young men are living a really tough life. They can not crawl out of poverty until they grow up and have someone who can help them. I would venture to say that in 5 years they still won’t have the life they want. Wishing and wanting will not give them success.
Single Mom raised 3 kids, worked 2, 3 jobs. My girls learned to sew my son learned guitar and started working at 13 as a dishwasher in a restaurant. They knew if they wanted anything they'd have to work. Constantly had our electricity and water turned off. They're now adults and one has kids of her own. They're happy self reliant now, they are happy with life. I drilled into their heads that getting involved with drugs and alcohol will only make it worse and even though they experimented luckily none of them were consumed. I feel very blessed, I see other family members who had money spoil their kids and now they're either drug/alcohol dependent or constantly thinking about being rich and not happy until they are. All I can say as a parent is love your kids, try to keep communication open and have some rules that are fair.
Well done to you your an amazing mother my mum did the same sending love your way 💜💜💜
well Dine mom -well said also -be well
You are great mum. I wish you all the best. ❤️🙏
Were you ever married please?
@@johnnypham2850 yes divorced
Poor Craig, his mom having another child , crazy.
That's what we were saying. What a callous "mum".
She couldn't take care of one!
Education is the key to breaking the poverty cycle
was***
Very true, it is the only way. I have made it too.
So nice to see the young mom buying good wholesome food.
I know all too well how it's like being a young Parent. I had my son when I was 19 yrs. old and my Ex was 17. I can tell you from experience after 20 years now that I was not ready to be a Parent at that age and neither was my Ex. As and Advice to all young people, before you have kids make sure you are financially and mentally ready, which I was not.
Are You A Grandpa?😮
@@shawnprime5085
You can get pregnant as long as you have a period/menstruating. Yes you can be a very young grandpa. Welcome to how our world really works.
Frenkie has a good attitude and strong mind.Someone I can relate to.
This is from 2012 a more updated version would be appreciated.
Sounds familiar what these lads are doing. I grew up on council estate and nothing but trouble loomed for me. Joined the army and got well paid living in Germany after training. Fantastic life and best thing I ever done.
Killing people is not the purpose of life, and not honorable
Did you go to Iraq or was any wars.
@@angieangiel2666 I went to Northern Ireland with the army if that answers your question?
10yrs on I wonder where they are now?
So do we here.!
Frankie has made it, take a look at his LinkedIn profile.
@@savink7762 that's fantastic news
If money is so tight, stop smoking might be a good idea 🤷🏼♀️
I agree. Also, women don't need to shave, wear makeup, use perfume, use nail polish or go to a salon. Cut your own hair and just buy body soap, 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioner, toothpaste, floss, toothbrushes, deodorant, pads, and hand soap.
and the dog? how did he eat?
In 2022 people are poorer and they now stab each other to death.
All the very best Lads!
Good video
WHERE IS JOHN’s Mothers Baby Father at☝️⁉️
That baby is so adorable should be a baby model!
My cousin moved to England to marry her online boyfriend. She came back to USA bragging that he was selling his estate and would be moving in with us elderly sisters add- on apartment. She made out like he lived on a huge "Estate" but I knew better. He didn't even own a car and she had to always pay her own way back and forth. She was just bragging it up about hi "estate" and I said OH YOU MEAN HIS HOUSE IN THE COUNCIL ESTATE. She looked daggers at me. I had hit the nail right on the head. She still holds it against me. She ended up selling her property in the country so that she could afford for him to come to USA and they could get married. I asked her....didn't he settle his council house yet?? The rest of the family had pictured that he owned this nice "estate" and he was probably rich. Hahahaha.
Let me just clarify this for non-UK people. University costs around £9,000 a year (stupidly expensive compared with what it used to be). You can get a student loan to cover the fees and a basic maintenance loan, and then you get another based on family income. Each university will also have a specific fund available to help those with low income and funds - I frequently applied for assistance from my university's fund and you don't pay it back. Regarding the student loan from the SLC (Student Loans Company) you start to pay it back once you earn a certain salary. These repayments are not huge and nothing to fear.
I hope that things worked out well for those who appeared in this episode ✨
In Germany there are no UNI fees.
Hogwash
@@iancristina6362 R U responding to me or Leni? Anyway the facts, German public universities do not charge tuition fees for Bachelor’s and Master’s programmes. The German free tuition system is available for all foreign students, regardless of their country of origin.
@@iancristina6362 If your comment is in response to me then I seriously think you need to do some research. Sent 5 years doing a Ba (die to illness). And then was applying for an MA before I moved to northern Europe. What I said about university undergraduate fees is correct. In some cases its free due bursaries and funding i.e you just promise to work in that industry and country for 2 years as payment.
@@Neil-Aspinall that's good to know since my partner speaks Finnish and there is work for him there. I'm looking at locations for masters and PhD studies
Don't have children unless you are able to take care of them! 🙄
Unfortunately, It really makes your situation worse. 😢
I think the advent of Internet have provided the tool for most if not all poor people to move up the economic ladder. I have helped several people in our church that have little if anything to start a side business or two and this has been a life changing experience for them. There does take that "effort" part by them but given the right push and a mentor if needed it works. Get off your rear end, quit feeling sorry for yourself, embrace technology and you will move up the economic ladder.
These teen mums really picked some winners .... (kidding)
They were raised by winners
I feel 😪sorry for these people 😞who have very little.god bless🙌 them all.
It just feels so helpless somehow.
Nothing has changed in 2022 except it's worse and they now stab each other to death.
Why oh why would these young women look at thier young man as a daddy's baby. They should have been looking for a husband that could and would provide for them and thier offspring. Not the other way around. Sad.
wow no money but all wearing expensive clothes
Craig. Dude. Grind at anything until something better comes along. Only way! You have the time and you have a brand new back. Use them till you have skill and brains
The greatest disease in the West today is not TB or leprosy; it is being unwanted, unloved, and uncared for.
We can cure physical diseases with medicine, but the only cure for loneliness, despair, and hopelessness is love.
There are many in the world who are dying for a piece of bread, but there are many more dying for a little love.
The poverty in the West is a different kind of poverty -- it is not only a poverty of loneliness, but also of spirituality.
There's a hunger for love, as there is a hunger for God...
Wow - what a great comment. You nailed it!
What is a "council estate" exactly?
A group of homes owned by the council
Socialised housing
An Apartment you rent, in a house the council owns, not a private owner.
Houses, often whole areas, that are owned by the "council". "Council" means a city, a town, or whatever of certain areas in the UK.
e.g. "Westminster Borough Council".
Government subsidised housing in plain English.
I have to say, and i do realize that my confusion definitely shows how privileged I was growing up, but i do not understand why in the UK there is so much pressures for teens to be adults and work. Like i am always confused watching a British show and the teens are expected to work. Like when i was growing up the expectation was that i would just go to school and maybe work in the summer if i wanted to. My mom was a single mother of three and there were many years when we qualified for public benefits but with all the financial hardships, my mother never put financial pressures on us, even though we were aware that we couldn't ask for whatever we wanted. And this might be my experience but many of my friends and neighbors were in a similar financial situation and if they worked, it was in the summer or a few hours a week in retail for pocket money. Like i hope someone gives me a little more context because while i understand why these particular teens want to work, the fact that this is so prevalent (or at least made to appear to be) that am assuming something else is going on in the overall culture.
Education should never be something that only the rich can afford. That is the most abhorrent thing about first world society

I can't understand what Craig is saying. Is he speaking English?
Yes he is speaking English, but he has a very slang South Yorkshire dialect that is difficult to understand.
When you live there for a while, you will understand.
It's embarrassing how the Brits are so keen on butchering the language they themselves invented lol
What is the accent that Frankie has? Ive never heard it before.
West Indian took him under his wing in jail. He sounds West Indian although he does not look it.
londonish accent i’d say
The guy from London, is that a typical London accent? Just curious
No. London has various accents depends on specific areas. Because of that, accents can be used to identify social class.
He was taken under the wing of a West Indian man in jail. He has a distinctly West Indian accent.
Song @ 29:15-29:50 ?
hey sparrow by peaking lights
@@anitadhm_ ah! Thank you !!! 🎧🎶🍩🌼
So not understanding...where is Craig's mother living, she doesn't have a couch that he can't stay? And how is she going to take care of a newborn?! It's one thing to be poor, but being poor and making poor choices. His mom failed him.
I think his moms done enough. wheres the dad?
Poor craig he a nice lad
Maybe the army would be a good thing for these young men. It would give them a hand up and teach them a responsibility.
4 years of guaranteed pay is a whole lot better than not being able to eat. And you know healthcare, a potential career and financial stability, and housing. Definitely better than hanging around in the streets waiting for food to fall from the sky.
Que panorama tan desolador en de ese pais. Qué futuro hay para esos jóvenes? Muchos terminarán en la delincuencia (?)
Ese es un país del "1er mundo" con una minoría de millonarios nadando en dinero y a la cabeza de un país (miren al nuevo MP) con cada vez más y más pobres. DESOLADOR....
He can afford cigarettes of course
It's sad that in a decade we stopped making documentaries and now everyone is just posting dumb stuff.
Education comes first. Only then will this cycle stop. UK benefits are too liberal. Immigration also adds to this horror. Economic immigration should be completely halted. Learn to speak English properly. Learn to dress for success.
Depending on what state you live in there’s lots of help in the U.S. My State of California is easy to get food assistance, rental assistance, cash, housing, everything. There’s free food giveaways in most towns in California every week. I qualify as a widow and low income to receive food assistance should I want it. But I don’t need it so I don’t take it but it’s there for me if I need it. I do not understand how the UK doesn’t take care of their people. I’m sorry but these young kids would never be this destitute in California. California has the fifth largest economy on the planet, and we take care of our own. We take care of immigrants. If we can do it I don’t understand how the UK cannot do it. Edited to say: We do have a homeless problem but are constantly looking for ways to help and we do have homeless shelters in most large cities
They can’t cause their royals are eating fancy dinners with pure gold plates
The rest of the country can F off
Not to mention that in Ca. drugs are really, REALLY cheap and plentiful, and all sorts of benefits help pay for them, plus sidewalks are free for dropping the drawers and unloading.
Yeah, there are a lot of freeloader and leeches in California. That's why tax payer like me moved away from that hellhole. Mfs don't wanna work but just want handouts from the state and federal. Shame on you people!
You can keep California my friend!
Yes, but you’re speaking from a female point of view, most government assistance is for woman & children. I’ve been paid taxes my whole working life, I get no help but for food & medical, they don’t care if I’m living in a gutter.
Is frankie trying to have a ghetto american accent?
what?
He was taken under the wing of a West Indian man in jail. He has a distinctly West Indian accent.
Dude if you were in America you would get about $1,000 a month in food stamps you would get a place to live with your electric paid your water paid and your gas All paid for and it would even give you a cash allowance. Now if you're like most people here and you have like five or six kids you get about $3,000 a month in food stamps
Liar
No one gets that amount of money in US unless they worked.
As an American I can say this is 100% true. Even illegal immigrants get this amount of money.
Your figures are off 😂
@@gta123987 no they dont. I work at welfare office.
I'm chokket that he got 2 years in prison.
I would guess he received a million points, a cup of tea and a pickle sandwich..then told NOOO mate, that's not nice now is it eeeyyy!!!
🤮
Britain is poor today due to four Generations of immigration from former colonies, and the third world.
