i am socially excluded because of my poverty. is this phenomenon uniquely singaporean? i cant participate in a lot of conversations because i am too poor to engage in many activities. i have become depressed because of it. is mental illness and poverty a vicious cycle? i was born poor and neglected most of my life. now im grown up my parents expect me to support them. but they have neglected me most of my life and i am now ill. life isnt fair.....

If you keep continue thinking of begin poor, you WILL continued to being a poor man, think about how fortunate are you compare to those in even poorer countries.
As for supporting your parents, I guess you just have to try your best to make sure they have their daily needs, don't need to support them in a big way, just try your best, afterall they are your parents.
