hiya, i was born in Turkey but moved to the UK when i was 3 years of age, since then ive been to Turkey once and that was only for 2weeks. ive lived in London all my life and ive started to notice that i feel stuck in between two cultures.
ok i might be turkish and i do love my Turkish background but cos ive lived nearly all my life in England ive been exposed to both the british culture and turkish culture and therefore cant adapt to both at the same time.
i prefer the english culture to be honest, it could be because ive been brought up here and therefore, im so used to that but i always have arguments with my mother (don't live with my father) because we cant seem to agree on things. her ideas come across backward and i get so annoyed?!?!
i really don't know what to do because either im gonna have to act like i agree with my mothers views and be unhappy, or im gonna stick to what i feel comfortable with and have my mother constantly in my face telling me this isn't acceptable and that isn't acceptable.
is anyone in my position?
and has anyone got any advice cos im really fed up.
cheers.
