How Privileged Are You?

I took the quiz “How Privileged Are You?” and scored 74/100.  It said I’m quite privileged, and have had a few struggles, but overall my life has been far easier than most. This is not a bad thing, nor is it something to be ashamed of. But I should be aware of my advantages and work to help others who don't have them.  In reading through some of the statements I thought to myself that I do not even have to think of those unpleasant circumstances ever.  I feel very privileged in that sense.  I can’t imagine having to live with any of those things happening to me daily.  Other than knowing it's wrong, I don’t have any idea how it feels, to even begin to understand how others may feel.
