My Friends call me Poor?
I am very fortunate to go to a great school because of a scholarship. I am pretty smart, and friendly. I love to hang out with friends. I've always considered myself fortunate, I have a nice family, house, a sister, and even my own computer now. I have friends who are a bit more privileged though. A lot of my friends play videogames, and I can't play with them because I don't have an Xbox, etc. I don't have a phone, so I talk with them at school. I feel bad when people ask for my phone number, I give them my home phone or a fake one. Lately, a lot of people have been calling me poor. It's really annoying, I say I don't want to buy (insert thing here), they say I'm poor. They always compare me to themselves. I feel so bad. I feel so bad all the time because I get taunted for being smart, short, and they call me poor. I don't know what to do.
My friends call me a douche bag?
My friends call me this because I wear nice clothing and I have a high vocab when I describe someone. I have a preppy girlfriend and I will always get the girls to fall in love with me or become my friends because of my great attitude and how romantic I am. I don't use cuss words around them. I always keep my hair short and clean. I take very good care of myself and I never smell. I will shop at Lacoste or any expensive clothes. I'm 15 and in high school. Well my other friend has long blonde hair and wear bad clothing and smells. My other friend is fat with curly hair and is very poor. They both are. I feel very sad for them. Are they jealous?
Why did my friends make fun of me for being poor?
Surely, you know that these kids are friends of no one - they are spoiled brats with no respect. You should get away from them - far away - and get some human beings for friends (these guys sound like animals).
My best friend basically called me poor?!?
My family used to be pretty wealthy, and my dad was an investor...we were building many homes in Africa for children when someone hikacked his account and now he is in jail because he couldnt pay his clients back....my parents are divorced now and my mom makes a little over minimum wage to feed 5 kids and pay all the bills...so today my only friends were talking about joining a dance club and I asked if I could do it with them...one of them turned around and said : Um...I think it is too expensive for your family and then laughed I felt so embarassed and like crying. I go to a school that is really small...there is one class per grade and 27 kids per class..I have no other friends in that class and everyone already has their group of friends....im in eighth grade (if that helps) I feel worthless. It really hurt me that she laughed....

I am poor but my friends think I am a miser, what should I do?
First of all, never be ashamed of yourself!Secondly, never try to show people what you are not, stay with people who can understand your situation and help you feeling better. A good friend is not who can spend lot of money instead a good friend is someone who respects your dignity even you are poor. Be proud of yourself and thank GOD to give you opportunity to prove yourself! they are rich hence if they will do anything good people will conclude that they done it with help of their parents but you have a good opportunity to prove yourself and build your own identity and make others feels comfortable specially those who are like you! come out of illusion of world and be yourself, Simply tell your friends that you don’t have enough money to spend such as you are poor and never accept anything from them also because they are expecting a return which you are not capable of right now. Just utilize the opportunity and prove that you are poor but still have ability to make your own identity that too without anyone’s help.
Am I spoiled or are my friends just poor and jealous?
Am I spoiled? My friends at school say I am but I'm just asking. Btw I'm 13:) I ONLY shop at Chanel, Prada, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, and sometimes Guess. I have 38 pairs of shoes, and 29 handbags to match the shoes. I have 3 Prada sunglasses, ( black and gold, pink and white, orange and yellow) 2 Chanel sunglasses( pink and black, black and white) 4 Chanel handbags, Prada handbags and wallets, Louis Vuitton suitcase and wallet. I have the Ipad, and iPad 3, 2011 MacBook pro, DS, DSI, 3DS, and a wii. I live in a three story house, with my own room, a 68 inch flat screen tv, (in my room) my own bathroom, and walk in wardrobe, with lights shinning down onto everything. We own a house in London, and a boat that we go to every month. I have two puppy's, and a pony called Princess. My whole room is filled with French Provincial furniture, and huge paintings of me and my mum. My best friend hasn't even got half the stuff I do and I think she is REALLY jealous. Her family can only afford one computer, when everyone in my family has at least 2! She lives in a boring old flat and I live up in the hill, where all the good people live. She hardly gets whatever she wants, and I get everything. Am I spoiled or is my friend just poor poor and jealous? I'm sure there are other kids like me.
How do very rich people deal with very poor family and friends asking for money?
My wife and I are deca-millionares, and while my family “knows” we have money they have NO IDEA how much. We live simply, but in a nice house, we have nice things and we travel, a lot. We both still work, and we have great jobs and make nearly $500,000 a year (including passive income).My sisters are both horrible with money, don’t save, don’t plan and one lives WELL BEYOND HER MEANS. It was this sister that texted my wife about 5 months ago and told her that her out of control debt was taking a toll on her health and told her she had a plan to get out of debt and that we needed to give her (GIVE HER) $22,000.I called her, informed her that we didn’t have that kind of money laying around… we in fact had over $200,000 in savings, but how would she know. The fact is that my sister was asking my wife and I to pay for her out of control lifestyle with what we spend in a year in vacations… we’re frugal with our cash, and there was ZERO chance we were going to bail her out of her hole. I offered to pay for her and her son to go to Dave Ramsey’s ‘Financial Peace University’… she passed. I offered for buy 50 acres she owns… she passed… I quit offering.She’s taken more vacations and bought more stuff… is she OK? I have no idea… It’s not our job to save people who will not work HARD to save themselves. I listen to Ramsey and every day hear people who worked HARD to bail themselves out of debt… little sister hasn’t lifted a finger except to order take out.As for friends or distant family, the response would be less warm… Seriously, where do people find the balls to ask for other people to pay for their lifestyle.Now, if she came to me with a business plan and needed an investor, and the plan seemed viable, I might (under the right terms) invest… but loan, or GIVE money… NOPE. Once the “Bank of Brother” opens for business, it’s not a good thing…
Why does my friend call me names so much and ignore me and make me suffer, yet is still open to being my friend?
- Many a times creative people are sadistic people.- Many a times a relationship starts nice and sweet. People are usually courteous and nice to each other and respond more affirmatively in the beginning. Courteousness and manners are many a times are just masks and they grow as burden with time. After a point people just throw away their masks and respond in the most natural way that they can. Its not that they would become cruel after the mask is gone but in effect they may not be as sweet as they were earlier. - The mask also extends to "respecting" others opinions and not mentioning you true opinions. Once this mask bears down people start showing their objections, true opinions as disappointments. The recipients who are used to the affirmative and sweet behavior, experience a shock and conclude that the other person has changed and feel guilty of doing something [they are not aware of] which has led the change in the other person. One of the more absolute ways to deal with this is to slowly fade out of the relationship. The other person is now only feeding on your submissiveness. If you wont submit the other person wont be satisfied and would be more cruel to you. the relationship is no longer symbiotic and hence you should find opportunities to terminate it. In the future when the person comes back to say hi/hello you should keep the relationship platonic and plain. Remember its not your fault that the other person "changed". You gave a lot to the relationship and you played your part. Look for someone/something else now. Because holding on to this is like stabbing yourself.I have seen this behaviour very often.All the best with your future search of better friends. May your life blossom with love, happiness and friendship.
