   I think the key is to stop comparing your things to your friends’… Know that you always have something that is more auperior than what any other people have that you can always be thankful for. Fot example these friends of yours may have more materialistic things than you do, but maybe you have a much happier family, have a better personality, are more talented in sports, more stylish etc. These things that cannot be measured by wealth, arr what are actually really precious and add meaning to ones life. Others may seem to own more things, but that doesn’t mean they are happier or better than you are. So stop comparing yourself to others and be thankful for every single thing you have, and don’t be surprised if these friends end up being the ones jealous of you count your blessings!

   It’s not easy to be jealous but go back and read the list of stuff that YOU DO have. As I tell my children all the time. There are people out here even worse off then you. Children that don’t have but one pair of clothes, no bags at all, no home at all, and just forget the idea of a phone! Be thankful for all you have, get a good education, a good job and then buy the stuff you want (name brand, etc) at that point you will feel so much better because you worked for it all on your own.
   GOOD LUCK! (try not to worry to much about “material things”

   When you move out- especially if you go to uni and start living as poor students- you’re all going to end up living on the same kinds of budgets. They’re going to be the ones who suddenly have to cope with ridiculously expensive stuff any more like some kind of rags to riches situation. Normal people like you and I will take it in our stride ;]

   Supre, the best place on earth.
   Target isn’t so bad.
   You shouldn’t be jealous of your friends. It’s not about where you buy your clothes , or your hour house, or your phone.
   It’s about being yourself, and liking yourself for who you are.

   who cares what everyone else has?
   they’re no doubt just snobby b*tches who dont give a damn about anyone or anything but themselves and their high dollar items.
   why would you want to be like them…
   their just clothes, you could be someone with absolutely nothing…
   so quit being needy and get over it.

    Be thankful for what you have! A lot of people I know are like your friends, but I blessed into a very fortunate family and I had was like them to a higher degree (private jets, beach houses, etc..). Everyone thought I was really wealthy and better than everyone else… when I wasn’t.
    You need to stop being jealous of them and appreciate what you have. You have a family. Be thankful for that :] Money comes and goes, but family is always there.
    I wish someone had told me this because I lost that money. I still have the purses and the clothes but they’re all old. Now I wake up not knowing if I’m able to go back to school or if my house has been sold. It’s hard, especially because I don’t have a family now. When my family was wealthier, I was raised by nannies as my parents were always attending charity functions and business meetings. Now, however, my father is in jail for fraud, embezzlement, money laundering, and lying under oath. My mom is an alcoholic who is severely depressed because she has lost all of her friends. My extended family has disowned us because we used to provide for everyone. I don’t have money nor a family anymore.
    Literally, my family is my nannies, chef, and house keepers whom are all now ex employees. I email each and every one of them, but I haven’t seen most since I was 8 or 9. I’m fourteen now.
    My life is not what people think it is. It’s tough and I struggle at times. Just please, please, please cherish your family. Material items are just that — items. They aren’t anything important. All you need is food, water, shelter, and tender loving care [tlc].
    That is how you cannot be jealous. Think of the positive in your life.
