Okay, I'm just going to start off by saying that this will be a little long so please bear with me :) Oh and this might seem totally materialistic and shallow but I can't help it, its really a problem for me.
I'm 14 and I'm seriously depressed. Here's the problem: I'm poor.. Not 'can't eat three meals a day' poor. Just 'can't afford a car' poor. Like middle class. Not that I care much about these things but everyone at my school does. My dad gets like a very normal salary but that's not enough so my mom has to work too. Together they put enough money for me to go this really good school. The thing is, the school fee is REALLY high, for people like me I mean. So only rich kids go there. So my parents own like this little apartment where we live, and they can buy me fancy clothes and stuff (not branded but not that its a problem) and we can eat out once in a while. But we just can't afford a car. And that's why I have no friends at school. Everyone there is rich, and has a car. I'm not and I can't afford one. So all my classmates are really mean to me. They don't talk much about money but that's why they don't like me. Shallow, I know, but what can I do? The guys totally ignore me and when they talk they're really mean. The girls act like they're my friends but they bitch about me all the time and they only call me when they need something done. I try so hard to fit in but I'm afraid I never will.. I can't become rich just to get friends. That wouldn't be real friendship. Is money all that matters? If so, will I always be alone in life? I'm sure I'll never ever get a boyfriend but I reaally want a friend :( And since I'm focusing so much on this my grades are dropping.. I used to top the class but now these mean girls do. I'm afraid I'm letting my parents down now too.. what do I do? Please don't make rude comments, reply to me only if you really want to help. Thanks in advance :)

Hello I just want to say I had a friend like you a couple of years ago(I'm 14 and in 9th grade) so I kinda know what you are going through. I know that you probably don't want to hear this but alot of people dont want to be friends with middle or lower class people because they are afarid that the people that they use to hang around with would laugh at them. Me on the other hand I don't care what others think about me but I do care what they think of my friends. If I were you I would concentrait on school and not on those around you. I know that its hard for me to say that but it is true. I know that you know what the true meaning of a dollar is and alot of people and I mean alot of people dont realize that. I know that you are very thankful for you parents and what they dfo for you. I do agree with Zane and Adviceman49 they do have a point. Just remember it is not what you have of what is on the outside, what matters is what is on the inside.

Hope I helped
If you need any more help please ask me
