My friend is super lucky?
My friend is super lucky. Her parents make a lot of money, she always gets to buy merchandise for her favorite youtubers and so on. She has a nice, cool, older sister, who has the same tastes as her, and is amazing at art. She gets to go to concerts, and I remember complaining that a musical I ABSOLUTELY love is expensive, but I really want to go, and she's going later this month. She has a dog, a cat, and a hamster. She's super pretty, and has a lot of friends, and all the boys like her. I love her to death, she's my best friend, funny and kind and sarcastic and mean but in a loving way. I need help.

It is true that you did not ask specifically for help with a particular thing. However from what you wrote that she has vs. you not having any of that, you are probably feeling envy which is wanting something that another person has. Sure I'd like the kind of income some celebrities have so I can live a lot more comfortably but I am living out of my van. I use coffee shops to get on here and try to help people who write in.
When a person feels envy and there is no way life will change enough for you to obtain everything she has, the best thing is to focus on what you do have. Watch a disabled or elderly person trying to cross the street. See how slow and unsteady their steps are. And when I see this I silently say, Thank you God that I have two strong legs. When I see a blind or legally blind person, I am thankful that even though I am both near sighted and have some double vision, that I at least still can see. YOu get the picture. If you can be thankful for things like this, the kind of things that money can't buy, you will leaern how to be content with what you have. People who have it so called Easy, with everything they could ever want are in fact often the ones who aren't happy. After a while, with no challenge in life or struggles to go through, they can become bored with life, or strive to get the kind of joy and happiness you have by buying it which isn't possible. Be glad for her and enjoy spending time with her. If she forgets that you and others can't just decide to go to something like a movie or concert and have the money for it, then remind her. Tell her you enjoy spending time with her but since your family is on a tight budget, there is no room for even a one time trip to a concert. So ask her to come up with things that won't cost like when her family or yours go camping, invite the other along. My teens did that alot and had fun. There are things that don't cost money.

You're asking for help but did not say what kind of help you want or need. We cannot help you get tickets for that Musical if that is what you are asking for. Write back and be specific on what help you wish for.
