mates, money and copying
Me and my friend (lets call her ellie) are both 13, we both wanted to get the same job but her mum already knew people who worked there so she got ellie a job and now they dont want any more workers. The thing is, ellie will now get about £25 a week from her job plus 8 quid pocket money and the fact that her parents buy her things all the time. I only get a fiver a week, and although you probably think i'm just jealous, what i get annoyed about is the fact that i'll say i really want something (mostly clothes and accessories) and that i'm gonna save up for it, but after ive said that, she goes and buys it for herself straight away cos shes got the money to do it. Then, once ive saved up, if i buy the top or whatever it always looks like ive copied HER so i dont usually get the things i want or i do and then get accused of copying, please help, how can i get more money, and stop her buying things straight after ive said i like them?

Get a job by yourself. Babysit if you have to. And when you like something, don't tell her about it, because then she'll buy it. But then again, if you buy it and she likes it, she might buy it too. But still, when you get a job, buy your stuff & be happy. And don't tell her what you like anymore. She's gonna constantly copy.

The easiest answer? Don't tell Ellie what you like. If she is constantly copying you, the quickest way to stop her is by keeping some stuff to yourself. If you like a top, save up for it, buy it, and look fabulous.
You can also try talking to Ellie about how you feel, if you think she'll respond in a mature way.
Finally, you may be able to find other work. Babysitting can pay quite well, and free CPR/babysitting courses are available to help you get good work. You can also talk to your family about doing extra work around the house in exchange for more pocket money.
Best of luck.

dear mates, money, copying,
the only thing you can do is get a job all by yourself. Don't tell HER what you want because then she will only want to get you jealous. SO just don't tell ellie, and just go get a job without her, and be happy, instead of annoyed!!

The only thing you can really do is either get another simple job like babysitting. And when you find something you like and want to buy dont tell your friend that you want it and so that way she can't go out right away and buy it. When you have enough money buy the think you like.
Hope it helps a little bit atleast

You can wait and see if there will be a job opening for her job if an employee quits...you can do baby sitting...deliver newspapers.....ask your mom or relatives if you can do things inside there house for some extra cash.
Also don't tell your friend that you like something or that you would like to get it because she is probably going to always get it just to prove to you that she has all this money if you like something just keep it to yourself and go on your own with your parents and get the top yourself. Then she wont have it she might get it after you but then she would be copying you...
