ok,i have two bestfriends Aimee and Vanessa, the thing is both of them live in gigogantic houses,both parents togehter,money,everything that i dont well ok i have the looks and attitude but the thing is i always get jealous.its not good for me to feel this way but its hard not to.I dont want to jeapordise our friendships because their lives are better,but what do i do? i dont want to feel this way!!
that your charectistics and your family are worth more than money,money cannot by anything like that.You,your family and friends are way better and are priceless.....and I'm sure that your friends think that your worth more than a lousy car or house....money is powerful but i bet their parents can't buy your personaltity or your looks.
Just because they have more things dosnt mean they have a better value of life than you i mean what would your rather
money or someone you can relate,love,trust or have fun with???Money cant do that stuff with you..............
you are unique and special and there is something about your that makes you different.That thing is something noone will ever take away from you and don't ever forget that your specialness is 100% more important that money and houses.

Jealousy is iminent, but it seriously will go away if your friendship is strong enough. Just dont think about it, you are just as good as them, if not better because you dont have things handed to you. Unless their rubbing it in your face, in which case you should just tell them that it bothers you, time will heal this wound.
Also - think about your values some. Their lives are def. not better than yours just because of money. You need to learn to be happy in the life your given. If you can do that, you wont ever have a jelousy problem because you wont be thinking about it. [ grlwithabrokensmile's advice column | Ask grlwithabrokensmile A Question ]
caramella answered Thursday March 29 2007, 8:56 am: jealousy is very bad you should try never to feel it.It eats you up and turns you into a monster that everyone hates.You have something they dont have and they have something you dont!Sit and think about that.What is it you have that they dont?It doesnt have to be money or looks or popularity.It can be something inside of you that they dont have.Nothing remains the same anyways,one day if you work hard you can have the best life ever and all the money you want.Just do well in school get a good college degree and work something thatll get you money.You have the looks and the attitude what more can you want!Money will come one day but personality and looks are really hard to get you know.Be confident and happy with what you got or one day youll lose it all.

christina answered Thursday March 29 2007, 8:26 am: When other people have more, it's hard not to get jealous. And it's completely normal. But remember, money doesn't bring happiness. Love, friendship & family do. Those are the important things. Money [though the world revolves around it] is just another thing. And the things you own are just materials. Everyone takes them for granted.
But you know, you're always gonna be better than your friends. And I bet you're wondering how I figure that. Well, your friends can ask for money, and it'll always just be handed to them. But you will end up learning the value of your money, and what hard work can do. You'll earn everything you work for, while all they have to do is go to mommy & daddy for a quick buck. They'll never know how it feels to earn something. So you're better than them, really. Just think of it that way, but don't get arrogant. Just be confident, and know that what you've got is okay. Money isn't everything, trust me when I tell you that. [ christina's advice column | Ask christina A Question ]
