15/f
ok so im a fresham, and like i went to a private school before, now i go to a public one. and i talk to like everyone at this big table in one of my classes, and this one girl will be like you never repeat your clothes. and they call me spoiled and everything, and say i have everything. which i mean, im not used to talking to people who dont have as much as me. because at my old school, id be like oh i have 15 pairs of jeans. and another girl would be like oh i have 20. you know what i mean? how can i stop myself from saying about things i have? they always talk to me about it. so its not like im bragging.

I've been in the same sitation. The fact is, when you have more than the people around you, some people are gonna be jealous. And even if you never brag or act conceited, those jealous people are going to look for any opportunity to say, "Oh, she thinks she's so great!"
So, if you don't want people to think you're spoiled or stuck up, you have to be really careful not to give them ANY reason to be able to say that.
When people ask you how many pairs of jeans you have, or whatever, just say, "oh, I don't know"... and then change the subject. And of course, never bring it up yourself! If you're talking to people who you think don't have something that you have, try not to mention it unless it absolutely has to come up as part of the conversation. Just always be thinking, "Is this person gonna think I'm bragging if I say this?"
That doesn't mean you have to lie or be secretive about what you have... just always be careful about how you talk about it.

Jealousy is a common human trait. These girls are just upset that you have what they would like to have. I suggest that you find something your good at (e.i. a hobby or talent, music, art) and talk about that in your conversations. Avoid questions that involve how much you have by saying something along the lines of "that doesn't matter" or "what does that have to do with what were talking about." When I went to school it was the same, I was spoiled and would tell everyone about it, but then I stopped and avoided those questions and I became quite popular. By the end of school I was the most popular person in school.
Hope this helped and good luck o^-^o
