How do I get my mom to buy me clothes
I am only 10going on 11and I have the worries and stress of an average teen! First off we are NOT poor! My mom is a doctor and my dad is a pharmacist. They don't have to pay for childcare cause my dad works when my is off.i have literally clothes that would be considered " babyish" for a 7 year old. I have very little clothes. Please don't think I'm a spoiled brat who is complaining when she doesn't get what she wants. In 2nd grade rumors were going around because if my clothes.everybody expet for my 2 friends looked at me like a was a monster. This has been going on scince then, but I try to ignore it. I am willing to pay for it from my own $but my mom says I have enough clothes. Am I crazy for wanting more clothes??am I ungrateful? According to my mom I am. HELP???

Maybe give some free advice about: Families?
People always respond better when you ask them for something specific. Instead of asking for "some clothes", work out what items you want and ask for that.
I don't know anything about clothes, but the other advice you have been getting about simple pieces that work with everything sounds like good advice, and grown-up.
Do you go to the mall? (Duh, of course you do) Maybe choose some items, and keep track of the prices.
BTW: just because you are "not poor" doesn't mean money doesn't matter - you probably don't know what your parent's money situation actually is. The main problem with buying clothes for someone your age is that you grow out of them so quickly.
Other option is to ask your parents for an amount they think makes sense - no, I don't mean for them to hand you some money, I mean for a budget. Choose some stuff keeping in that limit, and then go say "this is what I would like". Bonus points if you choose a time period, like "amount for stuff to wear to school until winter", maybe.
Window-shopping with a budget in mind is great practice for life later on.

Hey! I am 14 and you're a girl, clothes is a normal wanting! I so have enough clothes but I always want more. Here's a quick list of what to buy next time you get to go shopping on a budget (:
For the money:
sell some of the "so called" baby clothes at a store that takes in clothes (for your age group) and pays you. Discount shops and thrift stores.
Shopping:
Okay, so I am in high school, you're in middle school. Go for skinny jeans, cute belts (no prints or words on the shirts, no aeropastel either) Go for shirts that have no sparkles or anything, cute clothing like these;

You will NEVER go wrong with simple yet fashionable outfits! Combat Boots are cute too! I love stuff like this and I promise you everyone else does too. Even if that person might not wear these kind of clothes, they will still like it on you or be envious of you.
Shops you can purchase these clothes are places like:
Wet Seal
Forever 21
Abrecrombie (NOT FOR THE KIDS, MEANING NO FITCH, JUST ABRECROMBIE)
Pacsun
Charlotte Russe
2 cute
and other stores like this
OR any antique or vintage, indie, free stuff.
(brandy Mel Ville, Urban Outfitters etc.)
Just stay on the free app: weheartit because they have really cute stuff so look up something like clothes or a store to see what you should buy(:
Goodluck! Get out of the kiddie stages and conquer xo

Well just because you aren't poor, doesn't mean that your parents can afford to buy you new clothes.
There are some parents who maintain a comfortable income to pay the bills, mortgage, car payments, groceries, debts, ect.
In this economy, it's hard even for people who have good jobs.
I don't think you're a spoiled brat. I just think you're not old enough to realize the problems parents can have and afford.
You shouldn't care about what other people think. You're only 10, you don't need to stress out over clothes. When you're older, it won't matter.
So just be grateful for now.
I'd say talk to your mom, maybe see if you can get a couple new outfits. If she really won't let you get new clothes, then just let it be until you can.

First: you are not a teenager, you are ten very much still a young adolescent child.
Second: even though mom and dad work at very good professions they may not be as rich as you think they are. You are not poor but you may not be rich either. Your parents most likely maintain what is known as a comfortable income.
Third: at your age I would say you are going into fifth or sixth grade. This would be the last year of elementary school or the first year of middle school in the area I live in.
Mom should be buying you age appropriate clothing. This means it should be like the other children are wearing but does not or should not be designer label clothes. Designer label clothing is expensive, given how fast children your age grow out of their clothing it is inappropriate to spend money on a label when a lookalike store label is just a good; and of better value. Mom can buy you more for less. This includes shoes which children go through or can go through several sizes in a year at your age.
You are about to enter puberty if you are not already in puberty. Your body is going to start changing dramatically very soon. When it does your clothing needs will change quickly and often. What would you rather have; one or two designer label outfits you can wear school or half a dozen store brand lookalikes you can mix and match.
My advice is to slow down; you are rushing to be something you are not old enough to be. If you are being teased in school because of your clothes then ask a teacher to speak to mom.
If you're being teased because your clothes are not designer label but are lookalikes then the problem is on the spoiled brats in your school whose parents are indulging them with clothing they really do not need. Their clothes are really only to impress their parents friend in how well they can clothe their children.
I don't expect you to understand those last few lines. What it means is those children's parents are showing off for their parents friends. You may be counting money in your parents pocketbook that may not be there. So make sure you have a problem before you complain.

Honey , you are only ten . You shouldn't feel pressure about looking good . Its all about the inside. You get what you receive and always be thankful for what you got. Yes you may have a " little " but remember there's people who have absolutely nothing. Always stay humble . Stop worrying about the world . There is always going to be judgment either way. The more you get clothes , the more you want. Stop worrying about looking good , always stay humble. Because you don't got it bad !

Don't let the people around you change your mind about the way you dress. But if you really want new clothes, just make the excuse that your old clothes don't fit you anymore and you are beginning to grow in to a new style.
Styles are always constantly changing and we all want new clothes to look nice in public. Since school is starting soon, you could also make the excuse that you want a new back-to-school outfit to look like a new, fresh person.
