Feel guilty for having a lot of stuff?

Question

my parents give me a lot of nice things like I have a new computer, private school, a nice room, I have some good clothes and just a lot of stuff and I get what I want a lot. I help out around the house a lot, sometimes I do the dishes and clean a little, but sometimes I feel bad for having nice things. When I think about poor people and when my dad tells me stuff about how things used to be when he was a kid it makes me feel guilty, and my friend has to have a job and get her own stuff and she's only 14 and I can't stop feeling guilty for getting it kind of easy.

Answer 1

It's not your fault. You are fortunate. You can donate clothes/food/time etc. if it bothers you that much.

Answer 2

You really don't need to feel guilty but as you do maybe you could give something back; for example get involved in some charity work or something  

Answer 3

I think you are an awesome person. This is good because you do not expect any thing or demand things from your parents. You realize the blessings that you are given. Thank God for your blessings and whenever you have the opportunity give some of your clothing to a worthy organization. Share some of what you have and you will see how that will make you feel better. To show gratitude to your parents, continue to help around the house you may be surprised how much that says "thank you" then just the words alone. Please do not change, you have a beautiful spirit. God bless you!
