I dont fit in cause im rich?? i have low confidence because of this?

Question

ok im 14 about to start my freshman year in high school and my middle school years were awful i had no friends and everyone made fun of me cause im not skinny and rich. there were so many people who rejected me because of how i look and called me fat and everything. now after all these years im now beating myself up and putting myself down cause im fat and not rich(im middle/poor class) and this year im going to a public school that is an A school and alot of rich preppy kids are gonna go there too. im really afraid to go because i know im gonna be the only one there thats singled out also because im black. i really want to be a rockstar but im really afraid to be myself...its gotten me nowhere. and i see all the rich kids who have alot of money and can buy everything and are always happy and laughing and popular and have alot of friends and i barely have any money and i have an rlly old ugly phone and a raggedy mp3 player and i know that when the rich kids see how i dress that im not rich and i wont get any friends. idk maybe i should drop out of school so i wont have to face it again im too afraid i cry every night because im not rich...ive been thinking about lying to fit in saying im rich and dressing like it? is that the right thing to do?? i really wanna fit in with the rich popular crowd?? im really afraid to show them who i rlly am...

Answer 1

I'm sorry to hear that..

but instead of putting yourself down, try to make you think good of yourself. Just be Yourself~

Maybe if you think your fat, lose weight, but looks shouldnt even count.

But please do not drop out of school.. You could do better..

Maybe someday, you'll be the most richest out of all of those s****. kids and forgive them..

for help making you a stronger person..

though right now seems really tough, just work your hardest and you just may make it through. I'm not saying to TRY to fit in by squandering your money on things or being something your not..

also, maybe you wanna go church? a lot of kind people there, and you dont have to have money.. just find the right one though..

I dont think the reason is that your black..hopefully.. maybe you wanna talk to  school counselor as well? You dont have to force yourself to "fit in" .. You are who you are and they shouldnt be the ones to force you to not be.

May God be with you..

Dress like it.

Answer 3

No one that suceeds in life ever likes high school, and those that really like high school usually never get very far in the real world.

I was shy, but I learned the way to beat it is to pretend like I wasn't.  It sounds crazy, and it really uncomftorable, but as you play that confidence role, you really start to adopt it as real.

As far as the money, I can only hope you realize that there is so much more to life.  I grew up dirt poor and wanted money, then I worked at a country club and realized all the unhappiness and burden it caused.

I do not want to be rich, but I am very educated.  You can love a job that pays well for what you get to do in life, not the monetary rewards.

Good luck.

Answer 4

i cant understand why there is this problem. why would you want to hang around with s****. people that don't like you? it makes no sense. i cant imagine living life when the only thing that counts is what your money can buy-whatever happened to being a good and decent person? i don't think any of my friends are that vain and egotistical.
