Answer 1

It is hard to get a job these days but you got to keep trying...i know it does suck though.  

Answer 2

I wouldnt feel bad if i were you. Could you imagine that there are some people who are dead, and wont even get the opportunity to want clothing. You are very fortunate to be alive, and anytime you are fortunate - there is a great deal of fortune! Plus God take care of everyone of his little ones so count your self bless.

Answer 3

It will be ok...try not to think about it and when your 16 get a job and buy those nice things you want. OR mow some lawns, clean up someones yard for some money save it up and get some thing nice for yourself, you can't get a "real" job but you can do side jobs :0) I grew up like that too.. Always wanting what other people had, not like my parents didnt have the money but they wanted me to be smart with it, so I got payless shoes and walmart clothes until I started doing side jobs and when I did that I went to TJMAXX/ ROSS/MARSHALLS and bought brand name stuff for less looked just as good too. You get more when you shop smart and can make anything look good. Sometimes even thrift stores or hand me down places have good stuff you just have to look for it.

People might not even notice if your a stand out nice guy either.

Try this: Go to Craigslist.org, Pick your State and City and post a classified for odd jobs after school, also state it has to be close to your home or off a bus line if your mom wont take you, and do that for a little while, money will add up and not only will you have nice things but you will know how great it is to have them and have respect for the things you own and how hard you worked for it :0) If you can't do that offer to do some peoples homework or something for a little $$ of course only if your good at it lol.

Don't cry about it though its not going to do anything for you ( I learned that) You have to do something about it. Good Luck..Don't feel so bad either a lot of people at your school probably have the same problem they just work with it.. learn how to work with it and you will be fine.

Oh, and you know kids can smell fear, be confident don't let it show keep your head up until you can get your stuff on your own. The higher you hold your head the less people will notice and if they say anything honestly... what does it mean to you they dont know you, they just know what your wearing and karma will get them in time..Just be confident your personality is your real brand name clothing ;0)
