Poor girl, rich friends- in private school

Question

help i need somebody! help, not just anybody! hellllllp!

its mortifying, my private school!

none of my friends have been to my house, and they all think i'm so rich.

everybody wears abercrombie, juicy, MARC Jacobs big one, coach, prada, even channel,

and im only in 8th grade.

i came in 6th grade, and it was all about what you had and who you dated and which parties you went to, so nobody bothered to ask me how rich i was, so i played along with the little game. i pretended i was fairly wealthy. im not on a scholarship, but i might have to go on one. so i wore a little abercrombie once in a while, but just enough to get everybody not suspicious. the asked me who my favorite designer was, and i said prada. they asked me why i never wore any, and i said 'i save it for parties, duh! havent you seen famous people like Brittany, mariah and witherspoon? they all dress whatev on working days, and awesome on parties. two diff identities, dont you know that?"

so i dont know what to do! no $$ left this year, i HATE styles of target and walmart, and everybody now looks at me as a fashion icon because i overspent last year. =[

even the dorks and losers in my school are WWWWWWWWEATLHY FRICKING RICH!

Answer 1

Maybe you should stop pretending to be somebody you are not. Why do you care so much about what the shallow people think of you? Eventually, someone is going to find out the truth, so stop lying already.

If you really have "fashion icon" status, then you can parlay that into a new style. Look at books like Generation T, about turning a boring T shirt into something awesome. Or check out the website Crafster, where people share pretty neat ideas for homemade styles.

It is a risk, since either people will think it's awesome and start copying you, or people will shun you for not wearing super boring clothes that are only popular because they are expensive. But if this happens, you will find out who your true friends are, and maybe you will find out that those "dorks" are the best friends you could ever ask for.

Answer 2

I feel the exact same.

Private school. Rich friends. Mediocre life.

There's always birthdays and the Holiday season.

Making wish lists full of designer clothes and bags would help.

You could always get a part time job and earn money.

Or even just a couple of jobs around the neighborhood raking leaves or mowing the lawn could bring in some extra bucks.

Other than that, it doesn't matter what you wear. It's just about living life and having a good time. I know you're not happy with your clothes, but don't let it take everything else down, too. Show people your a kick - a** girl even without the clothes. They'll be dazzled!

Good luck! Hope I helped! :]

Answer 3

don't be scared. my friend thinks out of the box.she got a simple blue shirt and put white beads around the shirt like a belt. then tied her hair in a pony tail and wore short jeans, like Capri's. if you go to areopastel, in almost any mall, they have sales all the time.they have very nice stuff. some shirts are like $12. they now have a coupon where you get to save $10 over and over again. no charge, just give them the coupon and you just saved $10!  the store also has plain t- shirts like a hot pink shirt with a tiny butterfly in the corner. it is a teen store.

there is also pacsun and hollitser. also in  any mall. there is also my favorite store, delilah. it has cute shirts that has a # 2 pencil saying i want to be # 1. its not expensive. you get $20 off if you spend more than $20
