Don't think about it. Appreciate what you have. You have to realize that there is nothing you can do about it and move on. Get a job and save up some money so you can maybe go with her. Just try not to let it get to you!!

Start appreciating what you have. If she is a bragger about it, realize that the reason she brags so much is because she's so insecure that she needs to make you feel terrible about her good fortune.
If you want to go on trips, examine the reasons you are not now (money, work scheduling, etc.) and try to take actions that will remedy the problem. But, overall, I would recommend that you not be so covetous of your friend's good fortune that you let that green eyed monster get a hold of you. He'll eat you up in no time.

Jealousy is something everyone feels at one time or another. It is OK to feel it and pretty grown up of you to acknowledge it.
That being said, look at your own life. Are you happy? If not, make it your responsibility to find your own happiness and realize it is not from trips and material things. You can work hard and get a good education and eventually a career that you work hard for and you can obtain those things on your own. In the meantime, concentrate on being a good person, polite, respectful and be happy for your friend.

sweetie, we all have been jealous of someone at one time or another. especailly when we were younger..and it sounds like you are very young..she may have the things you may seem to what and is able to go places that you can't..but trust me, that isn't what your life is all about..you can have all the money in the world and still be unhappy..just love yourself for who and what you are..there may be a reason why she seems to get whatever she wants..maybe her family gives her stuff so that they don't have to do things with her..she may go places and have all the stuff, but look within and you may see that she is lacking some kind of love also..blessings

I am in a similar situation and you would not believe the responses I am getting. Jealousy sucks but some people are more fortunate than others. If you can't handle it maybe you should back off a little and regroup. Good Luck

Jealousy is not healthy.
Many people feel jealous of others, but if you think is usually because they do not come to accept what they can have according to their possibilities.
Is great to have things but if you can not have them why would not other people who can have them not enjoy themseves.
We that can not travel everywhere that we will like to go have to make up short trips that are accessible to our budgets and enjoy those.

Try to get a hobby, and maybe another friend. Find things that will make you enjoy yourself. Do your nails. Get your hair done. Go on a shopping spree. Do you have a boyfriend? If not, get one!
If you want to travel, save and take a trip.

It is good you understand you feelings, but being jealous of others will only bring unhappiness. Understand life is not fair and appreciate what you have there is always someone less fortunate the yourself. Look up the definition of friend, are you being one?

My first thought was, think of things that you have or you are good at that she isn't, but it's not a competition. You need to learn to be happy for her. If she's a ***** and she rubs it in your face or if you just can't get over it, then maybe you two shouldn't be friends. If you are just a competitve person, find a poor girl to be friends with.

No worrys! That happend to me many times! I was like to my friend " Cool Earrings! I wish I had them too! " On the phone with my friend. then she said " Yeah , yeah, whatever! So um you wanna come over I got something for you! " I was like ok ... I'll ask...
So then we went and I saw those earrings and , POOF! She bought me some too!
NOTE : Don't be jealous, you don't wanna ruin your friendship...right? Who knows ?! Tell her what you want for XMAS And who knows that might be her gift to you!
Remember : FRIENDS ARE THERE TO HELP YOU , NOT TO MAKE YOU MAD
