Answer 1

When people feel jealous, they will say things like this, maybe not intending to hurt your feelings, but maybe to make themselves feel better. I wouldn't call you spoiled, I would just call you lucky. You sound like a wonderful person and I am sure none is trying to intentionally hurt you by what they are saying. Just tell people, you are loving and hard working and just don't like to be called spoiled. I wish I were you! I am 31, two kids and have struggle my entire life living here and there. Now working hard to make ends met and to buy what my children need. I am happy for people like you who have been given a good chance at a good life, it makes all the difference in the World. Have a great Holiday!

Answer 2

You're not spoiled, they're envious. If you are working at 15, you are doing a lot more than most girls your age.

But just to shut up those people who say you are spoiled, maybe you could shop for clothes at Wal-Mart or Target once in a while....

P.S. People are always jealous of what they don't have. If you're rich, they're jealous of your wealth. If you're smart, they're jealous of your intellect. If you're kind, they're jealous because people like you.

Sad to say, this is something that you will just have to learn to deal with. You aren't going to change human nature.

If you want to make some true friends, go to a college that's at least 500 miles or more from where you live so that the new friends you make at college won't know how wealthy your family is. But that means you need to live a more "normal" life - IOW, if your parents buy you a car, don't get an expensive luxury car, and as suggested above, don't spend so much on clothes.

If you are truly interested in having friends who care about the *real* you, that is......and from your question it sounds like you are.

Answer 3

Not necessarily spoiled, but maybe not prepared for some of the harsher realities of life. Then again, with family money you may never have to experience those realities, so maybe you'll be okay. I hope so.
Don't be so surprised that you get some resentment from folks who have less money as working adults than you have now. It's good that you give $20K a year to charity, but some of us bust our tails and don't earn that much all year and have apartments smaller than your closet. It's not you; it's the fact that hard-working people increasingly feel that they're treading water while the rich get richer, many of them while doing jack squat.
As long as you're actually worried about being spoiled you may be able to keep your head straight. Good Luck.

Answer 4

Let's see are you spoiled? Do you think you are entitled to all of these things? That you deserve them just because of who you are? From what you've written I think you would answer no. You work at a (hard) minimum wage job. You donate money. Do you plan on letting mommy and daddy support you for the rest of your life, or are you planning on going to college and starting your own career? I think I know the answer to that as well.
No, I don't think you are spoiled. I think you lead a very privileged life and sometime people get confused about the two.
If you want to try and get the comments to stop, I would recommend volunteering at a local charity, soup kitchen, Habitat for Humanity. Good Luck, and don't let jealousy get you down!

Answer 5

You don't sound spoiled and you say you don't brag but maybe jealous friends think you do. It sounds like you were lucky enough to be born to parents that could afford to give you nice things and still teach you that charity and working to make your own money is important. Don't let others opinions get to you. If you feel that you are a good person then be a good person.

Answer 6

I don't ordinarily answer such serious questions, but... It is likely that you are, to some extent anyway, spoiled. However, it is not likely that you have a problem with that - at least it doesn't sound that way. The bias you present in your question does not allow you to speak of the 'anti-spoiled' elements of yourself. I would hardly say a spoiled child, for example, holds down a job at Wendy's. Be sure to stay real, and keep your level of appreciation for things in life at a high level. You're fine...

Answer 7

If you have a job the likelihood that you are spoiled is dramatically cut. Also, do you help out with chores and stuff around the house? Do you help to provide care for a little sibling or a pet? Do you work hard in school? Are you involved in extracurricular activities?
To me being spoiled is not about how much you have or how expensive those things are, but rather about how much responsibility you have. A person who is not expected to take care of themselves in any manner, even though they are capable of doing so, is spoiled. A spoiled person can be rich or poor, so long as mommy or daddy bails them out of trouble and does all their work for them. A person who is responsible for their own welfare as much as possible, and attempts to help shoulder the responsibility of others in what ever way they can, is not spoiled. So, how much responsibility do you shoulder? Certainly you do not have to over burden yourself with responsibility, at your age doing well in school, helping out around the house and working is quite enough. Perhaps you do even more, and good for you. If you do less, well, you might want to step it up a little.

Answer 8

You are just lucky honey i think deep down you are a sweet girl and they all jealous...take my opinion i am telling you the truth.. i had to live on the street a while back not for long and growing up my mom used to wrap up my old toy's and give them to me again but that's the way the world works it's no ones fault as i was strong enough once to get on my feet...you should be strong enough to stay a good girl and not let it go to your head or to your friends... i have a rich friend and he doesn't work... so you at 15 are already on a better path...

Answer 9

You're not spoiled. You're just rich! And I'm happy to hear that u donate money to charities. You're a very lucky girl. Don't listen to your friends. they're just jealous. Maybe if you take them ovr to your house a lot they'll stop saying those things.

What rude comments! You're not bragging! I'm sure. The people here are jealous as well.

Answer 10

You are not spoiled, You are just rich. You never scream and cry so you can get what you want. People are just jealous that they don't have as much stuff. Don't let people make you feel bad. Oh and by the way, don't donate that much money to charity because I think they don't give it to help poor people. And I (no offense) don't like Wendy's. I never been there.
