They brag because they are insecure and they believe if others believe they have a lot of money and things that other people will be envious of them. This equals worth in their heads, but they are confused. In my opinion to truly be "rich" means to be secure in yourself, to have true friends and love (both for yourself and others). Money and things can come and go, but that should not change who you are inside. It is like if they can convince others they are to be envied they may actually start to believe it themselves...problem is it just doesn't work that way.

Most of the time people brag about things, like being rich, or all the material items they have because they think it will impress people, but really they just have little or no self-esteem, and that is the only way to make them feel good about themselves.
If she is really a good friend try to talk to her about it and point out some of her best qualities as a person, and that she should feel good about those, and doesn't need to brag about things to make her feel better.
It just makes other people think she is insecure, and she should know that.
I hope this helped.

Because people do not know who they are and think that their materials or their money is a way of defining who they are. I never brag about money or things, nor do I care if others have money or not, I always look at the person and their attitude or soul rather than what they have.

shes not rich but she wants to pretend she is maybe because shes worried if she doesnt have money, you wont like her.

because they are usually ignored by their parents and left alone. These ipods are pacifiers to shut them the heck up.
