Please do not take offense but you need to be more secure with yourself and your place in life. Look at the big picture, riches are pretty minor when compared to life. I had a similar situation growing up but I came to the realization that material goods are often a poor substitute for something that person is missing in their life. My friends had all the latest games and gadgets but they got old and boring after as while. But I had loving parents that took time for me and that meant much more than any game.

First off, STOP REACTING: if you can get to where you just "shrug" when they start waving stuff in front of you, they'll get bored & stop-
Next, learn some stuff that's fun/interesting that shows off your SKILL at something- learning chess, or hacky sack, or a sport, or a cool magic trick, or a paper airplane, whatever- you can search YouTube or Google for this kind of thing right now-
- You'll be more satisfied than your friends with the electronic junk...

You can't make them change their behavior, you can only control how you respond to it. Remember this-- if you have all the toys in the world, then none of them are special to you. I bet the things that you have mean more to you. But for more practical advice, just smile, even if you'd rather punch them in the nose. If they see that their bragging isn't affecting you, they'll stop.

Learn from Indians. Haves and haves not is global problem. Don't beg but achieve by hard work and sacrifice. A day will be their that they will be at your door's step. Till they concentrate on your studies and job. Ignore them absolutely.

Perhaps they are not showing off, it's just your jealousy is causing you to think they are.

Don't worry about what they have. Just act like you don't care. Say, "Oh, that's nice." and ignore it.
