Hello, first please don't be judged, as I know this is often done here. I studied in a public school in a small town. I come from a family with quite good financial opportunities. Because I knew that most of the people in my school had more modest abilities, I tried to adjust to the situation, but people understood who I was a child of. Since then, they have been constantly talking behind my back, discussing everything I do, envying my belongings, I feel discriminated against. However, they also had unrealistically high self-esteem without coverage. I do not want to offend them, but the fact is that they do not have a basic upbringing, as well as any achievements. I moved to a private school with people of my or higher financial level. And no one envies me, does not discuss me in such a funny way. But again, I'm not happy. They are arrogant, the only thing what they do absolutely every day is go to bars to smoke hookahs. When I ask them what they plan to study or work, they answer that they do not want to and their parents will support them. They have no plans for their future, but they are almost 18. I want to be among successful people so that I can also be successful. But I never come across such people. And are they really so deluded as to think that their parents will support them forever? In my opinion, a child is looked after until 18, then he just has to get better. The only thing they think about is the material, they don't care that they don't have real friends, love and other really important things. The important thing is to have money, because they make you happy. But I want to achieve something in life, I have goals and ambitions, I can't soak somewhere all day and smoke a hookah. I must look like a grumbler now, but I really can't find my place. On one side are envious intriguers, on the other - mother's sons who have no goals and thoughts for the future. Is something wrong with me? Share your opinion and if possible without criticism. Please publish my story.

Hello! Your story intrigued me a lot, because I was like you. I come from a small town, but my family has good financial opportunities. I thought that if I didn't show off or pretend, no one would "envy" me, so they would be good to me. I have been to many places in Europe, I have been brought up to be modest and not to claim anything. That's why I hid where I went, for example, so that they wouldn't treat me differently ... childish stupid thoughts. I never befriended these people. Now that I've "grown up" and my friends go abroad ... and they don't stop showing off ... and people don't worry about what they will think of them. They live their lives without unnecessary worries. Unfortunately, I did not leave this environment and I am still with almost the same people. Well, my advice is this ... be confident and don't care so much why other rich people don't want to study or work. It may seem selfish, but think about whether these "rich people" think of you as much as you think of them. Think about your future ... these people will not be there. We have something in common with you and that is that we appreciate what we have and want to develop. Good luck
