I feel bad for getting an iPhone.is this normal?

I have been asking for an iphone for a few years now because i have always had a basic phone and they accepted to buy me one today. I got the iphone 5 c and now that i think about it, i feel really weird and bad for some reason. It cost 100 dollars and now my parents pay 30 dollars a month instead of 10 for my new phone. I feel really bad for some reason and kinda like a spoiled child. It also feels kinda awkward for me to have an iphone because I have never been that kid with the latest technology. To be honest, i didn't really NEED it either. Is this normal that i feel guilty? What can i do to make this feeling go away?

Well, most teenagers act like spoiled brats and don't realize that that's how they're acting so they don't feel bad for it. You do realize it. There's nothing weird about that, it just means that you're more mature than most of the other kids your age and don't take your parents or there money for granted. To show your parents that you really appreciate them and don't take for granted all of the things that they've given you, help around the house. Take the trash out on your way to the bus. Help out with dinner, and be nice to your parents. That's the best way to show them you appreciate them.

  • Is it normal to feel this guilty? I come from a rich family and I'm always guilty! I hate when I have something that others don't have it makes me feel guilty and depressed. Like if I have my nails polished and someone else doesn't I feel very bad i don't know why but I hate this… I have an iPhone but if I go to a sleepover and my friend doesn't have one I get very sad! Am I spoiled? Why do I feel this way?
  • Is it normal to feel like this? So I'm going to a sleepover and I have to bring my iphone but I'm worried invade it goes missing at night. I know it sounds crazy but my phone means the world to me. How can I stop worrying about it? And is it normal to feel this way?
  • Is it normal to feel guilty after buying something expensive for yourself? My dad bought me a iPhone 4S because i really wanted one and because he said i deserved it and i needed a phone. I previously had a cheap android phone that i rarely used. I feel guilty for wasting my dads hard earned money and i feel like i'm spoiled and i don't deserve it. I do get good grades though. Any ideas to help me stop feeling guilty please? Its eating me up. My dad said that its okay and we still has a lot of money. But i still feel guilty.
  • I feel so bad for the people from the old days? Like seriously how the heck did they survive? They didn't have iPhones(can't go anywhere without mine), computers(grew up with them), and especially INTERNET. LIKE OMFG IF I WERE THEM I WOULD'VE KILLED MYSELF.
