Why am i so spoiled, what should i do?

I know its not my fault, but i really wish i wasn't so spoiled and ungrateful. I got an iphone 4 for christmas last year, and it started having problems. My parents offered to buy me an iphone 5 for this christmas but i refused, because i really don't want any new iphone. So my mom got me another iphone 4, but my dad used it for a couple months, and i just feel like crying because its not brand new. I'm trying to stop but i can't, the feeling won't go away. I hate being this way.

It is good that you are able to reflect on this issue. You probably should speak to your parents about this. Change comes from within, so you are the only person who can affect the change within. Remember that there are others who are worse off then you. Things could be worse. Be grateful for what you have; don't be ungrateful for what you do not have.

Best wishes.

Well you could volunteer at a homeless shelter and see how people who have nothing habe to live especially the ones who have kids and the poor kids have to live in a shelter because their parents can't find work then think about how you can't stop crying over a perfectly fine iphone because it didn't come out of a plastic package… Or at a soup kitchen that parents and their children have to go to because they can't afford food… Seriously tho… Just get over it its not like your wearing someone's hand me down shoes…

Growing past our own egocentric materialistic view of the world opens up a whole new way of living.

Hopefully you will be able to look back at this and laugh at your self.

  • Why do people call teenagers with electronics 'spoiled'? For example, there are teenagers out there that has a laptop or ipod/iphone and other teenagers, especially the poor ones, calls them spoiled. In my opinion they are just jealous because their family is too poor to afford any of those technology. But deep inside, i know they want it.
  • Why did she call me a spoiled brat? So today me and my friend were at mine getting ready for a party and she saw that I have a new camera and iPhone 4S as well as new art supplies and se pointed out then rolled her eyes and told me I don't all this stuff (I'm going to study art and photography at college and she knows this) I just sort of brushed it off then she couldn't find anything to wear in y first wardrobe so I told her to look in my other one then she called me a spoiled brat and stormed out.
  • Why are people calling me a spoiled brat? So last Christmas here was my Christmas list: A MacBook pro computer New clothes Ugh boots An iPhone 5 A Samsung galaxy note tablet a $200 gift card A Xbox This is what I got instead: A new pair of socks Two candy canes A proscan tablet A $50 gift card Converse shoes A sweater And a braclet They always get the opposite of what I want!
