You are not spoiled, you seem to have a balanced life and if you are content with your life… You are good.
Not as spoiled as me!
You sound like a really lucky kid to have all that stuff, but your parents probably want you to have it because of that. Reading about all the stuff you do, you sound like the perfect kid to be honest- your parents probably just want you to feel good. If your parents see your happy and doing that much good stuff, getting good grades- they can't ask for much more from their child. They're rewarding you for how good you are. Have a chat with your parents if you feel bad about the amount of expensive things you own, but I think you deserve that stuff with the amount of good things you do.
Truly "spoiled" people don't feel bad but feel entitled to getting more and more without giving anything to others. Shallow people think that owning things, like the ones on your list from 1 to 7, are more important than their own character, morals or relationships. Narcissistic people are selfish camelions that can change their personalities, without most people knowing, to satisfy their self interest and take advantage of anyone.
Are you any of those things? Should you feel guilty for being given things? Do you use having those things to make others feel bad? From your age, I'm guessing that you're not paying your own way yet. If so everything you have is a gift.
Spend some time thinking about who you would be without the stuff. Start defining your core beliefs, character and morals so you don't confuse who you are with what you own.
Asking these kind of questions shows that you are beginning to think about who you are and your place in the world. The hard part is to keep examining your motives and to never stop asking these questions.

- ICloud problems. Won't stop connecting iPhone and iPod. Need steps to stop it? I have an iPhone and my little sister has a iPod that are both set up under my name. Ever since I updated her iPod everything I download starts downloading on her iPod. I even deleted my iCloud account on my phone and her iPod (ended up losing all my contacts over this).It's starting to get really annoying. Can someone please give me steps I can follow to end this connection. Don't tell me to call apple or whatever because I don't have 2 hours to sit on the phone.
