At my school are way to materialistic

So I'm going to be a sophomore in high school. The thing is most girls at my school are snotty kids who get everything they want. This one girl in my class had an iPhone 3GS and was hardcore complaining to her friend like "UGH I really need an iPhone 4! Mine is So outdated! My mom is crazy for not letting me get one I mean, I NEED an update!" and then the next day she comes in with a freaking iPhone 4s. Wth. They're always complaining about their shoes, phone, and their "boyfriend drama". I can't stand it! Please tell me I'm not the only one!

Girl, you aren;t the only one. Last year there was this girl in my class that said her breast were too small and she was a good DD in breast size (not that I was looking but she was wearing a way too flashy clothing) and she was all like "My breasts are too SMALL. YOu can barely SEE them!" and five weeks later, her breast were BIGGER. I was like Oh my god. What is happening to girls these days! I mean most of the girls are pregnant before their 17! Jeez. Why so early? Anyways, try not to get into THAT crowd or be like those brats. I'm sure that you are happy with what you have. Because, I'm happy with I have. Those little girls probably even don;t know the value of a dollar. I spent 5 months working my *** off to get enough money to buy an Xbox and these BRATS are begging their mommys and daddys for materialistic things that they will never USE.

Girls in EVERY school are two materialistic, I knew someone who got a brand new laptop that hadn't even hit the shops yet for her birthday, it was worth about 2grand, she complained it was black so the got her another pink one

Some people have a very different perspective of life based on their life. They may never have gone without having things so this is normal to them. They may get every material they want but lack the capability of getting real friends, real love from family or boyfriends, and have a very narrow view of the world.

Like a goldfish in a fish bowl with a castle, they never leave the pretty glass.

But you may have gone without, struggled, got denied things or your parents couldn't afford it. It doesn't make you better, never have that mindset, it only makes you more aware that life is not based on material things and more important aspects need to be tended too.
