My family less fortunate, what can I do?

My family has pretty much been less fortunate for awhile. I say less fortunate because we have some nice things but not all nice things. I'm not the ungrateful type but I'm tired of living like this. Not being able to have a cell phone, Not being able to have a birthday party (mind you I've never had a birthday party), Not being able to afford name brand clothes (LV, Coach, Ralph Lauren, Nike, Air Jordan's, etc.). Where I'm from you get talked about, bullied and harassed if you don't wear name brand clothes. People around here all brag about the iPhone the have, the new Jordan's they got, the True Religion brand jeans they have on, and so on. My mom is jobless (she had one but she just quitted it earlier in the week) and so is my step dad. We can never go out to eat, to the mall, or anything because we never have any money. I mean we do have money but that goes towards the bills. I'm only 13. I'm tired of being less fortunate. I've even considered on doing being a street pharmacist (if you know what I mean). We live in a family flat. 2 bedrooms upstairs, 2 bedrooms down stairs. We have the upstairs. It's 5 people living in a two bedroom apartment._. I can never invite my friends over. Plus, we do online school. My mom says we do it because the education is better then regular public school (in the city we live in). I think she's lying. I think the real reason why do it is because it's free and she doesn't have to pay for gas to drive us to and from school. We have computers, work books, and all our other school supplies all in the dining room.

Help? Is there anything I can do?-.
Get a job?
Start a business?

Ok honey boo boo. You are poor. Seek public assistance. Why does your family insist on living this way?

You don't need a cell phone. You don't need brand name clothes. You do need some social interaction. If you want a job, then fine, go get a job. You are 13, good luck with that one. The internet has basically destroyed the paper boy delivery services.

Do not deal drugs. That will get your throw in jail. Just what your family needs. You in jail.

It's not what you have or what you wear, or if you have the finer things in life. It's what you are on the inside that really matters. I was very very poor growing up, but pulled myself out of poverty by working hard. Going to drugs is NEVER the answer. You will be arrested, and put in jail, and have a permanent record. Then if you ever want to get a good paying job, it's there for your employers to see. Not a route you want to take. A 13 year old is not smart enough to deal drugs. Your Mom and Dad can get public assistance, while you may not have the things you want you can at least have the necessities. You are among most of the population and you are not alone. Some kids don't even have clothes or shoes, or enough to eat. Suck it up, and when you get a little older then go out and find a job where you can buy the things you want. I was working when I was 14, so it can be done.

I'm sorry you're in the position you are in. I'm happy so see that you're not ungreatful.being 13 there might not be many jobs for you to get when it comes to business's. But you could ask around, and talk to adults that you know, to see if you could help them around the house or do chores for a few bucks here and there. Maybe go around and see if you could pull weeds for people, i think you'll find that they would love it, and like seeing a hard working kid. Just have them show you what they want pulled, and when they ask what to pay you, I've found the best thing to say is, "whatever you think i deserve when its done" they usually give you more than you expect. Also if you get to know these people they might help you get an actual job when you turn 14. Thats the minimum working age in my state.

Omg. I feel sorry you feel that way. Why do you need those things? Have you heard of people die in hunger? No homes, no clothes to wear, no parents to take care of them, they have no one to depend on but themselves. People younger than you who have younger siblings that he/she have to raise, but still put a smile on their faces. You're still fortunate… Very. When you grow up sweetheart, all the things you want won't matter. Money can't buy true happiness.
