If their your real friends it shouldn't matter and your friends should understand that you didn't have the same upbringing as them, but that doesn't make you less of a person than them, just be honest

Embrace you're own personality. Money doesn't define who you are or who you can be. So keep your head up and remember its not money that connects you to your friends. its something more beautiful.

Comparing yourself to others can be hard on you. Feeling good about yourself no matter your economic class should be the goal, however, if you don't like how much money your family makes then you should aim high when you are on your own.

Your friends should like you for who you are, not for how much money your family has. Do not worry about it.

Never feel embarrassed because of something that it out of your control. You matter just as much as they do! Some people just have more money than others. It's a fact of life. There are ways to be crafty, yourself. Go to thrift stores. See if a local church has an item exchange program (you give them stuff, you pick out stuff others gave away). Finally, try not to compare yourself to them. I do that all the time, but it just ends up hurting more, in the end. You should not feel ashamed.

Be yourself don't try to be someone that you are not. Be thankful for what you have. One day you are going be thanking all the things you have because money can't buy everything.

Remember, true friends shouldn't care about your money. You don't need bad friends like that! It's your personality that matters. If you are really bothered by your family, maybe take a job so you can earn your own money to buy trendy clothes that your friends have. And, there are THOUSANDS of cool stuff you can get from thrift stores or GoodWill. If you are creative, you can DIY stuff with stuff you have at home to have cute/cool stuff. Trust me, there are so many great stuff out there! Hope this helps! =)

Money isn't the most important thing in the world. The most important things are character and love in the family. You should don't think about that much.
