I'm embarrassed by my family. We don't have money like my friends, what should I do?

I can understand that can be challenging. I would focus on the other blessings you have in life and family like health and love .

I understand that may make you feel embarrassed, I can relate as I used to feel the same thing when I was young- but I began to realise that having money isn't the be-all and end-all of life, and if they was my real friends they wouldn't look down on me for not having as much money as they do. im sorry you feel embarrassed but it's not your fault and money doesn't determine how amazing you are inside and I'm sure your friends are aware of that, otherwise they wouldn't be your friends! After all money can't buy happiness and therefore the fact they're still your friends despite the fact you have less than them shows they aren't bothered about range money situation and like you for who you are and not what you may or may not have. Try not to focus on money and suggest doing things such as going to free places (ie the park, dog walking etc) rather than expensive activities and I'm sure they will understand. Chin up :-), don't be embarrassed of yourself of your family- money is just superficial and you don't deserve to feel less worthy or embarrassed of somebody due to lack of finances. I hope you're okay. Be strong :-)

Honestly i come from the same situation so i just work as hard as i can for what i want in school , etc so whenim older i can have a better life with more money bc i know my parents try their best

If you're very embarrassed that your family doesn't have money like your friends, tell your friends how you feel. They will understand.

It is difficult to have friends of a higher economic status because they will never understand your lifestyle. You will tire of declining things like joining them for pizza after the game because you can't afford it, like them. Or, you might feel envious or resentful after while. I'm not saying you should completely jettison them, but try to connect with others who are in the same shoes.

Don't look at your friends who are richer than you, rather look at those who have less than you and be grateful and proud of what you have ;)

Don't feel bad about it. Money come and go, it's not forever and it's just a piece of paper. Money doesn't make you more, or less. Money is just money, to pay food and things. Money can't buy happiness or love! Love yourself and love your family!

Hye there it is nothing to be embarrassed about okay??? Your folks try and work really hard to keep roof over your head and food in your belly. Never take them for granted and never let them know you feel embarrassed because of them. They love you that would crush them seriously. Try to work yourself for affording things that you want. Lover your family. It is yours okay :)

Money is not everything. In fact, it counts for very little, unless there is not enough to meet basic life needs. Food, clothing, shelter, medical care. What is far more important is how your family interacts with each other and the love that exists. A loving and supportive family ... I would take that any day over money.

I grew up with very little money but our home was happy. Despite not going on vacations and having nice cars, I realized that money wasn't everything. Having money does not mean you are better than someone. Just be the best you.
