Am I spoiled?

Basically all of my friends call me a spoiled brat behind my back and its starting to piss me off. i need to know if what they say is true because i dont want everyone to think im a selfish snob. I dont know our exact income but i know its over 250,000 a year. i live in a nice city. my dad owns a plastics business and he is opening up a garden center kind of like altumns. i have 3 dogs, a horse, 3 sheep, 2 goats, a pig, a wallaby "miniature kangaroo", a ferret, a cat, 2 lizards, 2 rabbits, and a bird. i have a wii, playstation 3, gamecube, and playstation 2. a regular ipod, i flushed my phone down the toilet. after begging my dad said he would pay for half of one. an average christmas for me is a computer, tv, snake, clothes, and jewlery. i have about 5 acres at my house and 16 at my barn. the only thing i ever rly do is clean my room. i have 2 brothers and 1 sister. my bat mitzvah is going to cost about 20, 000. i get usually 2 cs on my report card and the rest b+s or bs.

I also have a black flatscreen gateway computer in my room and a flatscreen tv in my room "about 16 inches" i play tennis and i do tae kwon do. i have one semi private tennis lesson, and two clinics a week.

Well it looks like you just posted to show off. Yes, you are spoiled so if I were you I would do something good with this. If your friends are talking behind you back maybe share more with them. Let them use your cool things. For your bat mitzvah think about what they would enjoy rather than you. If you are selfish is it worse than being spoiled. It's not your issue that your parents are rich. It is your problem if you don't do good things with what you have and think about people who aren't as fortunate. Help take care of your pets and if some pets aren't getting attention they would be happier at another home. For xmas/hannukah have you parents give to a charity rather than one of your gifts. There are things you can do to feel better about yourself that your friends will admire. You can also donate clothes, toys you don't use etc.

honey, i must tell you that spoiled with items isn't always spoiled. its ruining you as a person. your parents are buying your love. get some help my friend.

spoiled with love would be a hell of a lot different.
if your parents make you work for your things? then you aren't spoiled. you may be spoiled with items so you are out of their hair!!!!

if your family is fortunate and has money! wonderful! but buying your children is wrong.

my husband is going through that same thing right now. as an adult realizing his mom and dad just bought him things to shut him the f@#$ up!
sorry but true.

Yeah you are.

Are u kidden'??
If u were as u say,sure u r a damn spoiled

You have a black flat screen in your room?

Here's the problem, you can't realize you're spoiled. You'll end up being one of those people who are like "Why don't those homeless people just borrow money from their parents?"

Hey, have you ever seen a homeless person?


edit: are you single?

being spoiled doesn't really have much to do with what you own but how you act, your attitude what you say how you say it, etc... sounds to me like you are spoiled if you were'nt no one would say things like that you should be more grateful and thankful for what you have

Yes, you are. If you want to feel better about it, get a job and buy your own things.

I wish my snake was still alive... you see i gots lots of these things but if you are so used to this you excpect what you want then yes you are a brat. but whens you get these things because your father just buys them for you thats fine it shows that he loves you =)

Well..the question is do you appreciate all of it? Do you understand that your parents work hard to give you the things you want because it makes them happy to see you happy? I think as long as you're a good kid..respectful and all then no you're not spoiled. Just lucky that you're parents are able to do what all parents want to. It may be jealousy but if its your friends then perhaps you need to analyze your behavior to make sure your not portraying that image.

you are spoiled you spoiled brat

yes your spoiled only because you brag about what you have.
so really what is your question here or are you again just braging at what you have.
all i can say is if your happy bragging about all your things you have there will never be one thing you will have and thats someone who will love you.
unless you buy him.

You are pathetic!

well this is a touchy subject to say the least. Being a spoiled brat would mean that you have to have what you want when you want it and mom and/or dad pay for it. If your a snob about it that would mean that not only are you a spoiled brad but you also brag to everyone else about what you have and how it's better.

If you do not take part in neither of those types of acts and appreciate everything that has been given to you the only thing I would say is that you are privledged. You have a lot more than alot of other people but you don't brag about it and your friends need to get their facts straight before they start using terms in which they do not fully know the definitions of.

Do your parents ever say no? Do you ever not get something you want? If they say no do you accept it? Do you appreciate what you have? Do you not brag to your friends?

If the answer to those questions is yes, then you are not spoiled just well off. If any of those answers is no, then you might just be spoiled.

And being spoiled has nothing to do with wanting to help the homeless. You can be spoiled and still want to help.

spoiled refers to you just getting whatever you want...if you''re a selfish person and your parents get you all of these things then yes you are...if not then its whatever your parents like to treat you with a lot of nice things...so whatever...you well off and yeah...as long as you dont rub that in ppl's faces then yeah its all good. mazel tov on your bat mitzvah....i had mine like four years ago...woah does time fly....=)

Considering your family sounds wealthy I don't think it's unusual you get/expect so much. Your friends may be jealous - heck, I'm jealous just reading that! Some people are just born into wealth, and you sound like one of these people. You can't change your family's status, but you sound a bit guilty about it all. I think you're just so used to such things you don't really understand why people are annoyed because for you it's just ordinary life?

Please correct me if I'm wrong, I probably sound very ignorant here, but aren't bat mitzvahs for when you turn 13? So if you're 13 soon, maybe you can get a paper round, some job that will ease the guilt and give you that extra responsibility you need.

Spoiled has nothing to do with what you have, it's how you act and how you think. Having the means to have all kinds of nice stuff and getting nice stuff all the time makes it easier to get spoiled, but it's all about your attitude, the way you handle situations, and your parents upbringing.

You told us a lot about what you have, but you haven't given us any indication on wether or not you're spoiled. The cell phone thing kinda suggests you are spoiled, but at least your dad didn't just run out and buy you a new one. Why you would flush your phone down the toilet is beyond me though.

You aren't spoiled but your friends are right about the brat part! How do you have friends? Are you sure those aren't your imaginary friends?

Kinda, Damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn
