Hi, let me explain the situation.
My family has a fair ammount of money, but my parents to not believe in buying things for me which I want, they believe that if I want some thing, I need to earn money for it myself. This was fine, and it taught me great values until I started at a private high school this year. It costs a lot of money each year, which mean that everybody who goes there has a lot of money. Ever since I started going there I realized that I dont have much stuff, and I have been 'desiring' a whole heap of things lately, you know, like laptops, play stations, agmes, cellphones, cameras, televisions, etc, etc. Basically I have been wanting all of this stuff so much it hurts and I have been asking my parents to buy it for me. Of course, they are sticking to their beliefs and refusing.
So I am not asking for ways to persuade my parents to buy me these things, I just need some advice on how to stop wanting so much. I Have tried, but it is hard when I go to school and everyone is talking about how they got a new phone last weekend, and they bought a new ps3 game, etc, etc, and I just dont have any of those things.
So help. Please?
