maybe it's because they're jealous?

Maybe its you they don't like? Not your family's money.

LOL Just because you wear armani, BIG deal... The kids in the neighborhood I am in drive Lexuses in high school and have their own condos costing half a million by the time they go to college. I am not rich. I don't care for children of yuppies.
4 :
They're making fun of you because you dress like a poof. And because rich people tend to be mean bitchy A-holes.
5 :
Probably out of jealousy. How well do you wear your richness? You obviously are not humble about it. If you were they would not know. The Fox and the Grapes from Aesop http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Fox_and_the_Grapes

Most people who think others hate them for a reason they can't control are usually wrong. Chances are, the people don't like you because of your personality. No one is really going to hate you so bad that they'd damage your property just because you're rich. Obviously they don't like you. Maybe it's the fact that you show off how rich you are. Why are you wearing $200 Ray-Bans to school/practice anyway? I know I hate a show off. Sounds like you kinda are one.

I love Free Stuff in 2012 's answer! Couldn't have put it better good going!! You can't even stop from bragging on here. Don't come here looking for your Ego boost an a chance to brag!! it is True you can't help how much money you have but you don't have to brag. AND FROM WHAT I HAVE LEARNED PEOPLE WHO BRAG NORMALLY HAVE NOTHING LITTLE LADY!
8 :
The short answer is because of judgment and comparison. If you take this ability out of people then how could they judge what's good or bad for them. If you have something other people want, then this ability to compare causes them to either want to get it themselves (if they're a go-getter) or be lazy and be envious of what you have. Envy turns to jealousy when an attempt to harm expresses itself. Envy is ok because it lets us know what we want. Jealousy is negative because it's sole purpose is to harm someone, like smashing your Ray-Bans. The short answer is jealousy, and that can only come about because of judgment and comparison.
9 :
Rich people tend to act like snobs. If you are wearing brand name everything, and making your identity all about the brands, and you are swimming and playing soccer amongst a community of people in a lower socio-economic class, it may feel to them as though you are sticking it to them. Perhaps it is not the money that offends them, it is the snobbish behavior. Kids who grow up rich tend to become adults who have never developed a sense of empathy because they are used to having everything handed to them, and never really have to work. They can feel a sense of entitlement, and that Mommy and Daddy can bail them out no matter what they do, or how badly they screw up. Maybe you should take a nice look in the mirror and try to scale the brand-snobbishness down a few notches. See if it is the money who repulses them all, or the person.

Call Obama he will take it away and give it to them. MONEY that is

Dude preps are just annoying, you guys wear the same thing everyday. Either an A&F, A&E, or Hollister cloths. It gets old, wear different styles like hot topic, pac sun, wet seal, buckle, vans, just go for the skater look. Trust me us girls LOVE skater guys. Grow out your hair and wear a cool hat. The prep look is getting old. Peace.

Aerospace Engineering???????????

Aerospace Engineering???????????
Okay I'm in college trying to decide on a major. One thing is for sure I love aviation and space. Im taking flying lessons and one day hope to fly for an airliner. However, I need a backup career and a career that i can make money first year out of school that way i can pay for flight training , apartment, car, etc. I know aerospace engineering is probably the most interesting to me in engineering. Right now im at a community college, and plan on transferring. In AE does it matter what school I go to? What GPA is required? Is the employment outlook positive? no shit!... im doing engineering as a backup.

Aerospace engineering doesn't mean pilot. It means designing the planes and rockets we have today.Sure many go into that field after many years in the engineering field, but if you want to be a pilot take flight classes not engineering classes.
2 :
Why not explore some of the large Aerospace companies? Perhaps apply for summer internships at some of these? You know that you enjoy the direct experience of flying -- you are the kind of person who learns best from direct experience -- so I would suggest getting direct experience at an Aerospace company, to see if you like the work, before investing too much money in years of classroom study. You could also consider a 2-year program that grants a degree that qualifies you for "Aerospace Technician" -- you'd find out quicker this way, if you like the corporate atmosphere of a desk job. Also, may I suggest looking into pilot jobs where pilots work as subcontractors for the military (main installation is in Arizona), flying drone aircraft in the Middle East countries. Require pilot experience PLUS video gaming experience! Good luck. ++++++

i have some designer stuff. but the only reason i have it is from christmas and birthdays and my grade seven grad. (the neckalce i got from tiffany's was $500) so there really is no way you can afford all this stuff (espoically when handbags are about $2000) but what you can do is go to nordstrom rack! they have everything high end at super low prices! i got a pair of rock and republic jeans ($300) for $100! and they have bags and sunglasses and shoes!
2 :
you're 13 and want this stuff now? maybe save up for which ever you want and talk with your parents and say this is what im saving up for you can purchase it with your credit card and i will give you the money i saved up. show them that you're determined to get these things. but you must also do well in school, graduate high school go to college, get a great career...so when you're older you wont be in debt and you can't afford to have NON-designer stuff. lol...trust me...work towards your future, know what you want to do, and shoot for it! and don't get any credit cards until you're at least 25-30. i swere, it's TOUGH! :) anyways, good luck on everything.
3 :
Well that is gonna be hard! So save your money a little longer. Pick a pair of deinger jeans and a purse. 2 sweaters. ands some jewlery to start your desinger wardrobe. Then keep saving money and add more peices!

Ask around your neighborhood and walk dogs or do chores for people. Ask your family if you can do some housework for money. Little things like that will start to add up quickly.
2 :
Liability issues have always been problems for young people like you. if you can not baby-sit, then perhaps you can offer to help clean some elderly lady's house. perhaps someone you know, or if you go to church you could ask there.
3 :
The best thing that I can think of that i've done when I was your age was cut grass and wrake leaves. I was 13 and I was going on a trip to Boston to visit my oldest brother. I had to buy my own plane tickets and have my own spending money. In about 2 months time, I raised about $800 just mowing lawns, wraking leaves, cleaning yards. It was easy and very rewarding. I hope this helps.
4 :
Yes, you are too young to babysit. Hollister and the like are overrated! I see older people, as in 50 year olds, wearing it. Why don't you cut grass? DON'T WASH CARS! It's bad for the environment.
5 :
well u could see if anyone u know is going out of town and see if u can go and feed thier dog everyday or something. or cut grass, baby sit, pet sit, do yard work for ppl, do house work for ppl
6 :
dog walking mowing grass for people doing extra chores seeing if family needs chores done
