You said yourself that you are popular. Is it only because you are rich ? I don’t think so. Since you said yourself that you know your rich friends don’t care if you are rich or not, I think you have other qualities that makes you popular. Try this list : friendly, help-full, good-looking, good-grades / intelligent, great to hang around, ………….(fill it out yourself).

Suggestion : You might not know your own qualities. So I suggest you write them down seriously in a piece of paper about what you think your good qualities are that makes you popular. Stick them where it’s easy for you to see. And remind yourself about these qualities whenever you feel “down-cast” again. Don’t under-estimate this “game”. It can change your way of thinking.

You know what ? Don’t feel sorry about things that already happen. Even if you do, things will not be better but worse. There’s a good prayer I would like to share with you : Lord, help me change the things that can be changed and help me accept things that cannot be changed. And give me wisdom to differentiate these two things.

Be positive thinking about everything that comes to your life. Because whether you are weeping or happy. Life goes on. So it’s your choice whether you want to lead your life in happiness or in sorrows. So, dear, what’s your choice ? You want to live your life happily or sadly ?

Let’s think about it this way. When you are rich, you used to personalize yourself as “rich boy” It means the only thing that makes you valuable as a human being is being rich. If you are not rich anymore, then you are not a valuable human being anymore. Do you see how untrue it is ? Do you still want to depend on this asumption about being rich is that important ?

Now that you are not rich, it is an opportunity to know yourself in a new way. This is a great chance for you to know who you really are. Not just “a rich boy”. So explore yourself. Find your personal qualities that is hidden in you all this time. I’m sure you’ll be surprised to know yourself once again from other perspectives.

Think about this as a second chance for you to define who you are, not from outside qualities (wealth) but from inner qualities (your true wealth).

I want you to think about this :

“YOU” used to be rich ? YOU ?

I think it should be “Your Mom” used to be rich. It’s not you who work and earn a living. It’s your MOM. So, let’s make this point straight. It’s not YOU who became poor. It’s your MOM.

The reason I bring this up is : Have you thought about how hard it must be for your mother accepting the truth about what has happened ? It’s not easy being a single parent you know ? So, please appreciate what she’d already done for you.

The bright thing is, you still have your mom to protect you. Imagine what it would be like if you don’t have your mom in this situation. You can still go to school and have a house to live in.

In all things, give thanks with a gratefull heart. Because things could be worse.

Here are few things to thank for :
Be gratefull that you are still alive, you still have your mom, you are healthy, you can still go to school, you still have a house to live in, thanks to all lessons that life’s teaching you, thanks for your all new friends, for meals that you can still enjoy every day, thanks that you still have clothes to wear, thanks for your future to come-a bright one etc…..

Don’t worry so much. Ok ?

When I see comments like yours it really upsets me on how some of the western people think and there values regarding life in general. I don’t want to come across sounding rude but you are deluded and sadly the ideal sheep for any capitalist country, is that not embarrassing enough !!!

My friend you are rich wether you realize it or not, you have everything but you are not looking hard enough. You don’t need to prove anything to anybody but yourself and those who judge are only judging themselves.

All the best

I know the adjustment will be hard to make but you have to make it - start focusing more on developing your spiritual and emotional self rather than perpetrating a lie (that everything is OK and you still got it). Talk to your friends one by one, starting with the more influential ones (who will stand by you and support you when the others learn about it).

be thankful for two things - your mum and your health. There are many kids out there without mothers (and love) and some dying of cancer. Don’t sweat the small things thinking they are big things.

Why don’t you just be thankful you still have a roof over your head, and your not having to live in your car or in back alleys.
