How do i get my Buddies to cease nicknaming me rich-boy and asking me for cash its getting irritating!!!?
Before it used to be okay whatever when they said it but now its like a common phrase in class. Im 15 by the way its like they come up to me and say “rich boy borrow me some money” and i say nah i don’t have enough and there like “rich boy your so stingy”. They make up dumb jokes like “do you bath in money”. This all started when one of my Friends came to my house i live in a nice luxurious house because my parents are both solicitors and earn alot of money. I have 4 brothers and we each have a PSP theres 2 PS3′s a Wii an Xbox 3 DS’s we all each have our own laptop and a flatscreen in our room. My Friend was amazed when he saw it and started telling everyone about the amount of things i have its getting really annoying now. Its like they say your so spoilt. I say no im not because the stuff i have are not purchased for no reason obviously i do good deeds and get rewarded for it.
So how do i get them to stop calling me richboy and do you think im Spoilt?
Tell them nicely that you don’t mind if they joke around with you but that how they call you now really get annoying now.
try and make new friends ones that dont use you. or just say that the house and nice things belong to your parents as they work hard and lots of hours and they dont dish money out to your like it is going out of fashion. you have to work to get your allowance. they dont sound very nice so just try and steer clear
Are you sure these are your friends? May want to find some new ones to hang out with or just keep ignoring it. I know it’s cliche but sometimes it does actually work. You have to show them that it doesn’t bother you, and when they ask to borrow money let them know that just because your parents have money doesn’t mean you do. I think I would only invite a very small group of friends to your house from now on, make sure they like you for you as a person, not for what you have too. It’s hard to find these days, genuine friendship. Good luck.
