He lives a very lucky life. His family are very rich. My family aren't poor but no where as wealthy as his family. The thing is, he is kind of ungrateful. His parents are still together, he goes on heaps of hoildays (to Brazil, Rarotonga, Australia etc), he gets his own laptop PSP etc etc. I wouldn't say i'm jealous because I have many material items aswell. The thing is that I am really grateful for what I have. He complains about things he has a lot. Also he makes fun of people lower class than him (which sometimes includes me) I'm 17 1/2 and he's 18 1/2. We live a 2hour plane trip from each other. How can I show him that we are both very lucky? I love him. He's my best friend. I don't have to explain to you or anyone else. I don't always complain about him. I don't want people to see him as spoiled or selfish

Answer 1 :
Next time he's making comments, tell him he's lucky to have a friend as good as you. Because you put up with a spoilt brat. And not many people would.
Answer 2 :
What makes him your best friend? Sounds like you just complain about him.
Answer 3 :
I doubt you can show him, he will have to figure it out for himself. But then again maybe he isn't as lucky as you, because you know what you have and he doesn't. I like to say that I see a lot of parents have worked so hard to give their kids everything they didn't have, and in doing so take away some of the things they prize so much. Like the value of knowing you did a good job. Knowing the value of good friends that are with you because they like you not the toys you have. My sister got spoiled rotten, and to this day because her having the only kid my parents still spoil her, but I wouldn't want to be in her shoes for anything. She works at dead end jobs because she has never applied herself to learn anything. She lives in my parent's second house on almost no rent, and she wanted them to babysit her kid, and then she complains "they are always here", when they are there to baby sit or fix up the house. Sometimes we pay for our "free" gifts in different ways
