Back

Don't ever be ashamed of your background, in denial of your roots. Belonging to a middle class family or a family struggling financially is not a crime. Crime is not having the desire to change your situation, crime is to pressurise your parents, and emotionally manipulating them to extract that extra money out of them to "fit in" with people who would humiliate you for not attending parties son weekend or not being able to afford the expensive liquor, materialistic things which are "in fashion" but not necessary to have for a livelihood. Abandon those friends, abandon the idea of showing off a "rich life". It's ok to travel by public transports, not attending parties, wearing a shirt till it gets worn out, not having the latest, expensive gadgets as long as you have that burning desire inside you to be a self made person instead of milking out your parents and being ashamed of admitting & accepting your financial condition.
