My family was quite poor when I was growing up. I never had a new toy or new clothes until I was old enough to get a job and pay for those things myself. Until then, it was second-hand everything. I did feel a little left out of the "good life" that everyone else seemed to be having, but I never let it really get to me or hold me back in any way. No one ever teased me about it either.
Is it normal to hate being the poor kid?
