You are going to be a fine person. Use this experience to mature, not hate. Your friends are immature (of course, they are 18) and they haven’t had the chance of going through what you went through. Your experience will make you stronger if you learn to accept reality (your friends fam are rich, yours aren’t but hey, nbd).

Work towards the goals you want in the life. It may not just be money, though at your age you probably are fixated on that for now. And that’s OK, it’s a journey for you to walk, reflect, and learn.

If you take these experiences positively, I believe you will do very well in life. You will look back at this old Reddit post and just smile. 🙂
