I'm A Big Fan Of High Fashion. I Like Names Like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Versace etc. My Entire Family (Immediate, Aunts, Cousins, Grandparents) Are Under The Impression That I'm Trying To Be Someone I'm Not By Buying These Goods And I Do It For Myself Not To Impress Anybody Fashion Is One Of My Interests I Don't Buy It To Be A Status Symbol. They Think I'm Spending My Money Irresponsibly For A 15 Year Old And I'm Frankly Tired Of It And I've Told Them, I Don't Do It For Anybody But Myself But They Just Can't Seem To Understand It And I Feel Bullied By Everyone Constantly. My Aunt Picks On Me For Having Louis Vuitton Sunglasses Saying That I Look Like Trash And I Don't Know How To React Other Than Defensively And Then When I Do Defend Myself They Tell My Mom That I Need To Stop Wanting All This Stuff Because I'm Going To Go Down The Wrong Path. I Don't Know What To Do So What Should I Do?

dear friend, it's no problem if your a big fan of anyone...i too am a big fan of gadgets...i own the latest in cellphones...but that was before...i now use a low brand which produces same results...you see, it's not important if you have those stuff which make you "feel good" or "in", just to hide something...or be accepted by friends...or wowed upon...what is important is to be plain simple...i first think of it as good stuff but in reality, it wasn't me...i just think of the money wasted on those stuffs...i could have saved it for some serious needs or emergency...after all, who knows when accidents strike..? and who knows up to when our parents can keep on holding our "desires"..? what if they go broke all of a sudden..? are we prepared for that scenario..? read these verse in the Bible, 1Timothy 2:9 "I would like for women to wear modest and sensible clothes. They should not have fancy hairdos, or wear expensive clothes, or put on jewelry made of gold or pearls"

Hello,
I don't buy luxury goods to feel in, or hide something or to be excepted or wowed upon. I don't rely on my parents to buy my stuff, I work very hard at my career and I support my lifestyle all by myself. My family feels that I spend my money foolishly so I can be a wowed upon when clearly they are not my intentions. I feel that I'm entitled to the best and nothing but because I work so hard. I only buy what I can afford and I never ask my parents to buy me expensive goods because I feel thats rude. The simple lifestyle isn't for me though because in order to be successful I have to be presentable. I know as a 14 year being successful and presentable is sort of unrealistic but I like being respected by clients and getting respect.
