Why are my friends jealous that I live in a gated community?

I live in a private gated Jewish community. Some people have said bad things behind my back about me being spolied. It's not my fault that my Dad's a bank manager or drives a nice Mercedes. My parents just didn't want to live among working people. It's much safer there too and there are no poor people who steal. Should I lie and tell people I meet that i live in a poor neighborhood?Why are my friends jealous that I live in a gated community?
ya know, rich people steal too! J/K but really just accept who you are - don't lie - it will come back to bite ya
If there are certain traditional beliefs that require separation, that's understandable, but gated communities that aren't of this type are seen as an expression of classism. It's definitely not your fault, but your parents have lumped all working people into one group. If anything, they're the ones who may need to get out a bit more. That has NOTHING to do with you, however, and it's good you see there's something that isn't quite right.



And not for nothing, but look at Waterbury, CT's Yeshiva Gedolah community. They come from backgrounds just like yours, and yet they choose to live in an area that's not well off--and they work their derrieres off to actually help other people. From what I remember, isn't that a mitzvah, to help others who need it the most?Why are my friends jealous that I live in a gated community?
I say you don't need friends that are jealous of your gated community. You need more friends like you that understand life in a gated community. Since it's not your fault that your parents are the way they are and you can't grasp what life is like outside the gates - It's probably best to continue to live your life in your conceited bubble where everyone envies you. BTW - Some rich people steal by fleecing poor people - they may not break into their homes but they rip them off in other ways.
No you dont have tobe a shamed of living in a gated communtiy.But you dpnt have to ne a snob also,you think only poor people steal.How do you think the rich got there money

off the sweat of the poor people back.Who do you think pays for your daddy job.Why are my friends jealous that I live in a gated community?
No, You should not lie. There always people who are jealous of things other people have and you are not a flower to be adored by everybody. You are what you are. Just remember that things you have belong to your parents and they(things) don't make you better ot worse then anybody else.
I have friends who have been racially attacked and I think a gated community is good protection for you. I think you need to change your friends, - you will meet more understanding and intelligent people.
