I am so disappointed in my classmates.

I am an occupational therapy student (guaranteed a job and a decent wage for life). I go to a school with a very high price tag, but I am paying for it mostly out of pocket. I have begged my parents for any amount of money to help pay for school and I have even gone to great lengths to borrow a lot of money to pay for school. I am in my 4th year of school and I did everything right to ensure that I would graduate as soon as possible. I am $50,000 in debt and am starting to worry about my student loans, and the state of my future and how I will be able to support myself. <br><br>My classmates live at their parents house and have their parents pay for all of their schooling. They raise money on Gofundme and make a post on Facebook asking for their friends to contribute to their schooling. The ones who are in the best financial situations have gotten pregant so that they can have a 5th year "baby year" and they get to stay home with their baby. I have worked so hard to get to where I am, but I am not a part of the "in crowd" so they all hate me. I have been avoiding them for the past 3 years, but I am so heartbroken that I have to put up with these people. I am sure that they will be well to do one day because they have such wealth parents, and they will be so spoiled for life. And who knows, maybe they are content and at peace with their spoiled upbringing, but I never had the option to choose to keep living off of my parents and now I am undercover and beside myself. My parents are great people, but they didn't spoil me growing up, but I had enough and I am very glad I had the upbringing I had. I just wish that I didn't have to put up with people who don't value money and don't appreciate everything that they have, I wish they would get a job and see how hard it is to make a dollar. <br><br>I am talking to myself right now, trying to convince myself that everything is going to be okay and I have to make it through this. But I am just so angry and hurt and disappointed that I have to deal with these people. I grew up in a situation that made me work extra hard for everything I have. I have a disability and I had to grow up too fast and deal with a lot of medical stuff so I don't understand how they don't value their health and education, and they don't see how great they have it. I am sad for them because they won't know struggle and I am sure that they will be very entitled as adults. I feel like I am dealing with highschoolers instead of grown adults, I just don't know. But I know that I am angry and I don't know how to get over it.
