Ok so in Janurary my cousin is playing in a soccer tournament in Orlando. My mom says we are going for four days. Now a lot of my friends are mad because this is like almost the third time I have been to Disney within a twelve month period even though tecnically it has been over a span of three years. The first time in this so called 'three times within a year' situation was December 24-Jan 12006/2007. The second time was June 28-July 6 2007. The will be third time is some time in Mid-January 2008. Also in November we are planning to go on a Disney cruise then stay at the resorts for a week. Then people will be saying 'four times in a year'. The real question is how do I deal with the jealousy and mutiny of others? And them saying that I'm spoiled and stuff like that?Also I forgot to put in that I really really am greatfull that I can go on vacations like this, and everything else that I have/get.Thank you. Most of these are pretty helpfull. Although I did not even tell anyone. I got asked to go to a party, and I told them I could not go because I was going away.

Wait, what's the problem here? Must be nice to be 13...Maybe instead of being upset people are jealous you should be happy your parents are able to afford so many vacations. I have never been to Disney...

all you have to do is say, " i can't control what my parents make me do" and end it with that...

theres 365 days in a year, its the space of 1 year, not 3, it just so happens it was the end and start of years..

You say, yes I am lucky and I thank my parents on a regular basis for all the nice things they do for me and with me.

who cares what they think. just laugh and say whats your point. and if it bothers you that much why are you telling them where your going?

Perhaps if you play down mentioning the vacations when you are with your friends - don't draw their attention to it or boast about it at all. If they are the ones who bring it up, then just do what others here have suggested, say yes, you are fortunate. If they say you are spoiled just laugh. If you can think of something they do or have - that you don't have, you could perhaps draw their attention to what is fortunate in their lives. Otherwise just try and be humble about how lucky you are. It is only natural for peers to express their jealousy. When you are older, true friends will be happy for you in your good fortunate - but that's a bit much to expect from your average peer in your early teens
