Don't lose the confidence you have by lowering your standards, it is good to have high standards because it makes you a harder worker and a better person. But just don't be an a-hole by flaunting your superiority over everyone else.
I think I know exactly what you mean bro, thanks for the reply. Helpful!
I can feel your pain I too am struggling with some of teh same problems. I dont want to work for anyone...I want people to work for me haha. I also love nice things and hate to settle for anything but designer brands. I have tried to change but it is very hard and I feel for you. As you get older though I think you will start to realize and give up this type of attitude.

A harder worker? He's not working at all...
Have standards but don't forget that you are 16 and no one really gives a crap. It's good to think highly of yourself but there is a point where you begin to think so highly of yourself that your opinion of yourself and who you are don't match and start to make people sick...and laugh. Earn respect, don't assume you have it because your parents earned it and you think you should automatically inherit it from them.

That's a good point. Now that I think about it I kinda have been living off my parents good name and fortune. I wouldn't say I particularly think highly of myself though cause I am a real nice guy and I do treat other people with respect regardless of their looks or background. But yeah I guess at 16 there is plenty of time to change and try to make my own name. I think once I get my first job and start Uni I will start to see the bigger picture. Thanks for the replies everyone, helped allot
