Ive been doing little jobs and earning a little money since I was like 12 (18 now). I started buying my own clothes really young, and gradually paid for my own shoes, hair, make-up, school bags and a bunch of other stuff. Nowadays I hate asking money from anyone, including my parents, even if I sometimes have to. Im proud that I learned to provide for myself, but one the other hand, I could have spent that money on something else if my parents would have bought me the basic stuff (were not poor).

Dont regret about it, you and your parents did it right, if everyone in this planet were like you the world would be a different place and not the swamp full of immature and weak creatures who want everything easy and for free.
