SpoiledSweet
#118495
Since kindergarden, this troper has been close friends with a girl who's possibly richer than everyone in their home town, is VERY beautiful, is in Los Angeles for college, and is just about the absolute most loving, selfless and amazingly devoted friend she's ever had. Think of her as a human version of
Rarity. Her mother also counts as an older version of this trope.

This troper has a really sweet classmate. She is smart - able to do the highest grade of Dutch education up untill now, and very beautiful; she has walked catwalks in Madrid, Paris and on the Dutch fashion week. Being pretty has not helped her, however, seeing as most people think she is uptight and plain mean. Hell, even I did, before I got to know her... Which is a real shame, as she is really nice.

When this troper went to high school, one of the girls he thought would be pretty much TheLibby or a RichBitch considering her family was loaded and she was on the Dance Squad (The Dance Squad was the top of the social ladder and pretty much all the preppies where I went to High school), but she turned out to be a SpoiledSweet. The girl would often come in with an armful of clothes or canned food to donate during the respective drives. And despite being able to have any jock she wanted, she dated her boyfriend from I think grade 7 or 8 and he was ''obviously'' a nerd.

My school had at least 3 of these, one who said hello to everyone she could every day, one who was the nicest cheerleader on Earth, and another who ''seemed'' bitchy but at least tried to be nice. All the other girls who seemed like a RichBitch were.

My High School had a beautifulm very rich and straight A student girl. She was sweetness incarnate and even if she hang out with a RichBitch and dated a jock she was friend she was always eager to help. Sometimes she failed to understand just how poor our Third Word country was and why some people in students would prefer to work to make money instead of spending their holidays working for a charity (we weren't the poorest but we sure needed money).

This Troper's best friend is a male example. His family's loaded, his house is huge, and he's a genius with a promising career on science AND martial arts.But,in his bunch of friends, he's the very first to notice something's wrong with you and tries his best to make everyone there happy.He DOES try to pull off a JerkassFacade, but it doesn't work most of the time.

This troper and her twin sister might count. Their dad spoiled them rotten, but their mom, who was stuck with the "disciplinarian" role, made sure that they behaved and did some of the chores (a work in progress) and didn't act like spoiled rotten brats. In fact, they thought they were exceedingly spoiled until they stayed for a month with their father's friend, who happened to have three daughters and lived in one of the better parts of Guayaquil. After one day of watching their new "little sisters" beat up the maids and have to be forced to eat--she's not kidding, they had to hold down the eldest daughter, who was about 13, and shovel food into their mouths, and this troper got a punch to the boobs for her efforts!--they called their parents and said, "You always said we were spoiled, we always thought we were spoiled, but..."

This troper's entire ''school'' counts--it's a very expensive private school, and almost every kid's family is rolling in money (this troper included, although we don't really flash our money around). Most kids are the sons and daughters of famous actors/directors, jewelery company CEOs, billionaires, financial wizards, and beyond. And yet...this troper only remembers a single instance of bullying in her grade in the five years she's been there. Everyone is kind to each other, and there is an extreme emphasis on charity and fundraising in the school.

I'm skeptical of this one. I think something else is at play here -- either this school's discipline level is far harsher, or mean things happen all the time and you just aren't around to see them. Even if everything you've said is true, I bet if you added ONE poor kid to that school, the bullying would start immediately.

This Troper is Spoiled Sweet. She comes from a well-off household and lives in a nice house in where her parents own two luxury cars, desinger clothes, a flat-screen T.V. in every bedroom (inlcluding my bedroom), and a pool. But, am I a spoiled brat? Nope. I served on the student council from fourth to eighth grade, so I know that people are less fortunate than me, I get my clothes from Kohl's and Hot Topic, i'm very kind, I do chores, I take good care of my money, and I work hard.

This troper is one of these as well. Grew up in upper-class suburbia being given nearly everything I wanted. However, I don't feel that I am above anyone else (and in fact, resent the notion from others that I am, based on who my parents are); instead, I feel as though my privileged upbringing is just something that makes me merely luckier than others, not better. I work in community centres, I donate when I have the ability, and I almost always offer to help people whenever I can, however I can. Very rarely am I angered when things don't play out the way I'd like. What does royally
piss me off? When people who were born into the same situation are spoiled, whiny assholes, or, even worse, act like their lives are the
most difficult things ever. Being that I spend a large amount of time in
Long Island... The BerserkButton is pressed a ''lot''.

A girl This Tropette knows. Her parents are well-off, she's an amazing actress, adored by everyone, and easily gets the best grades of anyone. She has every reason to be full of herself... but she's ''totally nice''. For example, when she saw that I (an unpopular nerd) was EatingLunchAlone, she walked right up to my table and asked me to join hers.

That's crossing into CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming territories. :-)

My friends often describe me this way. My parents have very well-paying jobs, I've lived in suburban upper-middle-class my whole life, and my siblings and I have pretty much gotten what we wanted our entire lives. However, it really depresses me when people assume that, because I'm well-off, I'm a rotten brat, so for the most part, I try to be nice, helpful, and friendly. I try not to get too big a head, though there are times when I can be self-centered and
overly snarky.

This troper's best friend, who currently studies at a different school, is probably one of the biggest
Daddy's Girl she's ever known; she gets almost anything she wanted and regular high pocket money. On top of it, she's pretty, scores high in her class, an excellent artist and friendly to pretty much anyone, nerds or not. My classmates even admitted she's very spoiled but memorably nice. Actually, some of this troper's closest friends are {{Spoiled Sweet}}...
