I am very sorry to lear n that you are unhappy now, But I don’t think you should be unhappy.

I know that your family is not rich, so your parents cant afford to buy you clothes of famous brands（名牌）,which makes you unhappy. But have sent you to school so that you can receive good education and have a bright future. This is not easy for your parents. So you should thank them. Don’t ask for something that is out of your parents’ reach. Don’t be so vain-glorious(虚荣的）.

I also think you should put your heart into study. Read more books and you can get a lot from reading. Without the famous brand competition, you will become happy.

I hope my advice will be helpful to you. Wish you happiness!
