Jealousy is everywhere and in everyone in someway or another. My brother is 4 years older than me, and he gets jealous that i got things he didnt. For example, i got a horse. Not that my brother wanted one, but i get a lot more money spent on me then my brother ever did. But then again, he goes to a very expensive college that my parents pay for. He complains that i get more than he does, but in the end, my parents said they will make it fair in the end. They said they will do this by paying for part of his house, or anything else he says he wants. Or small things like cell phones. I got a phone when i was in 7th grade and he got his when he was in 10th. My parents said they would buy him one when he started driving, but i got mine earlier. Everyone has a cell phone today. I think jealousy is a problem today because everyone has things others dont. Therefore, you might want something that your friend has, but you cant have it.

A time when jealousy has affected my life would be with my sisters. Im the youngest in my family so my mom always keeps an eye on me. So she would always let my sisters do whatever they wanted, and was stricter on me. Howevernow that i am in highschool my mom is more loose with the rules. So the problem seemed to work it's self out on it's own. Jealousy is a problem in our society because people tend to want everything that other people have. An example of this could people being jealous of material objects. This causes problems becauses peoples life should not be consumed around this.
I remember when i was little, the big thing to do was hang out in the Risi's treefort. One day me and a couple friends were up there and alex sokoll came over. He asked if he could come up and we all said no. With this said Alex got very jelous and ran home crying. I somewhat felt bad but at the same time knew that he had made me very jeleous sometimes. So after running home, he came back with a big box of gushers. He said, "anyone who comes down here and hangs out with me can have some", this made all the kids come down but he didnt give one to me. This caused the problem of my jeleousy to arise. After resolving the problem with allowing alex into the tree fort, and him giving me gushers solved everything. I find jelousy to be a great problem in our society these days. The big problem being lost friendships. Things such as a certain guy likes a girl and the girl likes that boy back. But his best friend also likes that same girl. The boy gets jelous and acts in an irresponsible way.

Everyone has jealousy at some point in their lives. LIke when me and my older brother gaet to do things that my little brother doesnt get to do. My little brother gets mad and throws a fit. He doesnt get as mad anymore but sometimes he does. Jealousy is a problem in our society because everyone get jealous in some point in their life. Jealousy can cause you to do some meen things if you get to jelous. Or sometimes you just get really mad and dont talk to who ever it is your jelous of.

A time when jealously has affected my life is well since am the youngest i dont get aloud to do stuff that my brother and sister get to do. I think they get away with more stuff and get alot more things then i do. Now that i am getting older i think its alot more fair now. But jealousy can happen in oppsite ways like you can be jealous of one person and that person is jealous of you and you dont even know it. I think jealousy happens to everyone because someone always wants something that someone else has. I think there should be less jeasouly though because you should be thankful for the things you do have.

The times I see jealousy being displayed the most is at home with my sister, and at dance. My sister and I are only 3 years apart, so we get jealous of each other often. Whether it is grades or the gifts we get, jealousy is often put in the way of our friendship, which shouldn't happen. When either of us is jealous, we don't talk to each other. This creates a problem because we are both being unfair to one another. I also see jealously so often at dance. Sometimes people get a special part in a dance or recieve praise often, and people get jealous. I think jealousy is very common in sports because every one is working hard to reach the same goal. When someone achives the goal before all the rest of the team, people get upset. Jealousy is a problem because it leads people to talk about the person they are jealous of. If you only mind and focus on what your doing, then you should be happy for that person, not upset with them.
Jealousy is a common thing in everybody's household. Sometimes I feel that my older sister gets more attention and gets to do a lot more things than I do. She has the bigger bedroom (even though she is away most of the time), and sometimes it seems the world revolves around her. I don't like to feel this way because jealousy can make you say and do things that you normally do not do. The problem is that it hurts my feelings sometimes, and I love my sister and I don't want to have those jealous feelings. Lately, my parents have tried to do extra things for me, like re-doing my bedroom. My dad plays tennis with me and watches football games with me. Yes, I feel that I have gotten over the jealous feelings with my sister. Jealousy is a problem in our society because it makes you act out in ways that you shouldn't. You read the papers where a jealous man kills his wife and children. How sad is that! Jealous feelings should be dealt with so you don't do things that hurt another person.

Mr.Kay,
A time in my life when I felt jealousy was just a few weeks ago. If you don't know this im in color guard and when the season ends in november there is a winter season called winter guard. Well My mom won't let me do winter guard, so I was really upset because I really love to do guard. The jealousy comes in because all my friends from guard are continuing on to winter guard and i'm not. This created a problem because it sort of made me mad a first because they got to do it, but now i'm kind of over it. I thought about it and being mad isnt going to put me in winter guard, so I think that the problem is in the process of being resolved. I think that in society jealousy is a big problem because we all want to have more then everyone else. And when we try to have more is when we start getting the crime such as stealing.

Mr. Kay,
A time that jealousy has occured in my life time is right now, actually. You see, I like this guy and he is really super sweet. But every time I see him, he is always hanging around these girls. My friends tell me that he likes me to, but I still get really jealous. The cool thing about him, is that when we are walking together, if someone comes up to us, he'll answer them and then just keep talking to me. He is really sweet, and I am trying not to get so jealous. I want to give him his space, I don't want him to think that I am being over pretective of him. He's a great guy. I'm really happy that I got to meet him. I believe that Jealousy is a big problem in our society because it almost always causes problems. Especially in girls. Guys tend to use there fists, while girls tend to use there words.

A time when jealousy occured is when it was my birthday. During my 13th birthday when I was opening presents I got a lap top and my little sister got really mad because she didn't get one. She said it wasn't fair, then she went up stairs to her room crying. How we resolved the problem was by letting use to play games and stuff like sollitare. Also to watch DVD's while we are on the road going somewhere. How I think jealousy is in society by the way people dress like if you see a person wearing a shirt or a pair of shoes that you like and you just have to have it I guess that would be a sign of jelousy. Thats how I think jelousy is in our society.

I do try my best not to be jealous. I try my best to be content with what I have. However, no matter how much I try, it's almost human nature to feel envious of his/her fellow man/woman(these politically correct pronouns are starting to bug me). I had such a problem when Jasmine moved in(my 2nd dog). She was kept in a kennel the first 2 years of her life, so she was high strung, this also meant she needed more attention. Bandit(first dog) actually liked her the first 2-3 days.Afterwords, he started to tire of her presence(Bandit is fixed but Jaz is not). But instead of lashing out whenever he got ignored, ran over(by her) or Jaz nipping at him("freaking vampire" is what Bandit was thinking) he laid down, and napped. This issue might have resolved itself because he misses her when she runs off. Jealousy has been a problem, always will be, this issue is having to deal with jealousy.

Mr. Kay,
I remember that when I was young(er), I would always complain about all the rules and rewards my brother got and I didn't. I would always be mad at him and be mad at my parents for doing this. I knew that my parents were mostly doing me good, but is still made me mad how he got to do near anything he wanted, but I didn't get to really do much. I would throw fits, and beg to get the same rights that he did, but i never got them. I slowly got them properly with age. Jealousy is a problem because it can ruin so much. Say, if you are really jealous of someone, you might start making lies about them, ruining their reputation. Jealousy can bring up many new problems, which could ruin a persons life. The could be like the Crucible because say Goody Procter knew about Abigail and she wanted to expose of her out of jealousy and hate, she could just say she's a witch and - Abby's dead. So, all in all, jealousy blows.

jealousy is an on-going fealing that will always be present in society. sometimes you can't always see it but you can feel it. sometimes people try to ignore it or they deal with it. i used to be jealous of my older brother. he went to Catholic Central and never got under a 4.0. he played almost every sport once and made varsity ski team all four years and later became the team captain. he was accepted to many colleges and is still keeping up with his good grades. my parents seemed to just adore him until they found out something about him that wasn't so good. i would get mad when he came home with better report cardes and made sport teams. i felt that my parents cared about him more. i realized that i shouldn't envy what he achieved, i had to look at his work as a goal to reach. jealousy is always going to be lingering around us waiting for us to take it in, you just have to keep it out.
A time of jealousy occurred in my best friend. There was a girl that my friend liked and she was going out with someone else. Now this made my friend not only jealous but sad. He couldn't stop thinking about her. And to tell the truth it seemed like she didn't even know he existed. So I told him she wasn't worth it and that he should move on because there are many other girls out there. At first he didn't take my advice but after a while he relized that i was right and got over it. Jealousy is a problem in our society because it sometimes makes people do stupid things. For example, my friend became gloomy and hated the guy the girl he liked was dating. Sometimes jealousy can lead to someone getting into a fight with someone. Which could turn out to be catastrophic.

Everyone is jealous at one point in their life. I know that I have been jealous many times throughout my life. When I was younger I would get jealous of my sister. It seemed to me that she always got more stuff than me and my parents spent more money on her. My dad always used to tell me that he would buy me things that my sister wouldn't care to have and visa versa. Back then, I still didn't really understand the concept of this because to me it still seemed that she got more than me. Now that I am older I realize that my dad does spend a lot of money on me. My dad and I both enjoy hunting. This is one of the things that my dad spends a lot money on for me. He doesn't spend nearly as much money on my sister for hunting stuff, but he will make up for it on things that she likes. Jealousy is a big problem in today's world because people aren't content with what they have. It seems that people are taking things for granted and not really being greatful for the things they do have. People are becoming greedy and like you've heard before "the grass is always greener on the other side." This is directly related to the meaning of jealousy.

The places that I experience jealousy the most is at home and my social life in school. At home I get jealous of my sister a lot. Sometimes she may get special treatment and I don't. This makes me very jealous. At school I get jealous of other guys talking to my girlfriend. I can't help but get jealous. I don't know why but it gets me all worked up. I usually am able to resolve these problems. i get over them by just letting things work themselves out instead of getting in a huge fuss about things. Society deals with huge issues of jealousy today. People want to be the best no matter the cost. Jealousy usually is the rootcause of these problems. If someone is doing better than you, you have to be better than them.

A time when I was jelous was when I was very little. My sister Amanda would always came home from her Grandma's house she would get all the cool stuff. She never knew that i was jelous. When ever i came back from my nannys house I would get alot of cool stuff. She was always jelous. Sooner or later my stuff was gone. She ended up steeling it. It ruins our sociey. I am jealous of all the cool stuff the little kids get now. For example, When I was in like 3rd grade leap frog just came out. They had the crappy voices on there. So now they have all the cool little voices and many different books. So yeah.
I was jelouse when both my brother and sister recieved their liscence. Yea, I could get rides from them, but I mean they always getting sick of me asking all the time to drive me somewhere. On some occasions, my brother made me pay him when he really didnt fell like driving. I couldve spent the money on something better and I envied him having his liscence. I was able to resolve this problem simply by getting my liscence. Since having it, I am more free able to get from a to b without stress. Jelously is a problem in todays society by, people trying to get what they want by danger. If someones rich, its easy to be jelouse and someone else could want to live how they do. So a person could maybe counterfit money to get in that posistion which is illegal.

Jealosy can cause alot of problems. For example it can make you be not your self if you are tring to be like someone. Jealosy can also make yourslef feel bad. You are jealous of some thing so you want to be like that. It can put you down and make you feel not good. Jealousy one time made me try things that I was uncapable of doing. I ended up getting a bit hurt physicaly and mentaly. After I was able to resolve this propblem by doing something that I'm good at and was just myself. Jealosy is a problem in our society because, the US revolves around it. Advertising is all about jealousy and it isn't right.

Jealousy is something that everybody goes threw many times in thier life. One time i was jealous of someone was when i was at my friends house swimming in the lake. Now mind you that me and my friend haven't been able to hang out in awhile, so when our other friend wanted to come over we both saud "no". Then he went home all mad and stuff and told his parents. That was the main problem because then his dad was all up in our stuff a couple days later. We did solve the problem because we apologized to our friend and then asked him if he wanted to play football. Jealousy is a problem in many ways. First of all if you want a girl/guy but someone else gets him/her, that person might do something bad to the other kid. A more extreme example is someone might threaten a company or person because they didn't get a job or something. That was two examples but there are so many more it not even funny.
Ty Bouwens, 6th hour
Everyone experiences the feeling of jealousy many times in his/her life. Jealousy is a part of growing up, and its something that we all go through. Having a little bit of jealousy or envy is a good thing, because it pushes you to do better, and to try harder. But when jealousy starts to overcome your life, to the point where it is stopping you from doing something you want to do, is a problem. Since I grew up with an older sister, I experience jealousy a lot. Because she is older, I feel my family pays a little more attension to her than me, because she is seen as more older, and wiser. Where as, Im the youngest, so I am just seen as the "baby" of the family. In the end, I know my family still loves me the same as my sister, so it always resolves in the end.
I would say that my sister has been jealous of stuff I was able to do. Like I was able to drive the tractor like a year before her and she had a whole freak out about it. She gets angry about stupid little things. Like another time I had some pen and she got angry I had it and she didn't. I know that sounds pretty ridiculous but it pissed her off. Most of the time my parents just sorted it out. There has also been times where shes stolen my stuff. The problem with jealousy in our society is people will steal it if they cant buy it.

Jealousy is a very abundant emotion that many people feel quite often. I can think of several problems when I have experienced jealousy, however, I don not wish to share some of them at this time. One example I will willingly share is that one time when I liked a girl (not giving any more details) and so did my best friend. However, I'm pretty sure this girl liked my friend back, which made me jealous. I think it's pretty obvious what the problem is now. I wasn't completely able to solve the problem, but I did talk to my friend about it before we knew she liked him, and he took it okay i think. I eventually just moved on, but nonetheless, I was jealous. Jealousy is a problem in our society because it causes people to do irresponsible things that they wouldn't normally do. An example is violence.
Mr. Kay,
One time when I was jealous was when I was in 6th grade. When I was little, I was a so called "LEGO" freak. Well I went to my friends birthday party one year and he had this sweet lego toy. Well knowing me, when everyone else left I gtrabbed it. He camer back and was looking for it and I said that the dog ate it when I wasnt looking.(we were gullable back then). But this is an example of how jealousy can make you make bad decisions that can ruin the rest of your life. Even though I did this, the guilt ate me up and I gave it back to him.
Tim wilson
Every person in this world has been jealous at least one time in their life, weather they showed it or not they have been. I am not that jealous of a person, when i get jealous I will keep it to myself. A time I got jealous was when my brother would come home with a 4.0 GPA on his report card. Even though he is 4 years older than me people would still compare us. My mom would and still says how good of a student he was and how good of grades he gets. Or in hockey they say how well he skated and that he was so good. But then I felt left out, just because I didnt get a 4.0 or wasent as good as him at hockey. But, as I got older I realized I didnt care anymore. If he did better than me it didn't bug me too much. I realized that I can just try as hard as I can and i shouldn't compare myself to other people. Jealousy is a problem in our society because there are always people better than others at a certain thing. I think that people now are too wrapped up in trying to be as good as other people they dont just worry about themselves. Because if people worked hard at something and quit trying to be like someone else they wont get better at it.

A time where I fell jelouse is when my sister gets to got out later than me. I feel that it is unfair. If my parents are going to let my sister do somethng I think that I should be able to do the same. Jealously comes around alot in my family, no one ever thinks anything is fair. Everyone is always aruging about what they don't get and what they don't have. I wish we could all just get along and live our lives without conflict. Yes and no my parents started to let me stay out until 11:30 oposed to 10:00 which I like alot more. Jealousy is a problem in society because when someone feels that it is unfair for someone to have something that they don't have, or afford then robery starts to come into effect alot of the times. I think if there was no reason for people to be jealous then it would resovle alot of the economic problems as well.

Write about a time when jealously (your own or someone else's) caused a problem for you. What was the problem? Were you able to resolve this problem? Why is jealousy a problem in our society?
Jealousy infects everyones life at some time. I think of a time when i was jealous of someones grades. I tried so hard to pass this person and do better than them. But, this causedd me to be so wrapped up that all my grades were going down. I had to just settle down in order to resolve this conflict. Jealousy is a problem in society becauase of what it does to relaationships. you may be jealous of a freind and it eventually eats away o tear apart a relationship.
There's an ongoing battle between myself and a certain student in this school (not to list any names), and ever since I moved to Highland, she's been jealous of my artistic talent and the attention it draws(heehee. no pun intended.) I'm not sure when this fued was actually started, but she's developed this undying hatred of my guts. I find it to be jealousy. Pure envy because she tries to be who she isn't. Tries so desperately to be me. And no amount of simple cold-shoulders will ever get her to stop. Quite annoying actually. And now she's trying to blame ME for her problems. Saying that *I* trace artwork. That *I* am heartless. Hmph. Yeah right.
I think jealousy is a problem in when there is a 'Social Ladder' in our society and middle class people desire the luxuries of the higher class inhabitants. It normally causes an issue and some namecalling. Rarely does the jealosuy of one's status causes a riot in which blame is placed upon certain individuals for no particular reason.

i remeber a time of jealously. i was jealous about when my sister got to go to a friends house. i couldnt go to one of my friends house. the problem was that my mom wouldnt take me to my friends house because she was to busy. but my mom could make time for taking my sister to another persons house. the problem was never resolved. i feel jealously is a problem in society because it affects everyone. its always happening and it can screw up everything that is going on. mosy importantly is that it is just being selphish about how you cant do or get something else that someone else got.
A time where jealousy cuased a problem in my life happen this year. I started to get jealous at this person and i didn;t even know why. After a while i started not to like this person. Now i am still mad at this person and we arn't friends any more. I think jealousy is a problem in our society because everyone wants to have the perfect life. The money, the house, and the girl. But not everyone can get wat thay want. Those people then see others with wat they want and become jealous and staqrt to not like them. They don't like them becuase of wat they have, not because they are a bad person.

Well right now there is jealously but i cant talk about it here. I cant say the problem. No i havent been able tosolv this problem because, i cant get through her thick stubern head. I dont have anything else i can say about this. Sorry
I remember that when i was really little me and my sister got those big bouncy balls. Her's was pink and mine was red. I was so jealous that she got the pink one that i stole it from her. She of course told my mom and i got grounded or was sent to my room. We later resolved this by her letting me take turns with the pink one. So basically jealousy makes you act stupid because you want something really bad. Jealousy is a problem because crimes are commited due to jealousy. Like a person may be jealous of his/her ex dating different people which may result in violence. Also people steal from stores because they want something.

Jealousy can make many problems in everybodys life. Jealousy can lead to depression and hurt feelings. A time when I was jealous was when my sister had better graddes then me. I know I am not the brightest kid in the neighborhood but when I saw that my sister had a 4.0 and I didnt made me jealous. I think I would have felt better if she didnt get so high of grades because then it would put less pressure on me to do better. I think jealousy is a problem in our society becuase when someone makes someone jealous it makes them feel better. Its the same concept as making fun of someone so that you feel better.

You can see jealousy anywhere. A time I had become jealous was when friends get things I want but dont have. It seems Something new comes out and you want it but your friend gets it first. This makes me jealous but I found out its realy up to you. You just cant have everything you want. In society jealousy is more extreme. People kill for some things wich is very crepy. jealousy is hard to get over but you can.
The definition of jealously is the resentful or painful desire for another's advantages. A time when jelousy caused a problem for me was when one of the aunts that I really don't like got my cousins new scooters and gave be little tech deck skateboards. At the time I felt angry. I couldn't understand how they got something so nice and how i got some crappy thing. Later when I grew up I learned she isn't very nice to a lot of people. Well the way I solved this problem was to just think of all of the other things that I have and made me appreciate what I have gotten. About a week later I got a new scooter from my grandma for Christmas.=P I think jealousy is a problem in todays society because no one is satisfied with the things we already have. I think this ties into the whole CHRISTMAS/holiday season. I think that people are to concerned about what they are getting for Christmas instead of following the real meaning of Christmas. To me it feels better to give gifts, just seeing the reaction on others peoples faces is enough for me.

Jealousy is something that you can not escape. I can get jealous of my brother at times, and it makes me so mad. Just because he's older and a senior he can do all this stuff, and I can't. For instance, on days we have off of school he can go places, but I can't. He can only go places because he has a car, it's not my fault I wasn't old enough to take drivers ed in the summer. My jealously of his can cause a problem because, then I get an attitude towards him and my parents. Then in the long run, I end up getting myself in trouble, so then I wouldn't be able to go out even if I did get a ride. How Ryan and I were able to resolve this problem is by, if he's on his way out to go hang out with some friends, he'll give my a ride to my friends house as well. So we compromised, in a mature manner. Jealously is a problem in our society because people want what they can't have. If someone wanted something just because there friend had it, they would want to get it just because there friend does. Then as soon as they get it, they realized that it wasn't their thing, and that they didn't want it. It happens all the time in societies, people want what they simply can't have. If they are lucky enough to retrieve it, they don't want it.

Everyone including my self are jealous at some point or another in there life. As I grow older I feel that I am less jealous then when I was younger. When I was younger I got upset about lots of little things. However now I am alot more chill about the things that go on around me. Recently my ex girlfriend was jealous of me because I am going out with one of her friends. Some shit went down and my ex girlfriend and my girlfriend are no longer friends. I feel kind of bad I got in the middle of there friendship. I really hope they can patch things up so it is not so awkward for me. jealousy is a problem in are society because it starts gossip and rumors.

Jealousy causes problems for people all the time. An example of this is me and my brothers. Me and my 13 year old brother Matt can sometimes get jealous of our littler brothers. When we were that age we had a very strict bedtime but now for them, its like an hour later and my parents don't really try to make it on time. They also get more stuff like the ps2 and technology stuff. We don't really have to solve this problem because its not really important. We get over it. But some people don't. Jealousy is a problem because everyone wants to be the best but not everyone can. So people get jealous because they want the best car, best job, most money, to be the post popular.
A time that jealously caused a problem was when in middle school i was comparing scores with someone eles and noticed that one of mine was marked incorrect. But, on my freinds paper it was marked correct and it was the same answer. I brought it up to the teacher and the teacher marked my freinds paper grade down beacasue it was a mistake. I got jealous of my freind geting it corrert and me geting it wrong, and he suffured from it. The problem was not resoled and his score was just lowered, when my score stayed teh same. Jealousy is a problem in our society beacasue people want things the cant have so they go to extreme measures to get these things. Also not everyone can have everhting and not everone is going to be treated the same it all comes down to what YOU want to do.

Usually, I would get jealous when people would compare my stepsister to me. I would often be mean to her after those things happened when I should've been angry at the people who put me down while putting her up on a throne. My stepmom and her family would make me stand next to her to show off how tall she got, and whenever I asked my dad to do one tiny thing for me, he would say that if Charlotte, my stepsister, could do it then I could. To resolve this problem I just kept reminding myself that I can do everything she can do better, which is actually true, I have yet to find one thing she can do better than me. I do everything myself at my dad's house and Charlotte can't even shop for herself while her mother does everything for her. I'm oaky with being short because one day I'll get to be around kids all day working as SHORT Tinkerbell at Disney World and she can't be a TALL model because frankly, she's pretty goofy looking, and has such bad posture that when she stands she looks like an old tortoise. I think I'm better at dealing with her, I am older than her but she has been acting the same way she has since she was 6. Jealousy is a problem in society when people take it too far and take radical action in order to emulate another person. That is often the problem for famous people and polititians, ecspecially when jealousy makes you take things from another person or copy everything they do.
Carolyn Newton Period 5
Jealousy is a problem for everyone. I do not think there is a way to completely avoid it, because it is our human nature to be jealous every once in a while. I know that a continuing jealousy problem for me has to do with my brother. Time after time, he gets C's and D's. If I were to get a B, I would probably be grounded. He just has to keep above a D to be able to do whatever he wants. I understand that my parents have different expectations for each of their children, but sometimes it just seems unfair that I get yelled at or looked down on when I get below an A, and my brother gets praised for getting anything higher than a C. I am not as jealous anymore about this, but I still feel it is unfair from time to time again. Jealousy is a problem in our society because there are many different levels of wealth and success. People become jealous that they don't have the material possessions others have, or that they aren't as successful as others are. Jealousy causes people to become more focused on having more than someone else, rather than doing what makes them happy in life.

A time that I was jealous was when I could not play a video game my friend could. My Mom would not let me. My Mom did not allow me to play the game because it was T rated and I was not a teen yet. The problem with this is that most of my friend’s parents don’t care what they play or they don’t have little siblings that can’t be around when they play it. I was able to over come this problem by waiting until I was old enough. My parents belived that I was mature enough. Jealousy is a problem in our society because we feel we want the things that other people have.
justin matheny, barry abner, and david matheny, i dont care if you all fight me... but do it one on one... at least fight fair.... not fair when its 4 on one if ya wanna count yur lil' brother... i dont give a fuck if the fucking president fuckin hit me in the nutz id hit em back.
Everyone has a jealous side. Some more than others. I get really jealous of my mom and her boyfriend. When I want to talk to her she is always on the damn phone with him. If she's not one the phone with him she is iming him. She's always talking about him and, seems like she don't want to talk to me unless its about him. The only problem this has caused is me and my mom are no longer close like we used to be.

Jealousy has affected my life, and still is in my life. so anyways, you know i have an older brother. Well, my dad and mom always work, and my bro an i have sports so they take time off to watch us do our thing. but what do my parents do? they go n see ricky the same night i have something, i always look in the stands, i dont see my dadd or my ma. so i have to get a ride home, when i pull in the drive way, i see their cars, so im a little ticked..but i put a smile on and walk on in. My family is laughin and ricky is holding a game ball and my dad is going on about how he pitched "awesome" and how he got a home run..i say GOOD JOB..but anyways i get really jealous of my brother he gets awesome grades, my parents go to his sporting events, in fact my dad has never been to mine, only rickys, i wish i was him sometimes...i dont know what im gonna do. I would talk to my parents about the problem but my mom would get mad, and i never see my dad cuz hes always working. iut doesnt make it any better when people tell me ricky is better then me, or say hows it feel to have bro that might go in the majors? i need to control my jealousy, but i dnt knw what am i going to do? this is a issue today, and i think it always will be.

Everyone has some jealousy in them. a time when i was jealous was when my sister went to go get her phone fixed and they couldnt fix it so she got a brand new phone. I freaked out cause she got the phone i wanted. I was able to resolve this problem because i ended up getting the same phone a couple days after(:. jealousy is a problem today because everyone has things others dont. so then you might want something that your friends have, but you cant have it. it can also cause you to be mean at times becuase if you dont like that someone has something that you dont, you could hurt them or something.
I'm not the jealous type of person. It takes alot to make me jealous. But there was once where i can remember when i was. It was last year, and pat broke up with me cuz he said he was going to a fair with him ex girlfriend. And of course i got pissed. I dont really like her can you say slut. Anyways, and i found out 2 days later he liked a 7th grader and i fliped. I got really extreamly jealous. I just tryed my hardest to get him to go back out with me. I tryed everything and it wasnt working. Finally the last day of school he asked me out and i said no. and 3 days later he found out a nother girl liked him and he asked her out. I found out he only did that to make me jealous. Why do guys do that. serioulsy? In the end it was all good. Jealousy causes big problems in out world today.
One time someone i knew got jealous over a girl with their boyfriend. They fought with him for a long freaking time and made things way worse. It was pointless and just blew up the whole situation. Jealousy is a big problem because it is so easy to want what others have in this time. That, or you want what is yours all to yourself. Jealousy works out just by time and talking, I think. It has a way of working out on its own. No one should let it get the best of them because you will look back and regret it.

Jealousy is pretty much one of the worst feelings ever. It makes you feel insecure and less fortunate, angry for the things you don't have, and it gives you that nauseous feeling in your gut. And it can come at anytime for any stupid reason. I remember being so jealous that my friend got the coat i wanted, that i unconsciously became mad at her. Ya, it passed after like an hour, but it still wasn't a good feeling. Jealousy is a huge problem in society. It can drive people to do the most ridiculous of things. Because they want to be the best, or have the most.
Jealousy has happen to me alot. i get jealous about alot of things too. most of the time its not really big things but im diffinatly jealous for them. a recent time when i was jealous was when my aunt bought my brother a car. he had the nicest set of wheels in the house and i was definatly jealous. the problem kind of died down after a while, it started to be not as big of a deal. in our society today jealous is prominent. i think of jealousy when pepole want to be or have the things celebritys have. theres so many TV shows that just go on and on obcessing about how rich these stars are, and it makes you jealous.

I was jealous when i wasnt given a varsity jersey last year. Our coach let me sit the bench but i couldnt go throught warmups or play. This made me jealous because another player from jv got to move up and wear a jersey. I think that this made me work harder so that i made sure i was able to play the next year. This jealousy helped me become better. Now i am jealous of the starters on varsity because they get more playing time than me. Hopefully this motivates me to get better and improve. I think that jealousy can be good and bad and in my case it good.
Jealous is everywhere in society. It really bothers me when i see or hear it too. A time was when i had two extra tickets to a msu fottball game. I picked two friends and one of my other friends got jeaulous. He was mad becuase he thought i was going to pick him for sure. I talked to him the next day and we worked it out. It was akward though. It is a problem in society because it gets everyone mad at each other.

Write about a time when jealously (your own or someone else's) caused a problem for you. What was the problem? Were you able to resolve this problem? Why is jealousy a problem in our society?
Jealousy causes problems for me all the time. I often get jealous of people and it has brought me nothing good. I get jealous of my friends so much. I'm not going to get very much into this (believe me if I could think of another example I would.). But yeah when ever I got jealous of my friends I really got too hard on myself and blah. I was able to resolve most of the problem but I still get jealous pretty easily, and most of my friggin friends take advantage of that. :/. Jealousy is a big problem in our society because it can bring people down and cause others to hate one another.

My internet didn't work until now so this is late i think.
The places that I experience jealousy the most is at home and my social life in school. At home I get jealous of my sister a lot. Sometimes she may get special treatment and I don't. This makes me very jealous. At school I get jealous of other guys talking to my girlfriend. I can't help but get jealous. I don't know why but it gets me all worked up. I usually am able to resolve these problems. i get over them by just letting things work themselves out instead of getting in a huge fuss about things. Society deals with huge issues of jealousy today. People want to be the best no matter the cost. Jealousy usually is the rootcause of these problems. If someone is doing better than you, you have to be better than them.

as i nmentioned in tuesdays blog, i couldnt access blogger til sunday night cause of an i.p. banning. io dohnt know why though.
anyways. for the blog.
jealousy has caused me to become the pertson that i am not. i have been jealous of a lot of people over my years, and i must say, it has a big affect on you at that point in your life. and although i cant remember a specific time in my olife, i will say that none of them ended good. anytuime i have been jealous of anyone, or envious of something about them, i strive to get that material object, only to figure out, it isnt that fun. thats really been buyers remorse for me, because everytime i get something that a friend has, well, i always found it not as good as theirs. i resolved the probklems by either getting the opbject or not caring anymore. but in the end, ive gotten over almost everything i am jealous or envious of
