in our country, girls usually want to put themself in very beautiful to attract others. with the competitive increasingly high, the performence become more importnat to girls, and girls always wear expensive clouthes to ensure they are the are beautiful and powerful girls,which more people, not fashionable and wealthy, are followed them. that makes me tired. because i don't want to be bullied what's more i don't totally dislike to waste my parent's money on that. i think it is boring, however, usually take my thought to care about it, then i am difficult to focus on studying. what shuould i do? i need to wear expensive like them or maybe? if i don't follow the clowd, or i become alone, and have no friends? i am really confuse about that.

I've had the same problem when I was in high school. All my friends were always shopping to buy expensive clothes, and they like wasting their money for expensive clothes. Me, as a student, I also don't want to waste my parent's money on that. What I do is just buy clothes that looks expensive but the truth is they're really cheap. I can find some expensive-looking clothes in bargain stores.

You should be yourself. If people don't want to accept you for who you are then to hell with them, they're not worth your time and they are not, I repeat ARE NOT even worth fretting over.
You can go to school in cheap clothing, second hand clothing even hand made clothing and still look neat.
When you finish high school, what you wore won't have mattered anyway.

You don't have to wear expensive clothes to look nice. You can wear clothes that look expensive but are actually cheap. This is what I did in high school and I always got comments on how nice my clothes were.
You should always be yourself and like yourself for who you are. However I had friends in high school because I tried to fit in and I saw how hard it was for people who didn't make an effort to fit in. They either got bullied or left out. Both those things are not a great feeling and I wouldn't wish them on anyone.
However I can't advise you to stop being who you are in order to fit in. But not fitting in would be a lonely school experience unfortunately.
I'm sure there are people at your school who don't follow the crowd and are similar to you, maybe you should seek them out. And you don't wnat to be friends with people who just like you for your clothes anyway.
