Status

In my school, seeming and acting like you come from a wealthy family would earn you respect from other people. For example, Myra (not actual name) comes from a family that's well-payed. She uses an iPhone 6 and wears Swatch to school. Therefore, people will look at her as a rich kid. Other students will look up to her because her status rises due to the fact that she comes from a rich family.
Honestly, I admit that I get judged a lot due to my financial status. My batchmates look at me like I come from a normal family with parents who earn probably RM5K per month. My mom always told me, "Zuhud la Adik. Jangan show off." But me being humble has costed my batchmates perspective of me. I think if I told everyone how much money my parents make per month, I am 100% sure that their opinions on me would change. Because that's just how people judge.
One of my other friends also come from a good family. We agree that, yes, being humble is what is taught in Islam, but we are being judged because of it. I know that I should stay humble and take care of my family's image bla bla bla, but I'm genuinely scared that there will be a day where I'll be forced to admit my financial status just to protect myself.

Just because I use a 5S, doesn't mean I can't afford a 6+.
Just because I don't wear Nike sport shoes, doesn't mean I can't afford them.
Just because I don't wear Ice Watch, doesn't mean I can't afford it.
Just because my house isn't a bungalow or a villa, doesn't mean I'm poor.

Don't judge people by the way they look. Believe me, people will seem so much more different when you get to know them. Be humble. Because that's how you'll protect your dignity.
