I feel embarrassed for having a job in high school. How should I handle things?

So basically, I go to this really prestigious private school and I'm a senior right now, and about a year and a half ago or so, my parents completely cut me off financially. Even though they're really well-off, they refuse to give me money thinking that I should "work for what I want and need instead of having it all handed to me" because that's how real life works.
Long story short, to be able to move around and do all the things the people at my school do, I have to work two jobs and its STILL not close to enough. It's just so embarrassing. I mean, they keep on dragging me to places I honestly can't afford, but if I say that it's going to be really embarassing and also, it's going to seem really unrealistic because they've seen my house and the way my parents live. The only person I've told is my boyfriend. I can't help but feel ashamed that there's just so little I can afford, and also a bit jealous of my friends, who get to do everything they want. I mean, their parents get them Range Rovers and Mercedes SUV's and all I could afford to buy myself was a used Honda Civic from 2000.
My friends are just making it so hard for me to feel good about myself, and if I tell them I KNOW they're going to make fun of me. They look down on the sort of kids who have to get a job through high school. I already tried asking my parents and failed to achieve anything, I feel like they're just trying to ruin my life.
Any advice? What should I do?

Honda Civic EP2 Jerky Start?

I've just bought my first car, an 2005 Honda Civic Sport.
I haven't drove the car yet, but my Dad has and when I'm inside it with him, the car, moving at a slow speed, especially when pulling off, is slightly jerky?
I have been told its just because the clutch is different, and needs time to get used to, but coming from someone who has drove for 30+ years, could it be something else?

Is this car worth buying?

Is this car worth buying? - 1

Added (1). its a 98 honda civic. What's wrong with it? "Left lower control arm, idle control sensor" and it needs a new battery but i can find a cheap one of those. 1, are these car parts hard to find(junkyard, etc) 2 IF these things were not fixed would it mean the car will be not good to drive cross country? I have a mechanic who can put the parts in for me for free if i can find them, i just need to know how common the parts are to find and how critical these things are for the car

Will i even get approved for a loan?

I'm 18 with no credit and my parents keep telling me that once their new house is built they can help me cosign, but the date keeps getting pushed back. I have a 01 mustang with 174k miles, and the thing is falling apart. Always breaking down. I found an 06 honda civic for 12k. I have 3400 down plus whatever my car is worth probably 1k. And my parents might help with another 1k. So i probably have 5000-5500k.
Will i even get approved for it?

Did they rip me off for my Honda Civic 2015 lease?

I leaded a Honda Civic LX 2015 in Orange County and I paid 2000 down payment + 260 monthly for 36 months!
They said it is a bit expensive because I'm a first time buyer. My credit score is 685. Did they rip me off?

Should I buy an old used car from someone I trust or no?

Hi, I live in a major city but I need a car for commuting. My 1999 Nissan Altima has likely been totaled due to a recent auto accident.

I'm in a relatively well financial situation. I *could* buy a new car, but don't want to. I'd really like to pay cash, and that means I can't really pay more than $5000 right now. That being said, it's proving to be difficult to find what I want. I'd really like a Japanese car and I'd *really* like it to have under 100,000 miles. That's the kicker… It seems like even 10+ year old cars with well over 100k are going for a lot of $$. I must have gotten very lucky when I purchased mine 8 years ago, because it had under 100k miles and was less than 10 years old, and less than $5k cost.

Here's where I'm torn. A friend of mine is willing to sell me her car very cheaply. She is moving bought a new SUV. Here are the details:

2002 Honda Civic LX - 4 Door - White
Mileage: 187500

The Good:
- All maintenance receipts saved
- Spark plugs replaced September 2013
- Timing belt replaced November 2014
- Timely completed all servicing as per service manual (e.g., mileage, oil, tire rotation)
- Only highway miles - Eight (8) years daily commute, approx 70 miles

The Bad:
- Intermittent Air Conditioning (just started acting up)
- Front struts

Would it be crazy to purchase her car for less than $2000 while I save and think about a car I really want?

2002 Honda Civic LX overheating?

I bought this car and the dealer had its garage do inspection. I didn't realize they don't check coolant. So i put coolant and was fine for maybe three days. Tempature Gage was going up to red at stop, then back done when I push on gas. So I checked coolant needed some more, but there NO leak on ground. I have heat in car. And when I open cap in mornings coolant ozes out with pressure. Why? And how do I fix this problem of overheating?

How much would it cost if I go to a shop to get it done?

I heard that you could go to a high school auto shop class and they'd be able to do it for you, is this true?

How much would it cost if I just bought the part and did it myself? And would it be possible for me to do that?
