Why do people hate you if you have an easy life?

The world is full of people, some are good, some simply find happiness in other peoples sorrows and struggles. Your story or 'predicament' remind me of school, where my friends would do the same to put me down. Never let them win, because they want to be you. From what I've learned, it is all about wanting what you have. Let them squirm in jealousy, you be yourself... Good luck mate! Have a Happy new year!
