Being poor stinks (even more when you're constantly reminded of it), but it's not something to be ashamed of. Not sure exactly what I'd've done in such an environment but probably would've tried to learn what I could from others, and try to just be a friend. If learning I was poor would make them ashamed of me, then the real problem is being surrounded by judgmental a-holes all day, not really being poor. (And unfortunately there are judgmental a-holes in all walks of life, rich and poor.)
