Answer
Timeshare at its core is essentially a group of people sharing the cost of a vacation home.
The word "timeshare" has grown over the decades to include a wide variety of vacation products and plans. Also known as "vacation ownership" "holiday ownership" and "interval ownership" , its umbrella covers traditional deeded timeshare ownership, fractional ownership, private residence clubs, points clubs, and more. Some would even broaden the term further to include campground memberships and the " condo hotel" concept, in which a condo is purchased outright but the owner is only allowed to use it for a specific periods of time and it is rented by a hotel management company for the remainder of the time.
Regardless of how loosely or rigidly you choose to define the term, the basic premise of timeshare is simple. You and a group of other people share the purchase cost of a vacation accommodation, in increments of one week (or more) per year of use, thus guaranteeing your ability to use that accommodation during the period of time you choose, either for life or for a specified number of years. Accommodations range from hotel rooms to condos, from cabins to luxury houses and castles, from yachts and cruise ships to RVs and houseboats.Owning timeshare in the traditional sense means a condominium/villa/house/hotel unit, etc. is subdivided into 52 separate units of time (52 weeks in 1 year), and usually sold to a maximum of 51 owners (leaving one week each year closed down for annual renovations and/or maintenance). Each owner would own 1/51 of the unit. Each share repesents one week of vacation. Each owner is entitled to ownership rights and privileges of the shares that they purchased.
This system makes vacation home ownership possible for many people who cannot afford a second home or who otherwise would not be able to enjoy such resort facilities. It is important to remember that purchasing timeshare should never be viewed as a financial investment with the expectation of gaining a profit in either reselling it or renting it to someone else. Timeshare is an investment in lifestyle, in future holidays, in family time together, and when viewed that way it can be a good investment indeed.
Timeshare is definitely for people with NO FINANCIAL problems and when doing it for the RIGHT reasons and under the RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES it can be a GOOD THING.
BIG "NO,NOS" IN TIMESHARE:
*If you normally spend less than $100 USD a night for accommodations then timeshare is NOT FOR YOU
*It is not a financial investment
*Don´t buy if you plan to rent it
*Don´t buy if you plan on reselling
*Don´t buy if you plan on exchanging often
*Make sure you can afford to travel at least one week a year
*NEVER BUY FROM THE DEVELOPER
THE RIGHT CIRCUMSTANCES:
*This system makes vacation home ownership possible for many people who cannot afford a second home or who otherwise would not be able to enjoy such resort facilities. Timeshare is an investment in lifestyle, in future holidays, in family time together, and when viewed that way it can be a good investment indeed.
*Get it in an area the you LOVE and that you would visit every year without a problem
*Get it in a very nice Resort (where normally people would pay at least $200 a night)
*Get it in the resale market (it would cost you less than $1000 USD) so all what you have to spend is the maintenance fee.
HERE ARE THE NUMBERS:
$200 USD a night (in a decent resort) x 6 nights = $1200 USD
Maintenance fee in a NICE RESORT x 6 nights = $700
*Maintenance is a "decent resort" x 6 nights = $400
You do your numbers.

I feel really screwed up right now and I don't know what to do!?

So, I go back to school the day after tomorrow (I know, a little late) and I will be in eighth grade. My school is relatively small (300 kids) and my grade only has 33. I am the only girl not in one of the two girl groups. I hang out with the boys, and I spend our recess time with the boys, and to the boys, I am one of them (Except for the fact that they watch their mouths around me cause I will smack them if they say anything bad). I have always been a different person, with different interests, and different feelings towards things. While they shop at Abercrombie and Hollister, I shop at AE and Aero. For instance, the girls are obsessing over new clothes, I am obsessing over my new horse grooming brushes. I mean, I have friends in the two girl groups, but I know that the rest of the group thinks of me as weird. They get mad at me because I am smart, and because I excel at everything I do. I'm special. However, I am sure you know that being a middle school girl is a lot harder then you would think. I don't live in the city, and all the girls in my grade do, besides one or two. This means that they get into things at really young ages, and I am sure that they have matured in a way much different then how I have matured. I know you guys will probably say that they are missing out on not being friends with me (As I can be civil to everyone, and know how to control what I say), but I feel like I will be even more of an outsider this year. My mother, and my doctor, and my piano teacher all say that I am a very mature person, and that I am handling my situation quite well. I just hate it, I am always the odd one out, and while I love my friends and don't particularly like those girls, and even though it is my last year at this school, I am just feeling really bad, and really scared. Help please! I need a morale boost!
And, to those of you who say that I sound full of myself, it is true. I am my piano teacher's most advanced student, one of the top students in all my classes, I have done quite well with my horseback riding, and I am very dedicated to following my dreams. This is what people have told me, and I just wish that they could accept me for who I am, and not the clothes I wear.

Quit worrying so much! I know it might not seem this way, but you are not alone, most teenagers, (yes, even the popular ones) feel the way you do at some point.
Just tough it out. You only have one more school year at your school, and that is what, six or seven months? I think part of the problem is that your school is so small. There is not much diversity in a school that small, so when people are exposed to someone who is even just a little bit different, they feel threatened by it.
As for who wears what brands of clothes, that is such a trivial thing to worry about. Even though the other girls wear more expensive clothing brands than you do, you should know that the brands you wear are also expensive, and not all that many people can afford such luxuries. (I know I can't, I shop at Kohl's and resale shops, which by the way, you could find gently used Hollister and Abercrombie for a fraction of the cost, see if there is a Plato's Closet in your area).
You should just be content with knowing that you are more mature and have better things to worry about than who wears what, and that you are an intelligent, hard-working, mature girl. Also, if you know these girls are immature enough to exclude you because of what you wear or because they are jealous of you, then why would you want to be friends with them? It doesn't sound to me like they would make for very good friends.
But on the other hand, have you ever considered that you might come off as a know-it-all or a snob? I'm not saying that you seem that way, but some people who are aware that they are more intelligent than their peers act that way towards people that they perceive to be less intelligent than they are.
Anyway, don't worry about it. Although it might not seem like it now, but in a few years you will look back, laugh, and wonder why you were feeling so strongly about something like this. Just keep up, your hard work and you will be rewarded for it. Unlike those girls, you realize that school is not just a place for socializing, but a place to start building your future, which you are doing a good job of. Keep up the good work!
