Do you give your kids(teenagers) this things?

Okay I am struggling really bad today. My DD who is 15 about to turn 16 wants a car beacaue my older dd got a car for free from her deceased Grandfather. Hubbie also used to make an extremely comformtable living and that has changed due to the closing of this busimess. My kids havn't lacked they have gone to aruba each year since they were babies and a cruise and Disney. Well right now things are really tight and I can't give everything she wants like tanning booths which I don't agree with or sculpted nails and the clothes that are from all the expensive mall stores. She can't work because of her medical conditiona and this is taking an emotional toll on me. We live in a very nice house. Our cars aren't brand new but have been kept to look that way. Lately she just puts down everyyhing and compares us to everyone who has more. I tell her how about the homeless. This kid has been through so much medically but is being hostile to her siblings and us. Should I get her counseling maybe she has other issues that she just needs to talk to someone neutal about. She is a good student and doesn't drink do drugs. She hangs with a great group of girls but whatever we get her from cameras to tvs it's never good enough. I am just very depressed today and needed talk........I also try to tell her we have a college bill, braces, mortage etc but she's 15 and it doesn't penetrate. I wish I could give her everything she wants but isn't a good safe family enough. Ah maybe its just the crazy teenager years.
Do you give your teen daugher or son everything they want and if not do they whine?
