How to get respect even if you don't have money
...

Respect from others is nothing if you don't feel it inside yourself.

Spend time with people who really care about you.
Don't ever allow yourself to be "used".
Never allow anyone to treat you like a doormat.
Always be careful who you let into your life, make sure they are the right people!

The bottom line is respect is earned, not given. Now, it's up to you to put those lessons into action.

Treat other people the way they want to be treated rather than the way you want to be treated.
Although well intentioned, the Golden Rule principle falls short. The Golden Rule suggests that we “treat others the way we want to be treated.” A better approach is to “treat others the way they want to be treated.” This is called the Platinum Rule, and it considers that when dealing with other people, it is best to try to make it about them. Focus on what they need and what they care about to the extent possible.
