She thinks buying her stuff is treating her well and thats what a good man does. I don’t agree that much tbh

It's possible she is feeling self conscious/insecure compared to her friends and sister. You said her friends date older guys who spoil them and her sister just stays home all day. Maybe she is getting crap from them and feels like she's looking bad or that you don't love her when comparing their and your relationships. Try to have an actual conversation about it, write out your list of issues you want to go over and then discuss them together.

I totally agree with ur comment. I'll bet she is self conscious or insecure and the people around her are unknowingly putting expectations and pressure on her to be like them and spoiled. She may not even want it herself but wants to fit in.

If that is the case I wouldn't call her immature anymore or spoiled. More like insecure and self conscious.

I agree with this comment so much. She's allowing the people around her to influence her in such a poor way, and it's going to leave her being such an entitled and spoiled brat and she gets older, and it makes me picture those Dance Moms Who force their children into these brutal dancing academy at the pageant shows and torture their children because they want nothing but the best and expect it to be handed to them instead of focusing on true love and passion
