<p>So I've recently been chatting with this girl again. She and I were good friends in elementary school and now we go to different schools but we still talk occasionally. As in once like every two years. Anyway, she was talking to me about how I'm in high school and should live freely and not do homework all the time. Then I told her that I'm really buckling down in high school and that I want to work hard to get into a good school. </p>
<p>Then she told me "my sister is a big time partier. most popular girl in highschool all 4 iyears. never had a day off of having fun. she made time for school aside of her social life and got like 50 scolerships and is sooo smart. and only got 1 c in all of highschool. and got her entire college paid for." </p>
<p>In response I said something along the lines of how I could easily get good grades in high school and get into ASU. Then she told me I was being rude. And that her sister got a scholarship from Yale for an essay she wrote but chose to go to ASU to be near home. Which I know is not true because Yale doesn't give merit aid. So I told her that but she said "yes they do." But I just really didn't want to argue with her because she was my friend for a long time and I don't want any bad blood between us. So I congratulated her sister and diverted the conversation by asking what she's majoring in. </p>
<p>My feelings are kind of hurt because I wasn't trying to sound superior at all. But I know I'm right and I hate having to bite my tongue on this. So am I being rude?</p>
