<p>There's this guy at my school who keeps bugging me about how he thinks he's so much smarter than me. My GPA is .6 points higher and my SAT is roughly 300 points higher, yet he keeps bugging the sh*it out of me. I could bluntly respond back that my academics on their own demonstrate that I'm better. However, he keeps responding back, saying "you just care about going to a great college too much." I know I'm clearly better than him, but what can I do to make him stop bothering me?</p>
<p>Just let him be. Who cares.</p>
<p>His attitude is the definition of jealousy. He probably feels the need to annoy you constantly because he is inferior to you in certain academic respects. If ignoring him doesn’t work, you could always tell him off or even threaten to take action or something, although I’m not sure how effective that would be.</p>
<p>If I were you, though, I wouldn’t give a dead moose’s last ***** about what he says.</p>
<p>I hate when people do that. 
There’s nothing really you can do to stop him, and it’s just a waste of your time and energy to try. Let him be… it doesn’t matter what he thinks, it just matters what the reality is.</p>
<p>Don’t resent people, see them for who they are. He probably had something lacking in his upbringing or mentality or self-esteem that causes him to act that way. At the very least, not responding with anger is the most important thing. You could try complimenting him on a small thing once, or at least refrain from vanity yourself. Who’s to say that you’re smarter than him or anyone else in your classes? Who’s to say the same about anyone else? If the poor soul does it to annoy you, he will stop if you are not annoyed.</p>
<p>If my advice didn’t help, I’m sorry. After 30 hours of no sleep, I begin taking on attitudes of the Buddha. I’m about 7 hours into that.</p>
<p>I’ll just laugh at him when I get into a better college than him.</p>
<p>there i a difference between book smarts and life smarts (also known as street smart, but I do not like that phrase).</p>
<p>Perhaps he is refering to the fact that he has more life smarts than you. If not,perhaps he is joking.</p>
<p>I wouldn’t pay him much mind. One thing I ask is not to take your academic success too much in stride. Better colleges != better person. Billy’s post has good insight. Sometimes intelligence can’t be defined by numerical value. But this kid’s reacting pretty silly.</p>
<p>I mean, Paula Deen is a very successful woman, but I’m sure she didn’t graduate from a high-tier university. Lol, probably not the best example. At least she makes good (albeit fattening) food. :b</p>
<p>Annoying people are a part of life .When you are in college ,there might be an annoying suite mate .At your first job ,there will be annoying people . You will be ahead of the game ,if you develop a coping strategy .My current strategy is to find something positive about these people ,something you genuinely like .Make an effort to get to know them a bit ,and maybe they will bother you less .</p>
<p>I would just tell him it bothers you and hope that all humans are not inherently jerks. Ignoring a problem doesn’t fix it.</p>

<p>Annoying . . . sure. But also irksome is he who thinks SAT scores and GPAs perfectly define who is more intelligent.</p>
<p>Try being nice to him, people aren’t always who they seem. xD</p>
