<p>But there are plenty of others I am sure in the same school who might be doing the same thing, same strategy but even different classes. So why worry about those girls? That can be your downfall, your competition for Valedictorian is not just for those classes, its for the whole class in the whole school. So if you want to harp about it I wouldn't be doing it with those girls, there can be dozens of others running after the same thing you are. </p>
<p>You are chosen as a valedictorian by the school for your achievements. Acheive well and you will do it. I dont think you are competing against robots, they are people just like you, just take them as competition and take them on, beat them and get straigh 99's in your classes and you will be guarenteed that Valedictorian spot. </p>
<p>Listen guys, it wasn't all about the pride and the same classes .. I even tried to convince one of my good friends to come into another AP class with me but he chickened out. I was so mad because, and I could see this coming, ever since then, she feels like I'm her only friend. She's become too clingy. And now that we take a class together, it's much much worse, than just being locker neighbors. (i never watned to be her locker neighbor, we were randomly assigned back in freshman year) Because now, she calls me every night, and she wants me to come to her house to do labs, and she wants me to be her study buddy, and even during lunch, she came and sat with me and my buds...and I hate her company. I hate it. So freakin much. I mean, I don't even try to be her friend. i dont know where she gets the ideas that i'm her friend and i suddenly want to do everythign with her since we got into this class. You guys, I was going insane, until I talked to someone else cuz this thread didnt seem to help. Everything about her bothers everyone, me especially probably because she clings to me, and I'm honestly not trying to be mean, or judge people, but there's a reason she doesn't have any other friends, okay. And I thought this might continue.. her trying to be like me, and doing everything with me for like .. the rest of high school. And at times, I just wanted to slap her, cuz she doesnt shut up and cant stop complaining and talkin about people, at lunch, at the locker, in the hallways, in the classroom and she's kinda emotional .. u just have to be her to know what I mean..and i just didnt want someone like that trying to follow me everywhere in life so i was concerned.</p>
<p>And you know what, you're right, valedictorian of your local high school doesn't mean much. And, I dont' wanna complain a lot, and I've probably already said too much, im already kinda regretting this thread but i had to explain the full picture better .. you guys gave good advice for the most part, so thanks for that, and I talked to other people around here and they told me to let her see a guidance counselor..so its been helping a bit, and I got some people to sit with her at lunch .. so it's movin along.</p>
<p>I don't get why they had to take all your classes specifically... were they the only classes that would guarantee them val status, or were they just trying to annoy you/get close to you?
don't worry about it sarorah, I have someone at my school who annoys me a lot too. It's not fair, but everything she does just drives me up the wall.;)</p>
<p>colin, she doesnt like you. Her schedule required her to crosss buildings 5 times. because she can't handle that, she went to the counselor and asked for a change. the reason she asked was because she wanted to see if she can go to a different period so she'll have a more relaxed school day. quit dreaming. that "pimpin" thing about not being a sychophant and making girls jealous aint gonna work in this case.</p>
<p>ranking in my high school is so stupid because mostly everyone in the top 5-10% of my class take the same aps and everyone can get a's easily in most of them, and then some like ap env (which is for some reason difficult in my school though its supposed to be one of the easiest) hardly give out a's. the only way to stand out therefore is to write some kind of exceptional essay or the like.</p>
