<p>I've been feeling this way for the past week. Ever since the Berkeley decisions came out, my friends haven't been talking to me and tell me to gtfo. No, I don't brag or talk about Berkeley at all...and a few people who GOT IN to Berkeley are not talking to me..</p>
<p>I haven't done anything to them or ****ed them off..this just started happening...</p>
<p>Whatever..it seems everybody gets jealous of me...and then someone in our school gets into freaking Harvard AND stanford...and everyone loves him. ***</p>
<p>Oh, and the guy who did get in..he brags a lot...so idk what the deal is with people. Just 2 more months, and I'm free...hopefully..unless people in college act like this.</p>
<p>Some kids are real jerks though. We all know them. The kids who don’t share their notes and never tell their grades but have to know your grades. Probably just jealousy and competition. Keep your head high. Haters gon’ hate.</p>
<p>But if everyone is treating you that way, you should reflect on yourself and why they would have a reason to hate you.</p>
<p>Ok, let me rephrase. Not everyone I guess, but a few…maybe like 2-3 people are doing this. And idk maybe it isn’t Berkeley, but the timing of their actions would make me assume that it is Berkeley.</p>
<p>And yeah, those people are real jerks. </p>
<p>There is this one kid in my school, who EVERYONE thinks is smart. Everyone believes that person got into incredibly top schools (stuff like Yale, Princeton, etc…) and that he is in the top 1% or something. The other day, I found out that none of that is true, and probably all of it is just bs that person started telling everyone. And my counselor showed me a list of who was in the top 1%, because I wanted to know my rank, and that person’s name was not on there…</p>
<p>Strange. Anwyay, I don’t really care about that. I guess that person is nice but just lies or something to get in people’s good books…</p>
<p>And I didn’t do anything to them…I’m always nice with them, helping them if they need it or sharing my lunch (if i buy it at school) if they are hungry…I’m going to stop all of this. I think I’ve been too nice.</p>
<p>Also, I think one of them thinks I’m an idiot and doesn’t deserve to get into Berkeley…</p>
<p>Yeah, be nice. But be reasonable first and foremost. </p>
<p>Don’t get caught up with that kid who tells everyone he’s so great. The truth will get out and he won’t be so great anymore.</p>
<p>Why do you care so much about what other people think? It’s important to have friends that support you, but you can never make everyone happy. Even if you’ve got the best friends and treat everyone nicely, there will always be people who will hate you because you have friends or whatever. </p>
<p>And plus, like Wartsandall said, it’s only two more months. If you can find a reason why they don’t treat you right, set the record straight. If it is a fault in your personality, work on it because it will become a problem everywhere you go. But keep in mind, there are always people who don’t cooperate and will hate because they aren’t up to your level.</p>
<p>I would consider giving your “friends” some space and time to cool off.
Having a positive attitude always helps. Put a smile on your face, and don’t let it fade.
If you think you’re happy for long enough, you might actually become happy.</p>
<p>Your school sounds like it’s full of idiots.</p>
<p>ANYWAY</p>
<p>To answer the title question - no, not really. However, I do sometimes feel like one of those characters in TV shows who are well-liked and not just peripheral, but only there because of their weird/exaggerated personality characteristics, not because their interactions with other people actually matter in a meaningful way. But just sometimes.</p>
<p>Those kids sound like the type of kids who brag about being in “Honors” Chemistry, and "Honors English, and get Bs or Cs in them. They go around the whole school acting as if they’re geniuses and do things that make people hate them, like actually peer grading papers or gossiping about kids who are actually smart and calling them nerds. They’re probably bigots.</p>
<p>Am I correct? I hate those kids.</p>
<p>Just be nice to them until the year ends, and then if they’re still acting like this, subtly pass them a note that says “LOL. I GOT INTO BERKELEY.”</p>
<p>LOL A similar thing happened when I was the only one from our school who got into Duke. The Mrs. Popular ASB President got rejected from all the reaches she applied to—including her second choice, Duke.
She and a band of her followers wouldn’t talk to me and would sneakily gossip around.</p>
