My AP US History grade is alienating me?

<p><em>So, I'm not trying to have this post come off as self absorbed or self righteous</em></p>

<p>I'm considered the "star student" of my AP US History class, and while everyone's chapter notes are 5 pages written, my notes can exceed 20 pages. When everyone fails a test, I receive a 110%. Subsequently, that makes the average grade in my class a 70%, while my current grade is 108%, and this upsets some people. 2 girls in particular.</p>

<p>These 2 girls despise me. Like, literally abhor my presence, simply because I have a high grade in AP US History (now if only the same could be said for my Math grade... sigh). Their rationale for all this hatred is that I am;</p>

<p>1) "annoying" since I over achieve so much.
2) "braggish" Yes, she used that word, because when I'm having a conversation with my friends about grades, and someone asks me what my average is, I say "108". Not "108 BRAH GET AT ME, APUSH GANG FOR LIFE."</p>

<p>This hatred towards me has escalated to the point that they are bothered when I sit at the same table as them at lunch, which is difficult to avoid because me and these two individuals share quite a few mutual friends.</p>

<p>All of my closest friends say that they're just insane, but it's starting to worry me. Some of my friends are telling me to avoid them, some are telling me to spite them and rub my grade even further in their face.</p>

<p>Eh? What shall I do?</p>

<p>Avoid them, they’re jelly.</p>

<p>You can always lie about your grades so they don’t think you’re a brainiac :P</p>

<p>Yea, but what am I supposed to tell them, that I’m failing APUSH? Knowing them, they’ll probably use that against me and start telling other people, at least now when they know I have a 108, they stay shut up, but they’re the type of people who would find out I had an imaginary 70 and spread it like wildfire.</p>

<p>Grades are pretty juicy gossip amongst my social circle. It’s rather sad.</p>

<p>Kinda Sorta had/have the same problem. </p>

<p>There will always be “hataz” hating on overachievers (which is what you are, but it’s a compliment). Just be cordial with them, and one day they’ll realize what fools they have made out of themselves.</p>

<p>EDIT: Actually, try to be more then cordial. Say hello, how are you doing. Show that you can engage them, but don’t really hold much weight in what they are saying/doing.</p>

<p>APUSH gang for life hahahahaha </p>

<p>They seem really mature. just be nice to them. If they care that much, that’s just sad. Hopefully they’ll get over it…</p>

<p>They<code>re just having a case of jealousy on you since you can</code>t avoid them, taken that you guys have similar friends and rubbing it in their faces will not help at all, it will worsen your case and they will most likely hold more grudges to you then try to make amends with you. What I recommend is that you just ignore them and go on with your business, even if what they are saying hurts you don`t let that take affect to you. They might just be out to get attention and are just envying you.</p>

<p>One girl, we’ll call her W - is just so incessant about talking about me to other people that I fear she might kill me in my sleep. She literally will not go a single day without ranting to someone about how I’m the antichrist and my thorough notes are downright sinful. </p>

<p>The irony is that she feels everyone agrees with her, but not a single person cares, nor do they like her anyways.</p>

<p>I have a 91 REPRESENT.</p>

<p>Can I put the extra eight points on my grade from last year? It won’t help you…but I’ll have gotten an A! :)</p>

<p>The best thing you can do for now is ignore them i had a friend who had a similar problem like you only it was something really stupid. For one day she did not sit with this girl for lunch and she thought my friend was laughing at her after that she hated her till this day and keeps talking crap about her, of course all my friends can do right now is ignore her.</p>

<p>I meant something like a 95-96 range. A believable score, considering you’re smart, that’s not out of the ordinary. That’s what I do all the time at my school when people ask for my SAT score, I’m like “uhhhhhh 2100 lololol”. Just say that you missed a homework or bombed a quiz and you dropped ten points or something of the sort.</p>

<p>You could always do what I do and not turn in outlines. With my 100% on test and 0% in outlines, mine averages out to a nice 90%. If your grade gets too low, just turn in an outline or two so it will raise it.</p>

<p>They’re just jealous. Great job on your grade. Just continue to do well. I don’t reccomend rubbing it in their faces. Just don’t talk to them, ignore them.</p>

<p>Jealousy and girls in high schools go hand in hand. Just ignore them, and they’ll find the next scapegoat for their problems.</p>

<p>btw, I’m using “APUSH GANG FOR LIFE” in my apush class tm. too classic.</p>

<p>APUSH Gang for life, I’m stealing that rofl.</p>

<p>They must just envy you, and probably are angry they can’t do better.</p>

<p>And a brief lecture:
Envy-emotion towards one who has a quality that you don’t have
Jealousy-fear of losing your own quality to someone else</p>

<p>Why do you even talk about your grades with other people?</p>

<p>20 pages?! I don’t understand how that’s possible. </p>

<p>Anyway, tell them to go F themselves. Especially with the lunch situation.</p>

<p>LOL i have a C in that class T__T all As and high Bs, and then a blemish C in APUSH :(</p>

<p>Apush gang for life get at me Breh </p>

<p>LMAOOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOoOo</p>
