<p>Okay don't read this if you're not in the mood for some long and lengthy complaining...sorry guys, I really need to vent :(</p>
<p>So there's this Asian girl at my school and we've been "competitive" for like the past 3 years. We're both Chinese, have really high pressuring parents, etc etc. A while ago, I took the SATs and scored nearly perfect, and ever since then she's been really jealous and underhanded and mean to me--not blatantly, you know, but just subtle things here and there.</p>
<p>She originally said that she wanted to go to USC because it was cheaper than the Ivies, she liked LA, etc etc. And she's known for years that I've wanted to go to Yale. Now suddenly she's telling EVERYONE that Yale is her dream school, blah blah blah. She tries to edge me out in everything, and puts on this cover of, "Oh I know I'm not going to get in anywhere" when realistically, she's just fishing for compliments about herself.</p>
<p>GAH I am soooo sick of it. I can't wait to get out of here, into a college, and AWAY from all this high school drama!!!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>Let all the anger build right now. Wait a couple of years until she is married and is about to have a child. The second she has the baby, storm into the emergency room and eat it.</p>
<p>Actually, wait until she’s had the baby, raised it as a child, and nurtured it throughout its K-12 education. Then, on the day of its high school graduation, storm into the graduation ceremony and eat it.</p>
<p>loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooool. i just started laughing really really loudly in a public library and people gave me “***” looks XD
love you all so much. thanks for the support and erm…“advice” ;)</p>
<p>I know the feeling how annoying when people do that! Don’t tell her how well you’re doing and say youre aiming for community colleges. Chances are she will stop competing or copy you.</p>
<p>@ Pinkstarcloud: Thanks, that’s actually a really really good idea I think I’ll do that and let her keep shooting her mouth off.
Again, thanks to everyone for being there when I needed some comfort, even if you all are technically random strangers… muchos gracias :)</p>
<p>You’ll be free from high school drama soon. Into a world of college drama. You thought one competitive student was bad… wait till every shark is in the same pond…</p>
<p>Well… it’s not right just to criticize your competitor for the heck of it. Be a good sport, know that she may just be trying to play it cool, people change their intended colleges over the years, and that you may come across the same way to her.</p>
<p>@ Gryffon: No you’re definitely right, it’s just that it comes across as too much sometimes…and I (and a lot of other people) probably do that too, it’s just…sometimes, like today, things go over the top
I think college will be more relaxed no matter what. For one, the parental pressure is lowered- a lot…and not everyone is really “competing” for the exact same thing anymore…</p>
<p>^ lol… the parental pressure would definitely be lowered. </p>
<p>That’s why I love being a big fish in a really small pond. No one came close to matching my weighted GPA by two deciles. In a school with 2000 people… and I got my share of B’s. :)</p>
I think I’ll do that and let her keep shooting her mouth off.
