<p>I'm sure most of the kids on this website are in the top 10% of their class. Anyways, I took spanish regular 1 and 2 in 8th grade and the summer before 9th grade. It has pulled down my GPA so that I'm at a disadvantage. so this year, I'm a sophomore, I am taking the maximum number of APs I'm allowed by the school. There is this one kid (actually multiple) who just loves to copy me and tried to copy my exact schedule except I have spanish 3 and he doesn't. It's just really annoying and I've actually found myself become really rude to people at school, especially people who are in a lot of the same classes as me. I know it's not their fault that they ended up with the same schedule, maybe they just want to be valedictorian really badly etc, etc. However, I find myself always making snide remarks to people and just generally being in a bad mood whenever someone says something wrong. I seriously need help I'm sure there are other people on here who know of smart wannabes who are super tryhards but really don't know anything, is there any advice on how to deal with them? (Sorry for my rant I'm just so tired of the constant BS at school)</p>
<p>to be honest, you sound like one of them</p>
<p>they have the same schedule as you probably because it’s the highest one available and they are doing it for the same reason that you are (except they aren’t complaining about it)</p>
<p>just do better than them and stop complaining, it’s not like you invented the idea of taking a maxed-out schedule.</p>
<p>i hope this is a ■■■■■ post </p>
<p>@foolish Yes, thank you I know that I complain a lot my mom always tells me I’m the problem it just helps to know other than my mom someone will just come right out and say it to me. I feel like when I complain no one will tell me I’m the problem So thank you. bTW do you have any tips on how to be more positive I feel like a cloud of negativity at school?</p>
<p>im not in the top 10% of my class so the entirety of that post offended me greatly.</p>
<p>I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch them is my real test
To train them is my cause</p>
<p>@Yakisoba =D> </p>
<p>This made me laugh</p>
<p>…is it bad if the first thing that popped in my head is the Spice Girls song?</p>
<p>Seriously, OP, in the words Frozen made famous, let it go. Do your best, stop whining, and (if I may be frank) GET OVER YOURSELF. You’re not the only smart person in your school, so quit being a jerk to the other smart kids; if you do, you might find out that <em>le gasp</em> they KNOW something. Shocking, isn’t it? </p>
<p>And by the way, not EVERYONE on here is in the top 10% of their class. To quote: “If you assume, you make an ass out of you and me.” So please stop with the assumptions while you’re at it.</p>
<p>Thank you soxoxoxoxoxososososo much everyone your advice is so substantial and give me new life. I love how people take things personally it makes me realize so much how much of a jerk I am. Thanks so much I now have a new view on life and will become one with nature.</p>
<p>lol this is actually kind of funny… But I guess it’s good that willing to changing your ways; admittance is the first step to improvement. I hope this gave you a reality check!</p>
<p>Usually the people who think they’re the smartest are lacking in other areas. </p>
<p>Sincerely,
The other 90%</p>
<p>No, but really OP, just know that by thinking like that, you’re really just hurting yourself.</p>
<p>I know people like you OP. I deal with them at school, I know they find it annoying that others who they think less of intellectually are in the same classes as them. This is all I can tell you:
You. Are. Not. Better. Than. Them
We are all =
you = them
not
You > them
Just keep that concept in your mind. </p>
<p>Thank you I got the point there is no need to keep criticizing me, I never said I thought that I was Better than them and I understand that I think I’m smart is there a problem that I think I have intelligence. I never thought I was super smart I’m just saying some people just really annoy me and I wanted constructive criticism not just we are the other 90%. Thanks for just criticiZing me without any advice really seriously you need to realize just because you are on a website and hiding behind a screen name doesn’t give you the right to be so rude. I can take the heat but other people really can’t handle criticism like this and it’s not nice to do that, I am a person too, I have feelings too.</p>
<p>If you thought that was rude then you clearly haven’t been on the true internet</p>
<p>The other “smart kids” at your school are not the enemy/competition. Its a big world out there - and in the long game (goal of a happy and “successful” life) these kids should be your allies. You will get a lot farther by finding common ground and collaborating than by trying to one-up a classmate in the schedule or other game. Let go of the need to compare yourself and instead try to form a coalition.</p>
<p>Well it hurts mine and others people’s feelings too when we have the “smarter” students look down on us. And I gave you advice, not criticism. That was to continuely keep the concept that everyone around you are the same imperfect human being as you are. Then you would start to understand that everyone is equal and you will being to mind your own business. I guess you couldn’t tell from my tone since it is only the internet. But if I were to be face to face with you in real life (and not with my computer screen in front of me) I would say that same exact thing. </p>
<p>Also, OP, I might be considered one of the ‘smarter’ kids at my school, but there are plenty of kids who aren’t naturally good at school who work hard and do better than me.
In conclusion, you’re being a jerk. </p>
<p>Guys I get it I AM JERK I did not mean to hurt anyone’s feelings but everyone just continues to attack and barrage me I get it guys idk how many countless times I need to be told. Before you call other people a jerk for ‘at least considering myself smart because my school isn’t really the smartest’ check out yourself. How would you feel being called a jerk 10 times. Thanks guys I was not meaning to look down upon anyone’s feelings in fact I NEVER said that and that had nothing to do with this post AT ALL. Please get your facts straight before you start coming at me and I said I’m sure “most” I didn’t say all, there are tons of kids I’m sure who aren’t but most people on here are at least of decent intelligence is what I meant to say. Sorry if I hurt your feelings but there was seriously no reason to attack me personally I didn’t attack anyone else personally and I would like the same amount of respect. Thank you</p>
<p>You title the post “wannabes” referring a bunch of people who work hard but you don’t find as intelligent as yourself and you don’t see that as looking down on others?</p>
<p>You posted on a public forum. Therefore everybody has the right to read what you say and share their feelings about it and criticize it and yes they can even personally attack you.</p>
