<p>I'm friends with almost everyone. But my close friends are all either in drama, music, art, or GSA (with a few exceptions, like one girl who helped me pass Bio in 9th grade)</p>
<p>I have two groups of friends: other "high achievers," who I hang out with outside of school (a smaller group), and the friends I hang out with in school. They're smart but they don't try as hard. They're the ones I party with :)</p>
<p>wow. never really thought about it but most of my friends are equal to me. like were in all the same classes/clubs/sports. my best friend for like ever pretty much ditched me because she didnt get as good of grades as me. and now everytime i see her her and her new friend almost mock me for it.
sucks but whatever..
i think im friends with people who are the same as me because its easier to understand scheduling problems, or when your completely overwhelmed, plus were in a lot of the same classes together so its who i see</p>
<p>My friends are all in theatre or band. They have a huuuuuuge range of intelligence in terms of book smarts. As juniors, we range from taking pre-calc to taking integrated math.</p>
<p>Since I am on a sports team, I hang out with others from that team. None of my friends are in honors classes which is awesome. There isn't as much of a competitive atmosphere.</p>
<p>My closest friends are about as intelligent as I am, but significantly less fortunate.</p>

<p>How so?</p>
<p>I have a wide range of friends. I'm in all IB classes, but I try to interact with people outside of the IB program too, but all of my good friends are in IB.</p>
<p>But, but...what if you have no friends!? :(</p>
<p>aww, that would be sad, friedrice. it's okay, we are your friends on CC.</p>
<p>This is where I enjoy going to a non-competitive school. No one cares whether or not you're in AP courses, because we're all aiming for State Us (maybe a few will go to private schools. We all have the grades/extras/etc, we just want to go for State Us).</p>
<p>I'm friends with A LOT of different people. My "close" friends definitely aren't the honors-level, booksmart people. However, they are very intelligent. I'm a musician and I hang out with all the artsy/musical people in my grade.</p>
<p>I'm also in all the highest level classes, so I obviously have a lot of friends who are intelligent too.</p>
<p>Many of my friends aren't as overachieving as me, which my dad keeps reminding me as he thinks they will have a negative influence on me.</p>
<p>I usually hang out with people who have the same drive as me, which is, essentially the top 5% of my graduating class.</p>
<p>At high school I hung out with everyone. Those who were failing, those who were average, those who were booksmart, sports types...the thing was I was the val so there was no one statistically "above" me... :( I'm kind of a humble guy so I don't like to seem competitive (which one of the girls in my class was...I wasn't even competing, just doin my work normally and yet she tries so hard to try to beat me lol)</p>
<p>I have a variety of friends. Sometimes I really like hanging out with people at least as smart or smarter than me because then I don't feel bad for complaining about getting a B on a test and being obsessive about my grades. But when I don't feel like obssessing about schoolwork, tests and college I love hanging out with my less intelligent friends. I think it's important to have a good mix of friends, otherwise things can get boring.</p>
<p>I hang out with the math and science nerds (but at all illiterate in social studies or language arts). I'd like to think they're less intelligent, but that's probably just not true.</p>
<p>Typically my friends are the over-achievers, just because we tend to have the same classes. I have a few friends from way back that don't care for school, but they're still smart.</p>
<p>i hang out with less-smart kids. my best friend is the biggest stoner i've ever met, she smokes like 4 times a day. i hang out with older people (~21) too just because im at my brothers house a lot. so yeahhhh. its kind of annoying actually... because the only person that i really talk to thats of similar intelligence of me is my mom. =\ the "smart" kids around here tend to be ignorant and only book smart, they dont really pay attention to world issues or really know anything you could ahve a discussion about. so i dont like them.</p>
<p>It's just hard sometimes to hang out with "less intelligent" people because we're never in the same classes.
I basically hang out with people in the same classes as I'm in. And those are all honors/AP classes.</p>
