Friend's jealous of my good grades

 

Check these out, too...

  • 3 signs you need to give your study group the boot
  • I don't want to leave my friends behind when school ends
  • How not to pull an all-nighter (and stay sane if you have to)
  • Is there a way to flirt without being obvious?
I’ve been best friends with this girl practically forever. We were never in the same classes but, this year, we are in almost every class together. It’s great, except she gets really jealous whenever I get a good grade.

 

Dear Down With a Friend,

It’s tough having a jealous friend but, believe it or not, it’s also tough for her being the jealous one. Be sure you’re not boasting about your grades. If you are humble and she still holds your A’s against you, speak up. Say, “I wish you wouldn’t be mad about my grades. I could act jealous of your great singing voice or how well you shoot baskets, but I’m happy for you. Let’s support each other, OK?” 

 

Friendships often go through growing pains but, since you two are so tight, it’s worth working through this.

Hey amyrose99, yeah going to a public high school would probably be a great experience for you. You would get tbe in class experience, make new friends and go to dances. And if you don't like it you can always go back to being home schooled. Think about it girl. Xoxo

I'm in a HUGE sitch! I don't even know what I wat anymore!! I'm homeschooled, but I'm thinking about goin back to public school for high school... But I don't know if I should. I mean, yah, I MIGHT feel like I'm having the normal high school experience like various teachers, lot's or crushes and girl friends, but, even MORE friend-making would probably be the only reason I'd wanna go! Cuz it might be very difficult & full of pressure. Although, I think I MAY have what it takes to give a great Valedictorian speech! Oh, I don't know! What should I do? Lynae P.

It's a little early to be thinking about this, but im terrified of going to highschool, and I find myself dreading it more and more each passing day. I've been going to a private Catholic school for the past eight school years, and next year I'll be going to a public school. I won't know anyone and I tend to be really shy and awkward when it comes to making friends. Can you help calm my nerves?




Hey girl,

It's totally normal to be afraid of the unknown! The whole idea of the big "HIGH SCHOOL" is nerve-wracking, but luckily we have a few articles that I think will really help calm you down. Remember: there's no possible way to be 100% prepared for high school, but if you go in with a positive attitude and a commitment to making the most of it (by doing well in classes, meeting new people, trying new things like clubs and sports, etc.), you'll do amazingly <3

My friends think I talk too much. They don't say it, but I could tell. I don't think I talk too much, but apparently, someone does. What should I do?




Hey girly! It is okay to be chatty but make sure you are including others in the conversations and asking people about themselves and not making every conversation just about you.
