Ask Lucky: My Friend is Fierce About Grades
![](http://images.girlslife.com/posts/009/9503/school-competition-teen-gir.jpg)
Dear Lucky,
My friend is competitive over grades. If I do better, she gets sulky.
But if she does better, she acts all thrilled.
Aaarrggh!
Uh, yeah, that’s annoying. No one likes a friend to constantly compare grades and gloat when she’s done better—what a downer!
The next time your friend asks what you got on a math test or English essay, tell her you’ve decided not to share your grades anymore. Explain that school is not a contest—you’re only trying to achieve your personal best. Hopefully, she’ll respect that.
