Question Posted Saturday December 10 2005, 7:51 pm
I'm 13/f in the 7th grade. There's this girl in my grade, and we'll call her "Chloe." Chloe is like the model student. The typical child prodigy/intellectual. She gets straight A pluses in everything. Even in choir, she gets all the solos because teachers like her so much. What the frick!!! I've been trained in singing since I was 7, have a lot of vocal technique, I think I have a good voice (not to sound like I have an ego or anything), I'm in a very advanced choir outside of school, and I've never received a solo. I have been doing very poorly is school recently, mainly because of my problems on staying focused and my awful organization. I got a D+ in math, B- in History, A- in English, C in Science and B- in Spanish. This is the second quarter now. My math and history grades improved, my Science dropped, Spanish dropped and English dropped, just because I don't take notes and I can't write a beginning of a story in 15 minutes, even though my pieces were published at Stanford. I don't get credit for anything anymore, but that Chloe does. She's very very smart, but not smarter than me. Now, this guy I've liked for ages likes her (he said to to me face-to-face, not knowing that I like him), and that's just the last straw. I hate her!!! I know this sounds like a psycho hose beast talking, but I can't help it. She's a nice girl. And I feel guilty because I hate her so much. Can anyone help me???

For one thing, as far as your grades go, work on your grades, not on how much you hate Chloe for getting good grades. And as far as choir goes, maybe it's because she participates or gets noticed more. Here's a hint, get good grades, be active in class, and also talk to the teacher about what you can do for extra credit and then you get noticed by the teacher. So, chill out about the solos. And I want you to read what you just wrote about why you get bad grades. I hear problems, I don't hear solutions. You know you have problems with organization. Start making goals. Start keeping things in folders designated to certain subjects. Now, as far as the guy thing goes, don't blame her for that. You didn't open your mouth and tell him you liked him. Until you do, it's your fault. Now I see a lot of your issues being placed on her. I'm afraid you just need a wake up call and realize it's not her fault for the problems in YOUR life. She's not intentionally out to get you. I realize that it's hard getting over jealousy, I too am fighting it due to my ex getting together with this girl. I hate that girl. What I do is focus on my life and just let things go. I can't control her, but I can control what I do with my life. Now, realize you can consider me a bitch for this, but then all you'd be doing is running from reality again. Now, I am a "Chloe" if you will. I get straight A's and am a teacher's pet in both drama and debate. I've only been rejected by guys once in my life. I've pretty much gotten whomever I pursued. So, you hating her like this is kind of you hating me. Which is why I'm giving you this reality dose if you will. Now, I hope you start living your life and work on your problems, and just realize she's not out to get you. [ Drama_Secretary's advice column | Ask Drama_Secretary A Question ]

If she is known as the 'one that is good at everything' many people are going to hate her because you can say .. well they think that she's better than them. But don't hate her because of that. Give her a chance, maybe one day go up and talk to her. Sometimes people you judge are way different when you talk to them. She's probably a great girl, just go up to her and start a conversation and maybe you guys will become friends. Give her a chance, and don't hate her because of that. Hey, maybe if you guys become friends she can teach you some of that stuff ;) [ x0o_blondiie's advice column | Ask x0o_blondiie A Question ]
