ok, so my best friend..is kinda starting to get on my nerves. idk but like, all she gets is straight A's on her report cards, 100's on tests, A+'s on projects. and i do well in school too, but it's starting to bug me. because its like, she'll get her test back, and get a higher grade than me, and its like she ALWAYS does better than me. for example: we just had to do a project for social studies, and i had to do a summary. so i typed it up and everything. i was talking to her online later and she told me to send it to her so she could read it. she told me that i had mistakes, 2 MISTAKES. so she said she was going to fix them and print it out, while i had already printed it out. so i was like okay whatever. next day in school, she shows me what she printed out, its like all fancy, cover page, border, word art and everything, while all i had was a title and the paragraphs. so i pretty much wasted my time typing it up. like everything she does has to be perfect. and i know i'm not perfect but ughh its so annoying, bcuz like everything i do, she has to do better. also on an english project, we just had to write the paragraph on the paper the teacher gave us, SHE re-typed it. so should i like confront her about this, or just leave things the way they are? i don't want to start anything, she's a really good friend. but this is just starting to bug me. thanks in advance<3

Teza answered Tuesday February 14 2006, 9:56 pm: It kind of seems like you guys have a competition on who gets better grades and such. If she's the type of person who likes things to be perfect then so what. There isn't anything wrong with it and since she is your best friend you need to tell her how you feel about this. It's not fair that you are keeping it all inside. You know that you tried your best on school work and you should be happy for her that she does well. Don't try to compete over this because it's pointless. You guys can help each other do well. If it's still bothering you, tell her and you will feel much better about it.
