You said this:
Truth is, theres ALWAYS going to be girls like her. And they ALWAYS end up in bad situations later in life because they wasted their school time thinking about "cute clothes" instead of their schoolwork.
I am one of those "girls like her" except I get really good grades. The thing is, no one thinks I'm capable of it. When people found out I had a 4.0 GPA and got the highest grade on the math exam in the grade, they started to get SO jealous. I always try to hide my grades because people are just plain jealous.
I KNOW there's tons of people who are better off and worse off, but how do I let people know I may be smart/pretty (stereotypically anyways) but that DOESN'T matter. I have soo much drama in my life because of this.
Thanks
I'm 15/f

Well, at first I thought you were just criticizing my answer. But, you did point out something important. I wasn't right to say "They ALWAYS end up in bad situations later in life." However, I was being very general. Or you should re-evaluate what I said. Are you SURE youre like the girls I mentioned? Im not so sure, from how you described yourself. You said you have a 4.0 GPA so obviously you're extremely smart. I love cute clothes - and honestly, I think I probably spend too much time on my looks rather than homework and studying. :] Some people can do both, though. So, obviously you proved me wrong! I think I was referring to girls who are WAY out of the top. Girls who cheat off of everyone, never do homework, never try in class and want to be a rich, trophy wife rather than anything academic and worthwhile. I dont think you really are like the girls I mentioned.
To answer your question, who cares what other people know about you? Lots of pretty people have to face being stereotyped. Its because theyre JEALOUS of you. You have to realize people are always going to be jealous, its a never ending cycle. High school is only 4 years. Its all very competitive and hormones are raging. But, if you are a genuinely nice person - even to the jealous people! - they will eventually learn from you and be nice, too. [ xomichelle891xo's advice column | Ask xomichelle891xo A Question ]
