honors and AP?
okay, i took my first ap class this year (european history) and i couldn't really perform well on the test and finally decided ap wasn't for me. the thing is, my friends (group) have always been in the same class as me and for next year, i chose only one ap class while most of them chose four or five (even though some cant even handle it..they just want to be able to show off about it). i chose my classes to my strength and ability..im in all honors. but now i feel like im gonna be disconnected from everyone else..because they have harder classes. i feel like they're going to be smarter than me..and they're going to grow away from me...and organize their group so i'm not in it. i WILL have some friends who wont be taking aps either, don't get me wrong..but i feel so bad. i dunno why.
am i worried for nothing? cause i KNOW i CANT do more than one ap class.
thank you

honestly, don't worry.
I am the friend that takes all of those AP & honors classes even though i have a majority of friends who don't -- it makes no difference. even if you are in the class together you aren't in there to socialize and plan hang outs, you are there to learn the material. plus, if you're friends are honestly like that where they would leave you just because you weren't in their class then its not worth the effort. besides, i think that catering to your strengths is the best way to go -- especially if you enjoy it. it only makes sense!
sooo basically, you are worried for nothing. i don't consider myself particularly smarter than my friends because i take/took AP classes. we all have our strengths, and for some people taking all AP classes just isn't the right idea.
and ps. you are smart for not trying to take on more than you can handle in order to be in their classes. In the big picture, you wont be nearly as stressed out and you will be able to focus and generally do better overall. its called logic & congratulations, you have it :p

listen it doesnt matter what your friends do you dont have to follow what they do. if you arent ready for those classes then dont take them. this is your future that your dealing with not theirs. If they was to disconnect from you for something as stupid as that let them because they arent your true friends, but if they dont then all will be fine. All is I can say is dont be like someone else its your futre not theres take the classes that you want to or you need.
