Am I Wrong?

[chantellehugs]

Alright so me and my friends applied to grammar schools earlier in the year and because my school messed up my target grades when I sent off my application form I never got placed on the waiting list and was therefore denied a place. So yesterday we get our GCSE results and I get 8 A's and 7 B's and my friend tells me to apply again to the grammar school I got rejected from because I've beaten all of my targets and got the necessary grades. So I have to reapply and my friend just has to tell the school her grades because she was on the waiting list. So I get a call later in the evening saying I haven't got a place as it's oversubscribed, and my friend keeps talking about all of the exciting things she'll get to do at the school, I'm completely happy for her because she worked really hard but I just don't feel like discussing it. I feel so crappy at the moment because all of my friends are going off to their nice grammar schools and I'm stuck in college, even though I worked my butt off day and night to get my GCSE's.

Am I wrong to not want to hear her talk about all the exciting things? I'm happy for her but it just keeps reminding me of it all.

If it helps I hated sixth form, I find college more enjoyable

I would feel the same really, there was this girl who was boasting about how she got onto some high course at college (Mostly because she but sniffed the tutors) and she was just going around and talking to everyone about it, and I could tell no-one else wanted to hear about it.

**** man, I'd dream of just grabbing her head and volleying it.
Explain to her that it's a tender spot because for you, the now you don't have the same feeling or excitement for what you face. If she continues possibly interject that you feel maybe she should respect your feelings more and keep in mind you done better than her?

Personally I'd just a complaint in, it's not your fault and extremely unfair?
I feel terrible for you

Just tell her that you dont really feel like talking about it.

If its any conciliation college, well my college was awesome and two of my friends move from grammar schools to college cause in reality it actually wasn't that good and a lot of people were failing there :/

Just ignore her if you do have to feel that way.

I would really fight to get into the school, its no suprise the grammar school is oversubscribed because they are a thousand times better than normal comprehensives which we are all forced to attend (myself included).

not really, where i am the people in gramar schools are getting the same grades as people in the school i go to. we have better facilities and there's generally nothing wrong but the people.
surely if she's only on the waiting list she hasn't gotten in yet? the awkward moment where she doesn't actually get the place...

To be fair it's the same with results, mine aren't great and it pissed me off whenever someone's like YEAH I GOT SIX A STARS AND FIVE A S AND ONE B BUT I MIGHT RESIT THE B BECAUSE IT'S RUBBISH

I'm like, woah. I would've killed for one A*, let alone six, and you're worried about resitting a B!? -.- /rantover

but yeah just tell her that you don't like it
