Are you bothered when your friends have better academic performances?

If they're doing better than me fair enough, it's just a eye opener that I need to try harder, but at the end of the day I'd be happy that they're doing well

No i don't care because school was crap. I mainly went to pass (i didn't care about levels and such) and to see friends..

Hahahah Yes I got jealous a lot too, but as long as you keep that green eyed monster to yourself I think a bit of jealousy is only human. I had a friend who was amazing at drawing, he always got A grades in art and product design. He was great. As for me, I've never been an over achiever or an under achiever - I'm average, so there is always people above and below me.

I didn't have any friends that I "competed" with as such, and I wasn't really bothered when people got higher grades because i knew i excelled in a different area than them.
but my (twin) sister pushed me along and made me work a bit harder, especially when we were younger that's for sure.

That's a truly impressive bump
