JUST ASK
Hi, I’m Daniel, a writer from the US. Here, I team up with a reader of your age to help solve your problems.
Q:
Whenever I get better grades than my friend, he treats me coldly and even quarrels with me. Now we are more and more distant(疏远的)from each other. What should I do?
—Steven
A1:
Dear Steven,
I understand your feelings. You just did your best at school, but now you are suffering(受苦)because of it. Maybe your friend is envious(嫉妒的). Or maybe his parents compare him to you, which makes him feel upset.
Or maybe it’s you. Perhaps, when you talk about your grades, you sound snobbish(恃才傲物的).
Now I am in my thirties. Here’s my rule: If a friend makes less money than I do, I don’t talk about it. If someone makes more money than I do, I don’t talk about it. Money is everybody’s private information.
Guess what else is private information? Your school grades. So keep them to yourself. If someone asks you about it, just say, “I need to keep working.”
Keep your friends close and your exam scores closer.
—Daniel
A2:
Dear Steven,
I have a friend just like yours. She always treated me coldly after she knew I got a higher score than her. What I did was just comforting her. Everyone wants to be the best, and it’s normal to be upset when she doesn’t achieve her goals.
I think you can study together with your friend so that you can make progress together. It’s not only good for your study, but for your friendship as well.
