I'm 15 yrs old and a junior. Let's say my friends name is Sarah. We weren't really friend during high school or grade school because we were never classmates but this junior year we became classmates and we started talking and next thing I know she shares her secrets with me. Secrets that even her best friends don't know. We can relate with each other so much.
But the thing is before we became friends I was in the Honor Roll and I would get great grades. Don't get me wrong though I still get good grades but compare my grades to her this year…her grades are better. But the time when we weren't friends she wasn't in the Honor Roll. But the thing is, she told me that she only got good grades this year, the year we became friends. It's like she's better than me in every subject. She's kind of perfect in my eyes.
So this year I'm scared that she'll knock me out of the Honor Roll and I really don't want that to happen. But if ever that happens I feel like she truly deserves to be in Honor Roll.
I know it's really bad for me to say this but I really need help to cope with my my feeling towards her. I really can't help but feel jealous! I hate feeling this way and I really want to be happy gor her. But how can I be truly happy for her but deep down feel jealous of her?

Why don't you both study together, help each other and make it a friendly competition.

There's going to be plenty of times in your life when someone does something better,but learning how to cope with that is key to learning about life.

Think of it this way,you were the positive trigger for your friend to achieve,that's a great quality in a person,helping someone feel good about themselves.

You should feel proud of yourself.

As I said,get your two heads together and become a great team that everyone talks about.

Redhead35 had a great idea. Work together so both of you can be on the honor roll.

Competition is always a good thing, but not jealousy is not. Why should you be jealous? She's your friend so she's on your side! You can always be competitive when it comes to grades :) that way both of you get motivated.
