How come my brother has a 4.0 and a free ride to college and my little 4 year old sister thats in preschool is above average and should be in kindergarden but I am not as smart as my brother. I have very little smarts. Im in the 9th grade and my brother is in the 10th. Could i be as smart as my brother if i put my all into it? And how come they are smart but im not.. I mean i get b's and c's but my brother gets straigh a's and he has since he was in the 5th grade.

Try finding something that you can excel in that your brother is not involved with. Try joining a girls' volleyball team or a softball league and work hard to be outstanding there. That way it will be obvious that you have some unique skills that he lacks.

Don't compare yourself to your other siblings. Getting B's and C's in school are not bad grades. You can find something that you really enjoy that you will excel at and it will be something that your other siblings will not be good at. You are a smart girl. Don't ever be ashamed of the fact that your grades aren't as good as your siblings. Do the best you can. That's all you can do. In the meantime, focus on the most important things in life and stay focused. Don't worry about your siblings and what they're doing. It's all about you. I hope this helps. Good luck.

I had the same problem, hon... but I think it was my fault because I was more "social" than "scholarly". I cared more about music, fashion, and friends! My sis got perfect grades and a scholarship to college, and I didn't. I got B's and C's but when I really tried I'd get A's. (I really should've tried more!)
B's and C's are not bad! If you have difficulty with some subjects, perhaps tutoring will help you sharpen your skills.
But above all, don't compare yourself - be proud of who you are. Not everyone is a "perfect" student. Just keep doing the best you can and don't be so hard on yourself!

That's like asking, why is he tall and I'm not or why does he have green eyes and I have brown eyes. It's all in the genes. If you give it your all and you get B's and C's, that's nothing to be ashamed off. Just do your best and stop comparing yourself to your siblings .... there's nothing you can do about it.
