i have a friend at school. on my midterm, in science i got an A and she got an A-. when i showed her, she started to jump up and down saying, " i got a better grade than you!" i just look at her crazy. she would do this to me every time she gets " a better grade".what i'm trying to ask is if she is jealous of me or something. last tuesday, i won the spelling bee, and she just rolled her eyes at me for trying to congradulate her on doing a good job. is she a good a good friend for me?

She is just insecure and uses your friendship to make herself feel better. I wouldn't necessarily cut her off, but I would also expand my circle of friends.
By the way, last time I checked, the scoring was 1) A+ 2) A 3) A- one step up from a B+. You actually did better than she did on your science midterm. Congratulations.

When people eat they seem to be very joyful.
Take your friend out to a good restaurant. As your eating your food, start questioning her about her action, but mostly in gentle manner let her know how disappointed you are because her behavior.Also assure her the importance of your friendship with her as you address your concern.
You may want to buy a small gift(s) something under $5.00 dollars and present it to her at the restaurant, and hopefully this would put end to her unruly actions. The each time you achieve something don't make an issue of it, but of course be very proud of your hard work.
If her behavior continues, step back and give her sometime, but if she don't show any respect toward you. Your friendship either has been put on hold or the friendship is gone.
My true advice for you is to put this matter into the hands of God.
I pray everything works out for you. I hope I help. God Bless and good luck.

I'm trying to understand something. If you received an A in your science mid-term and your friend got an A-(minus), how does she figure she got a better grade than you?
I could be wrong, but she sounds envious of you when you get a better grade or do better than her on something. I'm not sure if she puts you down verbally, but if she does, then she's not a good friend for you.

It sounds like to me that she is one of those competitive girls that don't like losing. To me it sounds like she loves winning and loves to rub it in peoples faces I personelly hate people like this cus they are showoffs. People like this hate losing cus then there not the star of attention. Basically to me she likes being the center of attention and hates it when she isn't. So yeah in a way she is jealous of u but only when she don't defeat u at something or anyone else in that matter. Is she a good freind for you? Thats something u need to decide. What I can tell u is her behavior is normal cus it only natural that u get bumed out if someone beats u at something your good at. The problem is she handles it by being snotty and rude rather then being good sports men about it. Sense she is your freind the proper way would of been to congradulate u for winning instaed she decided to be bitchy about it which isn't good freindship skills a true freind would of congradulated u. To me it sounds like she is a loud mouth thats my prediction. Its totally up to u though if u choose to stay freinds with her or not. That is something only u can decide

She might be jealous but ask her and see how she reacts if she answers really quick then she probably is and you might want to keep a couple feet between you if she has to think about for a while then she might be if shes not then she'll tell you exactly how she feels that way you guys can stay friends.

It seems that your friend is jealous of you. She doesnt know how to control herself but by comparing grades academically. She is insecure. If she is a close friend then, try to fix things up and tell her how you feel..if she is jus a friend..DROP HER! she isnt all that good anyway!

It does seem like she is jealous. But you have to talk it out with her. Let her know how you are feeling. Friendships are very important in a young ladies life.

This "friend" of yours is juss jealous. She`s juss trying to get attention by doing all that stuff to you. I think you should either talk to her about it...or drop the friendship. She`s not worth it if she treats you like that.

I don't think she is a good friend. She is competing with you and these are little things. It could get to be bigger issues like men, money and other things. True friends like you for who your are not for what you got and they won't do things that make you feel bad.

she sounds like a very competitive person but this doesn't mean she is a bad friend. maybe this is he way of getting attention cause she doesn't get it at home. keep your head high cause u dont need that recognition to realize how good u r
