Answer 1

You just want to fit in. You want the other kids to like you for you, not for your smarts. Let me tell you, your good grades are far better than any so called friend you could have. A true friend would value your friendship for you. It should not matter if you are smart or dumb, if a person is you true friend they just love you! Dont worry about what others think, they dont matter, only you matter when it comes to your grades. When you are older and in college then a professional person, you will be making more money than your C friends, who will be saying "do you want fries with that" Keep up the good work, make your grandma proud, everyone wants to do well for grandma right?!! Just focus ok, you got this school stuff in the bag, dont throw it away because of a group of teens. They only want to see you fail lilterally. Keep your head up and be strong, not very many people do that well in school, you have a gift dont loose it!!!!!

This problem is a problem that affects all grades. You do not see the work your friends do, so you feel they do not know anything. They are not into talking about school and educated ideas-topics of importance, so your survival depends on not talking about your ideas. Of course this hurts people. Teachers try to single out smart kids to give answers in classes. You've heard of picking on someone-well the teachers do it to the disruptive kid 'and' the smart kid. Hopefully you don't have a need to tell your answers in class out loud. If you do, the teacher will know your talent. Then she or he will single you out. If you can remain silent, then nobody will need to know your grades. They will not see your report transcripts. But that is if you do not get the teacher who will draw on your assignment answer and say it to the class without your name. Or will call on you and comment on your work even if you didn't speak in front of the study. This is plain discrimination. If this occurs, let your school board know that it is not something you go to school for. They too will make excuses if they are no good, but there is someone in their profession that can help out and deal with it for you.
The same way young people can walk through a department store and buy what they wnat, you can walk down a school hallway and ignore kids that are negative toward your education. If you want a job, and like your school subjects, hand in good work even if your the only one.

There is nothing wrong here. What could help is accepting the good grdes and anything that goes along with it. Accepting involves even an affirmation that what the positive feedback is, is good. When all the heads in the class turn to you because the teacher singles you out, can be accepted by knowing it is the work they are talking about and not you.

I'm sure you want quality work, so don't fear doing it and hearing others say you did good.

You seem to be suffering from being a perfectionist. Have you ever thought that you are not the smartest person in your age? Actually being smart is completely unrelated to how much you know. A person who had a doctorates degree could have the same IQ scores as a person who did not have proper education, as twin studies have shown.
You could have a very low self-esteem. One word fits this situation, and that is: floccinaucinihilipilification, meaning that you are negative about everything.
I think you should have some talks with a guidance counsellor or a psychologist that might be able to relieve you of your depression from being a perfectionist or having low self-esteem. Or maybe you're setting too high a standard for yourself, so that you can never satisfy yourself no matter how well you perform. You yourself admitted that you work hard in school. But do you truly believe that? It's the perfectionist thing. Compared to your local school environment, you may seem smart to your peers, but you want more. Go to a counsellor. Counsellors don't just sit in their office just for nothing; they are there to listen to you and to help you.
If you don't like people complimenting you for the moment, tell them that. Ask your parents and friends for help on getting over this depression.

Answer 4

For some reason you seem to have a problem accepting who you are which is really sad. Are your friends teasing you about being so smart? If they are, don't let it bother you, just learn to make jokes about it and be proud of your accomplishments but stay humble at the same time.

Be friendly with others and develop a sense of humor about things so you are fun to be around. Most of all be sincere.

Learn to love and respect yourself and the wonderful blessing of being able to get such good grades.

You will go far in life and accomplish so much more if you accept what you have and don't question it ~ and continue to do your best. Take pride in yourself and don't wish to be less than you are or can be. That is making yourself a loser and you sure do not sound like one (other than your attitude which you can change :)

Hold your head high and strive on. Good luck and God bless you

School doesnt define who you are. in time you will find that after you leave school it's the decisions that matter then. i wish i had a few more A's under my belt. i did poorly at school. i had alot going on and i could never concentrate. if someone pays you out about it, tell them that's no way to speak to their future boss. failing that, tell them their mum was smart as well until you F*#ked her brains out. take care dude and remember that school is training wheels for life, but those training wheels will come off sooner or later. you just got to be ready.
