Would you stop talking to someone if they got better exam results than you?

one of my friends has been really off with me since I did quite a bit better in my alevels than her. She hasn't even congratulated me and hasn't replied to my texts about meeting up before I move to uni.

A couple of my other 'friends' have been giving me similar treatment.

so I'm curious!

I'd be jealous and a right bitch ngl

But I'd come around soon enough, it's childish if they keep it up for much longer once you go back to school/sixth form/college

Depends. If you were literally rubbing it in everyone's faces and being horrible about it, then yes.

Otherwise it's natural to feel a bit jealous but nothing major.

If she got DDD and was gutted about it, and you got ABB and were 'gutted' about not getting A*AB then I'd be pissed at you, but me being me I wouldn't ignore you.

I don't see how you can just stop talking to someone over exam results. They're nothing that important.

I wouldn't bother with those 'friends' if I was you.

Seems like one of the stupidest reasons to cut off contact with someone.

if someone did what my old friend did whereby they don't speak to you all summer and then text you on results day asking what you got just so they can state they did better than you by one grade then yes I wouldn't speak to that person. EITHER WAY MY UNI IS 60 PLACES HIGHER AND BETTER SO SUCK IT.

I wouldn't stop talking to you. Some of my friends got better results than me and I also got better than others, and we all still speak to each other.

It may be that they just need time to get used to their results and will speak to you when ready

I want to say 'no of course not' but tbh I do get very jel of people who do better than me and so do many others. Just don't rub it in her face and she'll get over it.

The smart thing would be to talk to you more and get tips for the next exam smh. They need to grow up.

patience

No. The only way I would is if the person was saying that they didn't do well and were disappointed, that's annoying.

Trust me if they are ignoring you over this they are aren't the friends that you want to keep around.
