How do I deal with PATRONIZING, CONDESCENDING individuals? (Post #2)

I have this Individual in school that keeps patronizing me. Telling me that I would not get excellent GCSE results, acting as if he is more superior than me, thinking he is the best. I have already addressed this issue with him; and it continues on. How do I deal with people like this?

Hi, taylortron99,

I'm sorry to hear that one of your peers isn't treating you very nicely: I understand that it can be really quite annoying and degrading, and as someone who often finds themselves getting top grades, it's always a struggle for me as well to try and "keep it in", so as to speak.

I'd really advise you to try your best not to let it get to you, and to ignore this individual wherever possible: keep your sanity and remember that wisdom and intelligence means nothing if you can't express it in a manner which isn't arrogant and which isn't beneficial to everyone, and not just yourself.

I wonder how you dealt with him in the past? Was there any effectiveness at all in what you did to try to deal with the situation?

Best of wishes,

Thanks for the advice. I told him that his behaviour was patronizing and he stopped for a little while however he continued later on. So therefore; it proved fairly ineffective.
