Breakdown Session 2

Our graduation is on Saturday. I'm not sure if what I am supposed to feel. Should I be happy or what? We had a family dinner today, and my most hated part of it, as always, is them asking about grades and ranking in school. I am third in class, so I can neither be valedictorian or salutatorian, and that must have disappointed them. You see, a relative of mine, the same age as me was a valedictorian in her school, and they expected me to be the same. But I couldn't. And I hate myself because of it. I, again, disappointed them. But, didn't I did quite a good job? I was ranked third. It's still high, right? I feel so guilty for my friends who ranked 1st and 2nd. I was supposed to be happy for them, yet, here I am, wishing everything was a dream, and when I wake up, I was ranked 1st. I'm trying to take away what was theirs, ain't I a bad friend?

No no no and no. You do not have to be anything just cause a relative was that thing. Its perfectly normal to be jealous of ur friends, its uncontrollable. Take it from me, I've also been jealous of my friends and its uncontrollable. Just how u manage it that matters.
