WHY AM I SO STUPID?!?

You, my friend, are the perfect example of how the American school system is pressuring kids way to much. Live your life a bit. Learn to accept you're not perfect. You don't need to beat anyone. You don't need to prove yourself to anyone. You don't need to be like the others. It may sound stupid. It may sound clich�. No offense to you and everything but I honestly think that you may need to change the way you view life a little bit. Life isn't about being the best. You don't need to be the best to get into the school of your dreams. There are many ways to get there. Right now I think what you want to hear is some advice though, and not some sappy trash inspiration talk. Maybe you should associate with the "smarter" kids. (Even though you are not "dumber" than any of these other "smarter" kids.) Learn from them. Practice their study tips. Group working may be for you. By the way, it's rude to categorize the students who do not do as well as you to be "dumber." They may not be as "blessed" as you, but you surely do not need to point that out with such derogatory and offensive wordage.
