Rage Quit!
Or at least, I want to....
Some parents are simply ridiculous. As are their kids.
I got a complaint from someone saying that they were appalled by how the other children were picking on their own out of jealousy and pettiness.
* Well, if your kid wasn't stuck-up, self-righteous, challenging authority figures, exhibiting their superiority over their peers, and etc., then this wouldn't have happened in the first place. Did you bother to teach them about humility, modesty, and the value of knowing when to keep your mouth shut? Grr.
* And yo, kid! Stop arrogantly showing off -- it doesn't make you any friends! Neither does stepping on other people's toes.
And you know what? Chances are that they'll have this problem for the rest of their life if they don't change. The sad thing is, I don't think they even realize that what they're doing is mildly offensive to other people. It's like all the unlikeable parts of Hermione before she became a much more relatable character -- except for the teacher's pet part; not even the teachers like them because the parents are being ridiculously pushy.
See, I didn't have any problems with people being snide to me because of my actions, even when I was the one who was ridiculously ahead of my peers. You know why? It's because I knew my own limitations and was willing to acknowledge that even though I was good at one subject, there were at least a million people better at a million other things (including that one subject). If I had problems with people at all, it was usually their fault in the first place. They were the ones with the bad attitude / immaturity / whatever.
Or maybe people aren't as objective, practical or far-seeing as I had hoped...? I don't know. I give up on the world. Stupid human nature.
I always find new ways to be disappointed in people. I really should stop being surprised.
