are school marks a factor in freindships

[joe45]

how of u guys still talk to ppl or hang with ur freinds from HS. i'm 24 and the HS i went to was mainly chinese and white, -i didn't get along with any of em. the cihinese didn't like to assocaite with me b/c i was a C avg student -just not academecially blessed. school and marks was everything to asian-chinese students. i even had stuff said like-woww thats a low mark-said it harshly too"-in cantonese.
the whites were pretty much all skaters-they didn't really accept me into their group either.
i think that was the main reason for myself being a loner. any chinese or any guys out there that was pretty much like a loner in HS-never went out with a bunch of freinds on a fri, sat, sun night.
i mean i had freinds u talk to -more like aquintances but not like freinds the type u would hang out with on a fri, sat night or out of school time.
yea my youth days are like crap, the thing is in college its like that now too.

do u think that being chinese cbc guy and lets say ur chinese or asian too or what not-if u get low marks C+ B- avg , that it would be a repellent to one wanting to be friends with me. all i am sayin is are my marks -is it really whats stopping me from gaining freinds. i think in a way since the chinese are so gung ho about school and marks and gettin into a university.

what does this have to do with anything?

It makes things easier to read and reply to. Maybe that's why they avoided him.

In general, I would say that grades are a somewhat good indicator of the kinds of people you'd associate with; those with consistently poor marks are usually not driven/don't care, or rebellious.

don't worry brother, keep the grades up. You need to just keep improving your english and confidence. Girls have never in my opinion cared about grades. In my opinion, grades reflect a certain amount of character and care, as I've always maintained pretty good grades. But let's be honest, I've seen too many examples of guys who have gotten poor grades who have many friends and are attractive to many girls. Girls who I've met personally have never freaking cared about my grades, and I've never cared to tell them... In my opinion, keep your business and pleasure seperate, and you won't have to worry about it.

No. Grades do not indicate who you can or cant be friends with.

Although you may often see kids with similar grades being in the same friendship group, it might not be grades affecting their social circle - rather it could be their social circle affecting their grades (eg. a group of friends who share similar interests/hobbies/passions may also have similar study habits and hence grades).

Have you considered joining the Triads? (chinese mafia)

They don't mind if you get bad marks.


Seriously though...are you serious?
