My outstanding bro.

Dude my bro is gunna be a senior and has gotten an 5 on every single AP test he has taken. How am i suppose stand next to him??? help??? anyone???

[Kaleeko]

You ignore the fact that he may surpass you and just do what /you're/ capable of. He shouldn't really matter. Sure, he can give you sort of a goal in mind for what you'd like to do, but honestly? The world would be a better place if everyone didn't mope all the time about being worse than someone else. Be happy for what you do and accomplish, feeling "low" compared to someone else will only make you do worse, from personal experience.

Pretty much, just do your best. For all you know, you may do just as well. But cowering isn't gonna help.

Screw that. I would go for feeling inferior and trying hard. If you get a 5, then you're awesome. If you don't, kill yourself. That's how I got my 5.

Don't try to stand next to him. Surpass him; leave him in the dust. Take more AP tests than he did and get a 5 on each one.

uhh impossible he's taking every single ap class and we have this program called ib which is suppose to be better than ap.

[d&q]

IB shouldn't necessarily be better than AP. And how is it possible that he is taking every AP class and taking IB on top of that? Even if he was taking something around 3-4 AP courses, his workload would be incredible.

Do you actually think before you say something, or do you just say whatever, whenever, because you are a complete moron?

Why are you such a jerk? :\

All the metal I've listened to has corrupted me.  And he reminds me way too much of Mangix..

So he's new to using forums? Give him time. We don't shun away guests like most people do. We invite them and simply guide them. :)

Yeah, I've noticed this condescending attitude in deadly as well.  I mean, I can let that go if the person really is brilliant or accomplished in some way, but ... :P

/you're/

Do you use Perl?

No. Do you mean the "//"s? They're habituary from text-based RPG's where // was the only way to express italics. I've gotten jabbed for using them in papers before because I'm too lazy to hit the italics button. *shrug*

I don't see how using forums has anything to do with it.  If he acts like this when he's talking to people in real life, then that's different.  But I highly doubt it.  All I'm asking is that he thinks before he posts something.

Prove it.

Yes, I was just curious how that started since they seem to be unique to your posts.  I never got into the text-based RPGs but I kind of like it anyways.

Prove that I've noticed a condescending attitude...?  I don't think you've been particularly condescending to me, but you seem to be quick to insult and belittle people, somewhat arbitrarily too.  I'd rather not go around looking to make a big case up against you because I don't think it's worth it.   Just try and be more considerate of people, especially when you haven't shown that you're really in a position to judge.

I think Rule needs a smiley to lighten his post...I feel so...:( after reading it.
