am i in the wrong

College Life
1

<p>to start ill let you no about the past. i grew up in a place where not many people graduated from high school and less went to college the same thing with my family(cuzens aunt uncial…ect) most didn’t finish high school and i only now of one out side of my parents who when on to higher edu. and none of them graduated from college.</p>

<p>now here’s the question am i in the wrong for thinking that im better then my family and naibers and bragging that im going to have a more stable future or do i have the right to show them what ive accomplished … even my mom brags to the parents of the kids i went to school and how im better then my family and friends.</p>

<p>Yes–You are wrong.</p>

<p>While I am a high school senior, and have no place answering your question, I understand where you’re coming from.</p>

<p>There’s nothing wrong with having your accomplishments acknowledged, however you are in the wrong for if you’re thinking that you are “better” than your relatives and those around you. Remember, in this day and age, higher education, to some, is a privilege. You could have ended up in the same situation as the people around you. And sometimes, all that bragging you’ve done can really come back to bite you hard in the tail. </p>

<p>As for your mom bragging-she’s a parent-parents are entitled to some bragging rights. She’s proud of you, and it’s awesome that she wants to share her joy with others. </p>

<p>HOWEVER, if your mom is using your accomplishments to try and size up to other people, it’s best that you speak with her to stop (if that’s what you desire). This can create a lot of contempt from others towards your mother, and even more towards you. Although, some of your friends and family may be happy to know how well you’re doing, some may harbor jealously/annoyance towards you and your mother, as stated before. Yes, it is possible for family, friends, and surrounding people to do you dirty like that, and no one like a constant gloater. </p>

<p>Sometimes, all that bragging you’ve done can really come back to bite you hard in the tail. Just try to practice being humble, and let your success speak for you, don’t speak for it. ;)</p>

<p>Like I said, I’m not a college student, but just a senior in high school, but I hope I helped you answer your question.</p>

<p>Congratulations on your success and Good Luck towards your future! :)</p>

<p>If you want to brag, I’d suggest learning how to type in English and not in the chatspeak/I’m-too-lazy-for-my-shift-key dialect you have there.</p>

<p>Actually, just cut it out. Really. Because saying “I’m better than you!” just alienates people. Trust me, you don’t want to do that.</p>

5

<p>No. You are not wrong. I bet you 90% of people who respond to this post will think they’re better than you. FWIW.</p>

6

<p>I think I’m better than you because you have “cuzens” and “naibers”.</p>

<p>While it’s certainly wrong to think things like being “better” than other people, sometimes I understand that we can’t help what we think. Actually SAYING it, though, really helps no one IMO. Try to keep those thoughts to yourself :)</p>

<p>Boasting about the unpredictability of your supposedly stable future? Go right ahead, and when something called life hits you from behind, those uneducated people you deem will be laughing to the bank.</p>

<p>My point is, don’t ever be certain about the future, and certainly don’t boast about getting a higher education (albeit it seems you’re not that much better off from your post).</p>

<p>You are in the wrong for throwing that in their faces…Would I be in the wrong for saying “Since my school is a top LAC, my school is better than whatever school you go to Indiana?”</p>

<p>That would be messed up right? Same applies to you.</p>

10

<p>Instead of bragging, share your knowledge and experiences with them in a humble and nice manner. They would respect you and would look up to you.</p>

<p>i her what ur saying but in most cases i stood up against harder obstical and was werse of when i cam to money and thing of that nature most of them not making it that far is they did want to</p>

12

<p>well guess what this is blogging not formal writing so it not required to use that kind of stuff and i wasn’t paying much attention to my spelling and mush have missed the typo’s</p>

13

<p>^ Learn middle school grammar, spelling, and sentence structure before you say you’re better than anyone else.</p>

<p>Eh, actually seems like a ■■■■■ now. I mean, it takes effort to write that abysmally. Literal Effort. </p>
