Why do you want to get along with the people that you know wont like you even if you try?
I don't want to. I should've rephrased that.
As a person from an Asian family, and considering the competition in this region, 8th grade is when we get serious about school to get into a good college.
The district has a 9.5 out of 10 rating. The competition can be tough.
I'm a clean cut guy who has gotten all A's (no A-'s) since my education began. I'd never do work for others.
If they say to make an essay or report, I make it 9 or 10 pages with zero grammar / spelling mistakes instead of just one or two, for example.
Sorry for ranting.
