High school students always like to compare their grades with others. Is this a good thing?

This is a good thing, but what is more important is your attitude after comparison.

Competing and comparing with classmates in high school is the right thing to do. You don’t need to feel ashamed or care about other people’s opinions. Because the existence of scores is a unified measurement standard for distinguishing high and low, if there is no comparison, the scores will be meaningless. The slogans "One more point in the college entrance examination will kill a thousand people" are not gimmicks used in youth movies to show the strictness of schools and the cruelty of high schools. This is true in the high-pressure and highly competitive education system.

So high school classmates are not only fighting side by side, but also competing with each other. If you want to go to your dream university in three years, you must constantly compare yourself with others in terms of learning to measure your own strength.

But what high school students need to know clearly is what to do after comparing. This is very important.

After comparing their grades, some people dismissively compare themselves to those who are worse than themselves. And when I see students who are better than me, I feel depressed and full of resentment and complaints about my classmates who are better than me, but I never find the reason in myself. Not only will such people not make progress and be of no help to their studies, but they will also become alienated from their classmates, which is harmful but useless.

Really smart people will get along with their classmates like friends in normal times, not involve their studies, and treat others sincerely. After the exam, I will openly compare my scores with others. Not only that, you will also ask others to show you their papers, compare the scores, and then ask the teacher for advice to find your strengths and weaknesses and constantly optimize your abilities.

This is a healthy competitive relationship in learning, and it is also the most reasonable mentality for a high school student to study and live. Only by correcting your mentality can you grow faster.
