Hey, look on the bright side! (Usually) your flaws go unnoticed! Then again, so do your good-points.

I got a 4 on my AP World History test, and this guy that just graduated this last school year got 5s on every AP test he took (which is all that my school offered but Chemistry), and my teachers are all the time comparing me to him. "Oh, E. Gadd, you're just like Nate" "Wow, you're as skilled as Nate" Nate this, Nate that. I'm tired of it.
I'm a runner and he isn't, a musician (kinda) and he isn't, I don't drink and he does, and I'm planning on taking (and passing) the AP Chem test next year. Yet still, the people at school don't care. I'm not <my name here>, I'm Nate's secondary form.

don't worry about it, high school and 80% of the people you know in high school wont ever matter in like 2 years.

[Nebbles]

For real. Once you're out of high school no one gives a shit about dumb stuff like that.

When I was in school, people always referred to me as "Tyler's sister" because my brother knew and was friends with everybody. We were only 1 grade apart in school and everyone knew we were siblings, because of our hair color
So yeah, no one even knew my name for a while T_T

I get how you feel E. Gadd, always being compared to others and not appreciated for your own skill

I know, I know, it would just be nice to, for once, be my own person. :/

It isn't fun at all. Hopefully this year will be different.

[Hero of Trains]

Oh, that's really too bad. But even if people compare you to others, keep asserting yourself as your own person. Eventually your personality will overshadow people's first impressions, which is usually the part where they draw comparisons. I wish you luck, just keep going and you'll make it.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Thank you. I'm thinking about entering the talent show on piano in an attempt to set myself apart from him.

[Zunawe]

Or you could just do it because it's fun instead of trying to compare yourself to him like you just talked about.

I get that hearing that you're "like" somebody isn't great, but if you start to do things because you want to, you'll both separate yourself from those comparisons, and you'll stop caring so much because you know its for you.

[E. Gadd Industries]

Yeah... You're right. I'll try and focus on that!
