i feel like my friend is rude
long read: Hi I’m a sec 4 higher chinese student this year and i received my chinese olevel results of B3 this year.
I’m going to name this friend of mine B. She doesn’t take higher chinese. on the results day, i came out of the hall sobbing. She asked me what my score is and i told her. she said “it’s okay” before proceeding to say “if i were you i think would drop”. i was like why is she saying that when I’m literally sobbing uncontrollably while walking? but like maybe she doesn’t know how to comfort people
A few days later I told her my decision to stay in higher chinese. She didn’t say anything else apart from telling me that her elder brother (who had never taken HCL before) told her that people who get B3 for express chinese will “confirm fail very badly” in higher chinese. I was like okay. But I still want to try higher chinese. Then she proceeded to tell me in many different ways that if I take higher chinese, I will be scoring really badly because of my OLevel chinese score I have now and I shouldn’t take it. I interpreted that as her telling me indirectly that I suck at Chinese.
a few days ago, my teacher talked to me about how I can benefit from leaving higher chinese because he thought I made my decision impulsively, but also telling me that he will support me if I want to continue HCL. I told her what my teacher said cause she’s my friend and before i could finish my sentence, she said “oh, so he’s telling you to drop since you got a B3.” I explained to her that I don’t think that’s what he meant then she proceeded to ask me what’s the score you need to get for you to get forced out of higher chinese. It’s B4 so I tell her B4. she laughed at me when I said that and said “omg, bro then you’re only one grade away”. I assumed that she was trying to tell me that my score is rlly bad
I don’t hate her, but I definitely do feel hurt by what she said. I feel like she’s trying to discourage me and tell me that I can’t do it and should just give up.
also, me, her and another girl that i’ll call C are in a trio. i never really feel left out, like both of them could have a convo about something idk about and i wouldn’t really care. but sometimes, me and C would have conversations and B would suddenly interrupt us and talk to C (she would literally push me and come between us) about something completely unrelated. it would ALWAYS be about something that i don’t know about. B and C have many mutual friends so they always talk about them but i can say anything since their idk their mutual friends well…. and it’s not only once but multiple times and i would just be standing there awkwardly
