leave her alone, some people are just full of it. She will have to learn that mistakes are important too, that how we all learn and that we win some and we lose some. No matter what you do it won’t help until she accepts this.
Tell her that its just an award, and it does not mean anything. Not EVERYONE who wanted the award won the award. Shes not the only one who wanted it.
Even if she did not get the award it does not mean she is stupid or any less intelligent than she has always been.
Answer by boredThanks for being so concerned:) nice to know people care about each other. however, the best thing would be to tell your parents; don’t put all the pressure on yourself. you should be her friend but not necessarily her counselor. good luck:)Answer by i hate coke
Tell her that even the person that won the award is not perfect. I used to feel the same way…If I didn’t get a certain award, I would think of myself as inferior to the person that did. She needs to have some self-esteem. Tell her that mistakes are a part of life, and the award will meaning nothing in the long run. Well, depending on whether she’s in high school, college, whatever. And tell her that she’s already doing quite well.
