I want to be smarter!!!!! Help!!!!!!!!! Please ;)?

So yesterday night I went to an award ceremony, I was happy because I got an honour roll award, that's when you get an average of 80% or higher in all terms, but pretty much everyone gets that award.

But after that, one of my best friends got called up 7 times for awards, awards that I have been working hard to get all year. Then my other best friend got an award, and then my OTHER best friend got an award (I have three best friends in total.) I was the only one in my group to get nothing.

My first best friend who got 7 awards, ended up winning almost all the awards that were given out in our level.

Yes, I admit that I am VERY jealous because I've been working sooooo hard to get good grades, but in the end, I seem pretty average.

Last year, I got 90's and sometimes got 100%, but this year I only get 80's.

Ughhh, I want pay back. I want to become smarter. I want those awards. My friend got them all this year, I'll get them all next year.

So can someone please help me??? I know, I need to study, do my homework, etc, But is there a way for me to use my brain to my full potential???? Thanks!! You have NO idea how much you will help me!!!!!!!!

Good Bye!!! Thanks!!!

    Some people are naturally smarter than others. If you are trying your best, than you should be happy about that. No one can ever be the smartest, so you should stop comparing yourself to other people and do the best that you can. If you are struggling in specific classes, you can go to tutoring. You could get your friend who won 7 awards to help you.

    Not everyone is equally intelligent. Some people have to work a lot harder to accomplish what others don't have to work for at all. If you want to beat your friends and win the awards, you're going to have to work harder. You may already be doing everything you're capable of.

    Two things: include an abundance of potato skins, spinach and walnuts in your diet, and practice cognitive and convergent thinking. I would explain it here but it would be easier to look up preferred techniques.
