I was jealous that my friend got knew bikes because he is sponsored. Then I realized he needed them much more than I did and I am still very fortunate for the bike that I have.

When I was in second grade I was jealous of Beth's sparkly calculator. I had told her about it and how I really wished I could buy things like that. Then for my birthday she got me one.

A time I can get jealous is when someone gets more playing time then me in a sport. To try to get rid of that I work harder at practice.

I don't like to feel jealous of people it makes me feel like I have a pit in my stomach that I just can't get rid of. When I feel this I try to think of why the person I'm jealous of has the things they have. Whether it is because they put in hard work or they have been nice to me in the past I can normally either get rid of the feeling or ignore it enough to stay on the positive side.

I feel the same way, if I like the person I'm jealous of I can get over it and be happy for them.

A time I was jealous of someone else is when a certain person got something that I worked so hard for and they got effortlessly. It made me feel like I was cheated that my efforts where definitely recognized but wern't acknowledged and someone who doesn't care got it in the end. I dealt with it by being the better person I am and I just let it go.

Madeline

That's a really mature solution and a good point of view.

I was once jealous of my sister, she got a new laptop for her birthday. It made me feel angry at first, and I didn't do anything about it because I realized I didn't actually care. I could just buy my own laptop.

Olivia

9/27/2021 11:09:51 am

You buy that laptop, girl!

I was in middle school on the football team, one of the other guys got the spot on the line because his dad payed for him to play. I was pretty upset because he didn't really earn that spot.

My older sister is one who strives for perfection and basically always achieves her goals. One of her biggest accomplishments deals with her musical inclinations. She and I both share a love for music and often compete in this area, it has helped her along in areas I wish I was more successful in. Obviously jealousy is present, it makes me mad that I can not reach the notes she can or possess the range she has. However, I can still sing well. It is something I take pride in, I have to remind myself that she's not the only one who can do it well and be appreciated for it.

I can get jealous when someone can crawl up rocks that I can't in my toyota. It made me feel kind of butthurt but I got over it. When I get done in the hills I go to the shop and start working on it to make it better.

In middle school I was constantly jealous that people were better at things than me, like sports and academics and how many friends they had. I just had to get over it instead of being angry.

Rory Wilson

Don't worry, I think you are good at everything. :)

I was jealous of my brother because he gets to go pursue his dreams and I have to be stuck a school. It made me feel mad and sad because I want to be able to not have to worry about school. I just work harder to get where i want to be.

When I lived in California many of my other classmates lived in large houses and mini mansions and had multiple stories. I was considered one of the more poor people in my grade for the simple fact that I lived in 1 to 2 story houses. It was a stupid thing to be jealous about but I was ashamed for having a smaller house and found it difficult to not feel awkward around my own friends. They never really judged me for it but I still felt like less than them. Me and those friends grew into a very expensive lifestyle and now I feel no better than any of them. Apparently we were all jealous of each other for something.
