Yes, it's kyungsoo
You said that by helping them, I get to develop a good impression but I think it's going in the opposite way.
There is this guy, who I've been friends with for a year. He wants to do a really competitive course and wants me to help him. Of course, I try my best to help this guy out. I sacrifice my lunch times to help him, and after school sometimes. I give him all my resources so that he has a better chance. But when I ask for something I see might help me, he refuses to give them to me and turns really competitive against me. Even if I try my best to help him, sometimes I cannot (when I have a huge SAC or I'm in the middle of doing an exam) then he and his friend (yep, another person bothers me now) would imply that I'm selfish by saying stuff like: "if I knew this, and I knew my friend is struggling,
I would help"And that makes me feel guilty and it makes me upset because even though I devoted so much time for this person, instead of appreciating it he ends up being really bitter and disappointed when I cannot help him.
And even though I try to sit away or avoid him, he will always come along and somehow find me. He will always look at what I'm doing and take close notice and tries to do everything the same. He always talks negatively about VCE, how it's all a competition and you can't trust ANYONE. Even though I help him, he is really competitive against me and tries to always take my ideas from English essays and stuff.
You also suggested that I say " I don't know"to every question, and that seems like a great idea, but he says stuff like:
"what? How can you not know this stuff?" Like I was really stupid and dumb and he can't believe it. I don't know he is causing a lot of stress for me because he simply won't leave me alone. If I refuse to help or tell him I'm busy, he will frame me as a selfish, over-competitive person who won't even help a friend out. If I let him ask questions, he will abuse this power and follow me around until I get no work done and feel like crying (because I'll have to make up for that time by cutting my "fun time" or cutting down on sleep). I don't know what to do with him. Lazydreamer, your advice is really perfect, but I can't say it would work on this guy.
And the bad thing is, because he asks me so many questions, other people start to believe that they can too, and more people have started to bother me.
I go to a bad school and I feel really sad that I couldn't go to elite selective schools or private schools because then no one will bother me (cause everyone is so smart there!) I feel like people try to take advantage of me without giving anything back. Not even being nice or politely asking for help. They refuse to give me things that might help me as well. They expect help like I have an obligation to help them, so it doesn't give me a good impression at all- I'm just doing something I'm expected to do.
Teachers imply also, that I help people who struggle. It's really difficult for me
