How can I get my step sister to stop looking down on me for getting a GED?

High school is a joke. GED, Diploma, same siht different terlet. Still won't get you a great job, tell her she can talk siht when she gets an associates degree at least. Bye the way, your sister is a dumb unsupportive bicth. If she was really smarter or better than you she would try to be an actual sister and encourage you. Maybe show her THAT and see what she has to say.

take it you will be glad yo did you will have a diploma to show for it and better jobs

Get a college degree....that should take care of the problem, although you really shouldn't care what she thinks.

The net of it, I think, is that your sister's insecurities are showing. She appears to have a strong need to be better than others, and she's chosen you as her target to pick on. The fact that you did so well on the placement test indicates that you will do very well on the actual test. And being able to do very well on the actual test without having taken the HS classes, means you are a very sharp person. Sort of like taking a test without having studied and passing it with the highest score. It's nothing to be ashamed of. As a matter of fact, you should be proud of your accomplishments and your obvious mental abilities. I happen to be someone who did the same thing. Took the GED instead of going to HS. I had to leave HS in my Sophomore year because my step mother booted me out of the house. After finding myself on the street at 16, I lasted for about a year, and got a special permission to join the USN at the age of 17. You have to be 18 years of age to join under normal circumstances. Although I passed a GED test while in the USN, I didn't do as well as you're most likely going to do. I don't even know you, and I'm proud of you. Your sister might think that a diploma from a HS is going to impress potential employers more than a GED, but, the truth be known, that's not the case at all. And I speak from experience. I've already been through my work life, and I'm now retired, so I speak from experience. And my experience has been that employers are very much aware that getting a diploma, or degree, is one thing, but having real smarts is another. They know that until they have you on the job, and they see you perform, it's all a big guessing game for them. You could have graduated from the best schools with the highest honors and turn out to be a real dud on the job. And, you could also be quite unimpressive because you have very little to show for yourself in the form of a sheepskin, but turn out to be a real dynamo performer on the job. I'm confident you'll do very well with your GED. And even more so, if you decide to get more education by taking courses in your spare time. But I wouldn't rub it in your sister's face. Give her a break, and let her ramble on about how much better she thinks she is. You, and I, and many others, know the truth. She ain't no better than you. She's just running off her mouth because she's insecure and needs to say those things to make herself feel good about herself. As she gets older and matures, she'll drop the old "I'm better than you" act that she's currently putting on. The best thing to tell her right now, is "Ya, right Sis, you're really great." And when she seems to suspect that there might be a little sarcasm in your tone, and responds "Well, I really am," you can respond, "I know, I know, I just told you so," and then point and wag your finger at her and say "And, I'm really proud of you too." My personal experience (during my work years) was that many people at work would come to me for help in polishing some of their written work. They all thought I was college educated, but the truth be known, I was just a HS drop out, with a little old GED. While in the workplace, just keep your mouth shut about your education (with the exception of your employer knowing) and go on about doing your best, and everything will work out just fine for you. But, I hope you won't think I'm making light of getting more education if you can work that into your schedule. The more you know, the better off you'll be. But that's not to say you'll be bad off with just a GED, provided you have some natural smarts. And I'm confident you do. The net of it is don't worry about your sister. She'll outgrow the childishness she's displaying right now. Be pleased with the fact that you are not so insecure that you have a need to engage in that kind of imature activity yourself. You have a superior mentality, and it shows. Just continue to disregard her childishness. She'll eventually outgrow it.

first of all your mother should have had child protective services called on her for not homeschooling you. Secondly, for only having a 7th grade education, you ought to be very proud that you can pass the GED test, and with high scores too! If your step sister is so smart why is she graduating high school at 19? In my opinion, the GED is much harder than a HSD, especially the math portion of the GED. Please do not let your butt hole of a step sister stop you from taking this test. Without it you will not be able to get a good job. I bet the real reason she went back to HS is because she couldn't pass the GED.

I agree, go to a community college and do well! You will never understand why she is so nasty--try to get beyond it. She must be jealous of you for some reason, or she is so insecure herself she must pick on other people. congratulations--I think it's great that you finished and got such good scores! Reward yourself and ignore your step-sister.

well real life starts now go out and make something of yourself

Sounds like she didn't like school or she would have graduated with her class. She feels insecure by you because you basically missed out on the second half of formal education but were able to pass the test so well. Learn to ignore the ignorant. And her spewing hateraid at you is ig-no-rant. My sister had trouble in school due to learning and mental problems. That doen't mean she's not smart. She just doesn't function well in a school setting. After much switching schools , she finally got a college degree in ecomonics. So she can't be too dumb --- huh? There are lots of reasons to drop out of school. It's not just for losers anymore!

Sorry to say this, but your sister is acting stupid. There is nothing wrong with a GED, and although people tend to look down on GED holders, in the real world there is hardly any difference at all between a GED and HSD. Keep your head up and ignore your sister. She's just being foolish.
