Yeah, this happened to me in Middle School and High School. When a girl did better than I did (I must admit it was a sexist attitude), I asked myself "Oh no, but I'm still smarter, right?" In Middle School, there was an excuse. In High School, the answer was "No. She's smarter than you are. Deal with it." I got better results then.
