Jealous feelings

I've come to the realisation that I get jealous easily, especially when it comes to academics. I mean, every time I work really hard on something but don't do so well, I am a little disappointed. But when I see that others who didn't work as hard, or didn't study get a better mark than me, I immediately become even more disappointed than I originally was. In my mind, I resent them because they did better even though they didn't study, or I helped them with editing the essay.
AND I HATE THIS FEELING. It's not right, and definitely not glorifying to God.
I need help.

Dad, I'm sorry for feeling resentment towards these things. Over and over again I have committed wrong in your eyes and now I come before you in repentance knowing that only you can give me peace. I need you to help me to rid myself of all jealousy and live a life holy and pleasing to you. Teach me to follow the example of Christ - loving others in all circumstances. Teach me to be content with all I have knowing that it is you who has given it to me. Thank you for you goodness and kindness. Teach me to reflect your love onto others. Amen.

A "short" update

Huh, it's been quite a while since I've posted here. Trials are creeping closer and closer, and you can't say I'm not stressed. But at the same time I haven't been the most productive person...in fact, I must say I'm very lazy. Less than 2 weeks til trials and I'm sitting here writing a blog. Here's how I've been going. All the drama's died down since last time, thankfully. I'm learning to let it go and not let it bother me as much. At the moment it seems that my parents are keeping a close watch on my sister, and God willing, it won't happen again. In terms of Barney, I can't say I don't have feelings towards him anymore, but it has been better. I guess I'm able to be comfortable around him again. My pain has returned, but what can I do. My menstrual cycle is currently terrible- I think I've bled for almost a month now. The pain is as usual, a pain- especially to manage because my meds haven't been of use lately....

Apparently not stressed enough.

Why don't my parents do the HSC if they think it's so easy? So, basically, I got my report last night and when my dad saw it, he just kept repeating the fact that my marks were crap and that I'm doing horribly. "You should be the top of the school" My mum wasn't any better, saying that I didn't do well and I need to work harder. Why do they only look at extension maths? I KNOW I FAILED IT. As if I don't feel crappy already. Don't cry. You can't cry.  You're not allowed to cry.

A timely reminder in the midst of chaos.
