Q
Dear Dale,
My mother only wants me to hang out with the top students in my class, but I don’t think that we should judge people by their grades. Am I wrong?

Dear Andy,
The dream of all parents is for their children to do well in life. So, your mom is just trying to help you.
She probably believes that if you hang out with the best-performing kids, you’ll have more clever friends to study with.
But while this may be true, you should have the choice to make friends with whomever you like.
As we go through life, we make friends from many different backgrounds. Some friends may be rich, some may be poor; some may have gone to university, some may have not.
As an adult, you’ll discover that most people in the world have something good to add to your life - no matter who they are.
A good group of friends is one that contains all kinds of people.
You may learn how to improve your grades by making friends with the top students in your class, but you can still learn many other things from anyone else in your school.
With this in mind, you should talk to your mom and explain how you feel.
Perhaps you could make a deal with her that says if your grades are good, you can make friends with anyone you like. Your mom only wants the best for you. But if she sees that having all kinds of different friends can help you too, maybe she’ll change her mind.
All you need to do is show her how hardworking you are, and she’s sure to change her mind. Dale
