If am not good at math, does not mean I'm stupid?

Question

I'm a junior in erm, 10th grade math- shameful I know.
Recently, my sister ( 10th grader in 11th grade math) told me that she was smarter because she was better at MATH than me.
I like to believe a person can suck at one subject and have another talent such as art to back up the tilt. Right now, I'm number one in my schools art students. nothing to brag about- because I know for a fact there are natural prodigy's out there.



but is it true?
is my sister smarter because she is good at math?

Answer 1

She's more logical, you're more artsy. End of story.



I tend to discount anyone who implies that they are "art-smart" but that's just my arrogance. However, a few lessons in grammar and punctuation would probably serve you well.

Answer 2

not nescessaily. Everyone has strengths and weaknesses. Are you better at other subjects than she is, such as english,?... Normally a person can be a math/science person or an english/history person. You're sister may be a math person, but that doesn't mean shes smarter than you. She may just be better at solving problems using math skills, instead of other skills you may have.

Answer 3

No. It doesn't mean anything. Just because she is better at math than you doesn't mean that she is smarter than you. I bet you are probably better at some subjects than her. Don't take it personally, she is just trying to make you feel bad. But then again, siblings do that kind of stuff. So just ignore her. Her words shouldn't matter to you because she's your little sister. And, I am sorry your sister is mean like that.

Answer 4

No, it just means that your sister is better at math. Not entierly smarter. You are most likely better at something other than math. I suck at math, but I'm great at writing and my reading level is pretty high. Doesn't mean other people are smarter than me because they're better at math.

Answer 5

Depends what math she's in, i have five freshman at my school that are already in AP Calc BC, one of them is 13 years old, at that rate I would consider them smarter, but if its only one math class ahead, its not that much of a deal, because different states have different "paths of progression" for math.

Answer 6

no ur not, believe me.

im not good at math either but the best in english...if ur good at any of two then ur not stupid

but art...wow!!! ur amazing i can say. many ppl r not good in art and even hate it..so its a good thing u r dear :P

no ur sis is no smarter than u. there r still things she cant do or good at but u r. i believe everything in this world can be learned so if u really wanna be good at math the u try ur best (anyway they say if ur into art then ur into maths too) lol why is that?



gud luck!!!

Answer 7

Well it happens, I know what u mean. Some people are smarter, and others arent. But I doubt thats the case. Sometimes things happen, you can't get it for whatever reason at that moment in time.



give it time!

Answer 8

just because math is not your forte does not mean you are in any way dumb. and that's awesome that you have all of that talent!

i am not really good at math at all-- im a senior taking pre-calc because i forced myself to-- but i'm struggling through it.





however, i am good in virtually every other subject.. i've maintained a 3.8-3.9 GPA (out of 4) for my entire high school career because i am good at everything else. and i've been accepted to 9 colleges thus far (some of which are hard to get into!)



so i hope that makes you feel better :)

Answer 9

No, because your probably better at something else, that your sister sucks at. I can't do math at all. I'm more for english and the arts :)

Answer 10

Just because math isn't your strong point doesn't mean you're stupid. I suck at Geometry and I still do great in all my other classes, and music is my talent, so I feel that it kindof balances it out.

Answer 11

fluck ur sister, she sounds like a bee itch lol everyone is different. some people are good at math some people are good at history

some people can sing some people can act.she might be better than youh at math but im sure youh are better then her at another subject. It is said that boys are better then girls in math does that mean they are smarter then girls? no it doesnt. =] lol

Answer 12

Yes....



NO! Everyone is talented in a specific field...we're just mere human beings..we're meant to be imperfect.



I personally hate math...and yep it's one of my worst subjects after chemistry, physics, biology and spanish. Did I miss any?



Now look at my list of "horribleness", I'm sure it's worse than yours....yet I'm still happy even though I don't know what's to become of me.

Answer 13

no. im in AP classes for history and english but lower in math and science....that doesnt mean im stupid. we all have things that we are specially good at. ur subject just isnt math. keep going with the art!

Answer 14

no its not true my friend is way better at math anything actually but my other friend aren't so good im get better grades than them. Just because your sister is smarter doesn't mean you aren't maybe your smarter than other friends

Answer 15

yeah, that doesnt prove anything. i mean sure math can make you smarter, but just because you're not good at it doesnt mean youre actually dumb. there are some people in lower levels than you, you might be a genious at art while youre sister is not.

Answer 16

I hate math.

I suck at it.

I am still smart, and so are you.

You are smarter then your sister.

No matter what she says or does.

You're brilliant.

Just not in math.

Answer 17

No your sister is not smarter than you just because she is better than you in one subject. How good is she in art?

Answer 18

No, everyone is better at one subject more than another. You aren't stupid because math isn't your subject, either you'll find it or you already know it. Don't allow yourself to be so easily questioned. :)

Answer 19

No technically you really only need to know basic math in real life honestly who uses algebra in every day life

Answer 20

Tell your sister you're smarter because you're good at art. Or, better yet, take an IQ test.

Answer 21

Man I hate Maths. Thank goodness for calculators.

Answer 22

That's cruel of your sister to say. If she says she's smarter, than tell her your artistically talented.

Answer 23

being better at math doesn't prove anything besides the fact that she's better at math. who cares. math is my least favorite subject. my teacher sucks *** so i never learn anything.

Answer 24

You might want to fix up your English as well. No it means you are brain dead... (jk)



You just need to further your studying skills much more efficiently and quickly. When I was in school I hated science and still do.



Foreign language and history: my favorite.



GOD BLESS
