I hate how people don’t understand success in school has little to do with hard work

It is ironic how some of the smartest people are the most ignorant. I seen someone who was a valedictorian in high school despite barely studying arguing high school should be easy because they have high intelligence. How dumb are people? I hate how awful so many people are and aren’t afraid of bullying you for not being smart. I struggled massively in high school. I studied hard, pulled all nighters, and used tutoring only to get Bs and Cs. Sorry I wasn’t gifted with high intelligence
