Is it normal in Japan for people to look down on others because they're successful? I do not remember a single occasion in school where anyone would behave jealously like that.

 

[Nolonar]

Japan is extremely competitive, so it's normal for people to fail their entrance exams, which is why they usually apply to multiple schools at the same time (to increase the chance that one school will accept them).

They don't necessarily have to be jealous, but it can be hard to be cheerful when you're still on edge about whether you passed yourself or not.

@X3h0n I don't think it's about jealousy, more about looking down on yourself because they accomplished something while you did not. At least that's how I read it.

I remember when I was applying for college, a teacher took me aside, as the did with all the kids and looked over my grades and asked about my college. The dude quite frankly said “you’ll get in”.

Ya that kinda took the wind out of my sails.
