Hi! I'm a sophomore in hs and I'm getting worried because all of my friends are so close with their teachers when there are really only 2 teachers I feel close with (my history and english teachers)

*sorry this is so long lol!*

general question to both students (ur perspective on how to get close or like how you feel about this) and teachers

honestly have no clue what to title this so sorry if its misleading my real questions is more like "do teachers like people who are friendly with them (as in talking about their life and joking) more than others"

I feel like I'm a pretty shy/unsocial person in general and its really tough for me to talk to people older than me because I feel like I'm constantly bowing my head or I'll like say something wrong. Don't get me wrong I love my teachers but everyone I see around me is almost like friends with them. I want to be close with my teachers. I have good grades, i pay attention, raise my hand during class but I know you probably need more than that to get a good letter of rec or even just a good relationship and I have no idea what to talk to them about.

My friends talk to our teachers all the time about stuff like movies and stuff but I honestly just stand there like that one standing man emoji. I genuinely appreciate my teachers but sometimes it feels like a parsasocial relationship except they arent fictional characters and I talk to them on a biweekly basis.

I genuinely want to be able to talk to my teachers but I'm such an awkward person, this is the case especially for my newspaper adviser. I really want to major in journalism or bioengineering but both my biology and newspaper teachers don't really talk to me. My newspaper adviser is close to everyone in my class but me and like 5 other people; they have inside jokes etc. I have no idea what to do because shes my adviser again next year and she already knows I'm pretty shy so I don't think she wants to make the effort to talk to me especially since everyone else in my class is so social

Ok so to start im 15 and a sophomore in high school pretend my name is jellyfish.

I have this friend, friend A (she isnt the one im talking about for now), and she created the FBLA club at our school. She is president and she was looking for a vice president at the start of the school year. She mentioned this idea to some members of my friend group and friend B called dibs on vice president. I heard this happen but I was talking to another friend. Club registration week comes around and we're looking for an adviser, I help friend A look around and talk to the teachers about being our adviser, I give her advice , help her design stuff, etc. A few days later, Friend A sends the officer application post into our group chat and I sign up to either be secretary or vice president (you can already see where this is going).

Long story short, she makes me vice president. When she announces this friend B is visibly mad so I ask friend A if we should also make friend B vice president because she wanted it so bad. We propose it during lunch and she says yes, ok cool.

However, the next day friend A face times me and thinks that only I should be vice president since friend B didn't really do anything and also only one VP is allowed. Anyways, she takes friend B off the board but I suggest we should keep her on as treasurer since we needed one anyways and she good at math. Friend B then DECLINES being treasurer because shes already in another club as treasurer and friend A reorders our entire board so she can be secretary (at my request, because I do believe friend B is extremely capable).

Club sign up weeks roll around. Friend B gets all of her other friends to join the club (none of them end up showing up to our later meetings mind you). And she brags to Friend A "AS A JOKE" saying "wow i got so many sign ups while JELLYFISH (me) barely got any."

Then later during a shared class we have together she 'jokes' "you literally stole my spot as vice president," and I look at her weird but then she DOUBLES DOWN and says "you didn't even do anything except sit there."

* this part is where i think I'm being too sensitive (new situation)

I'm friends with a bunch of people outside of my main friendgroup and I like to introduce them to my main friend group. Also friend B and A are kind of new to our friend group *i introduced both of them.* So to put it simply i feel like friend B is trying to replace me. Because she acts certain ways with her own friends but for some reason whenever she talks to my friends which I introduced she kind of takes up my relationship dynamic with them if that makes sense. Like me and one friend (Friend C) would walk to class every single day and I invited friend B to come along. But then she started leaving with friend C without me even though friend C would try to wait.

Idk if I'm overthinking it, do we think she's doing this on purpose or is she just blunt.

hey! I'm a 15 year old sophomore in high school and I have 2 questions to ask 😄

1. My teacher commented on one of my assignments (2 months ago) that extra credit would be applied at the end of the semester and the semester ends in two days (the other teachers' classes has already gotten the 20 points). should i remind her? As a teacher do you like to get reminded of things like this or should I just wait for the semester to end and ask her, I feel like if I do that then I'm being a nuisance tho
2. Idk if my teacher rounds but I'm scared to ask, my grades are 96.5 (a+ is 97) in biology and 97.46 (a+ is 97.5) in english. would u personally round? we don't get to see our scores until the end of the semester and I'm just curious 😃

thats it!!

Ok guys so basically, our entire class bombed this Unit 4 Test a few weeks ago and my teacher was offering up retakes.

She and this other teacher (teacher b ) are the only two teachers who teach this specific subject and they ALWAYS give the same tests, homework, and quizzes

So comes the day of the retake, I come in a little later with like 7 other people after me, everyone is ready to take their test, we take it. We walk out of the classroom and someone tells me that people who got above an 80% were not allowed to retake the test, fair but I literally just took the test because I didn't know that since I missed the instructions part, I had an 81%.

I go to the other teacher's classroom who also was offering retakes and my friend tells me her class didn't have the limit.

So now a few weeks later, everyone else in my class has had their extra credit inputted, their grades going from 68-80 (cuz it was capped and 80) and my extra credit has a little comment that says, extra credit will be applied later. cool right but like weird how she couldn't have juts given me it..

I ask students of teacher B (Not my teacher) and some of them had their grade shoot up because it was 20 points of extra credit possible. One of them went from a 90 to a 110 and their grade was now a 106%, they are given extra credit without the cap. Now I'm confused, because max for my class was a 80% while teacher b's class is getting numbers like 112 or even 118.

Now its a week before the semester ends, my grade is still a B (87%) and i need a 100 on the final if I want to get up to an A (90). She has yet to give me the extra credit she promised. She just made this really passive agressive post on google classroom saying "Do NOT ask me for any more extra credit this semester" and I have no idea what to think because it's against district policy to not give equal extra credit opportunities (like their are several policies in place to stop this and to ensure all students are gauged properly on skill level).

So I have no idea what to do... any advice... idk if I should ask her or not because she's made it pretty clear she is gonna be unfriendly about it, and I don't think she likes me very much. I don't wanna take it up with school administration before I take the final because what if she does something or grades harsher.
