Is it normal that i obsess over my grades...?

I get pretty decent grades and when I score a bad grade I immediately go through depression for at least 2 weeks. During that time I study so much I get headaches. And now, because I am getting a 3.96 GPA, not a 4.0, I feel horrible and empty. I know you might be like: be grateful you at least are in the Honor Roll. BUT I AM REALLY SAD. I was crying through the night for two nights. Is it normal?

    More to life than a high GPA

    Did you parents always push you to do harder and get mad when you got a bad grade? That could be why you try so hard.

    Regardless, I'm glad you study hard and do good in school, not many people care about their education these days. But try giving yourself a break every once in a while and reward yourself when you get good grades. Not every one is smart like you are and no one is 100% perfect so don't get down on yourself about that. And not to make it worse but not a lot of jobs look at your GPA. But if you have a good GPA its always a good thing to have to put on your resume. Just relax you're stressing yourself out too much.

    Normal depending on your culture.
