Hey, Buddy. It's normal, and not only have you experienced it, but I've also gone through it before. If you are overly concerned with how others perceive your academic performance at school, you will lose focus and may perform worse than you expected. The reality is that in universities, you will meet many people whose level of knowledge is incomparable to yours, and this is simply their natural gift that you cannot compete with.

When you meet people like that, make friends with them to make yourself better in school and try to pass in the university. When you start to see it as a big competition, you'll lose the most important thing you need from them. Brainstorming is the best thing to do in this situation if you want to succeed like them and ignore what others at home think of you as long as you pass your exams and advance to the next level.
