Being a raging bitch is a long term problem that will most negatively affect her, however. Not sure what to tell you if she's mimicking the wife.
And you so blithely referring to her as such is not a good sign, either.

In less than 5 years, the GPA and sports will be irrelevant--as soon as she's into the college of her choice, NONE of it matters, academically or professionally.
But I totally agree re the stone cold bitch/whatever was said bit, all of it. Underneath that perfectionist facade is a scared girl who wants love and support, but who thinks she has to be perfect to be loved. This does not change no matter the age of the female (or the male, come to that).
I've never heard of Who's Who for HS students. Ye gods: WHY?
Re the grades and the pressure... School is essentially every adolescent's "job" and I see nothing wrong with wanting or fostering high achievers. It's when it becomes the be all and end all that it gets nasty and warped.
