This is an example of misbehavior. Students engaging in proactive behaviors act in a way that results in feelings of control, competence, and connectedness. When students have exhibited patterns of misbehavior for extended periods of time, it is important to address the motivational underpinnings of the student's misbehavior.
Jealousy is a factor present in almost all human beings and is not restricted to any age limit. When we see our fellow students or even colleges performing better than us and being praised, this factor automatically emerges in us and we try to become a hurdle in others work. We intentionally target them and work very hard against spoiling their performance and damaging their personality and image.
