"Texas Hold'em Poker - What happens if you have the same hand."

At school we play poker with M&M's and i watch Late night poker on Discovery channel. And im sure i know all the rules and at school 2 of us got the same hand (lets say a jack in our hand and a jack in the river)

Now im sure that the money is split because nothing else can happen. But this guy claims the other card decides what wins (being a high card. But i think only an ace can be a high card) Say he had a queen as well as the jack and i only had a 10.

So he took the M&M's. But i'm sure this isnt right.

Does any one know?
