That sounds exactly like me in school.Quote:

This kid should stop learning math and start learning English.
I'm a top percentile myself. My parents actually tried to advance me in elementary school, but after a semester I demanded that they let me go back. I wanted to be around kids my age, all I got was hate from the older kids that I was consistently beating in every subject.
Hell at least you graduated. I dropped out of HS. I just lost any interest in going at all. Classes were dull and pointless, I found better learning experiences reading things myself and doing drugs.Quote:

I'm in the same boat as Josh and Nick, reading and talking pre-age 1, not top one percent but maybe the top two or three, except unlike Josh I did really well in school until 9th grade. That year, we moved to Illinois and 2 things happened:
1) I lost all of my friends, the top kids at school and my peers/rivals and had to learn how to socialize all over again, and I learned that I didn't have to be some stuck-up elitist smartfuckwad
2) Because the state of Illinois is fucking retarded, my entire 9th grade was spent retreading everything I learned in 8th.
That was the end of that, I no longer had any enthusiasm for school, and when we moved back here because of 9th grade I was no longer on the super-accelerated path. I still have problems with school, because I learned I can be super successful without even really attending. It's why I haven't graduated from college yet, I have taken too many breaks to pursue other interesting things.
However at this point in my life my big problem is that I find too many things interesting, and I can't focus on specializing in an area that will be giving me a career.
At my b-day party I ran 11 games in a row before losing, and only because the other team made two balls in one cup on their first round to insta-end the game. The kicker: my teammate was moving the cup out of the way as the ball hit, if he had left it on the table they would have missed.Quote:
