i’ve always wondered the reason to why the majority of extremely gifted kids end up average in adulthood. whether it is just an accelerated development or they are let down by an education system that doesn’t work

[@Thedarkknight2244]

Also intelligence doesn’t necessarily equal success. Or monetary success anyway. Scientists get that way through a dedication in their field and just reading a bunch around that subject. Scientists don’t earn that much anyway, but a reasonable amount of people could get to that point with the right contacts and work put. Investment bankers aren’t necessarily smart. Doctors are only really good at aptitude tests which get you into the school. And that’s just memory work and having the right prep. The degree it self is mostly recall work. I presume it’s the same with lawyers. On the converse, engineers and stem people are just good at maths, but not much recall required. If you read and practice the correct amount of questions, anyone can succeed.

Billy Madison thumbnail. Nice. But yeah, this shit happened to me. Public school sucked because it was too easy, the other kids were nearly impossible to relate to, there was nothing there for me to pursue, and I became so dejected during my adolescence I almost dropped out of high school. In life, I dropped out of Community College seven times, never could hold a mostly mindless job for one year, and eventually escaped from several mental institutions. However, I did quit my opioid addiction all on my own, learned how to tell shitheads to fuck off, and I am certainly not powerless when it comes to my drinking.

you hit the nail on the head about the lack of advanced programs and gifted kids getting depressed in school. I struggled with depression from third grade to graduation, there was no one I could talk to about it. my parents were psychologically and physically abusive narcissists, so that's out. my peers literally understand half the words I say because they don't read. once I was taught how multiplication and division worked I didn't learn anything useful in school for 8 years that I didn't already know. we touched on algebra then and literally advanced math was the only thing I hadn't had access to. I don't know man it took a long time to get over that shit, and nobody fucking cares about your problems because they're like oh you're so smart you figure it out. like bitch you're 35 and I'm 9 and we're intellectually on par, you being jealous does not absolve you from your responsibility as an adult and a caregiver.

What do likeable kids do and say? wear? how do they treat other kids? And copy that. ALL of it. That's what i did. It's not hard: just change a few speech patterns, change the topic of conversation (TV shows, gossip), be nice, non-confrontational, wear a cheap copy of a cool shirt. It's not ALL the time. And it's nicer to have friends. insincere? if wearing a different shirt and communicating MORE effectively with smart AND dumb people is not "true to your self," then you got bigger problems.

The 'problem' is the lack of schools that foster the development of gifted children. If a gifted child is forced through public schools, all you're done for 12-13 years is kill any interest they have in learning, because what interests them simply isn't taught.

I remember I showed up to regents over an hour late and still finished way before anyone and was the first to leave lmao.

I lucked out in that I went to a grade school that had more advanced classes for us so I got a decent start (though I definitely still self taught a lot), but then I ended up moving down south in middle school and they were literally like two, three full years behind where I was. Here I was doing Algebra and Geometry in 8th grade and move to a school district where they're learning how to reduce fractions. I'd get into shit with my teachers because they'd tell me I was setting a bad example by just sitting at my desk in the back reading a book, like it's my responsibility to pretend to be engaged listening to them prattle about stuff that was years below my ability. And it totally did get me stuck in dead end jobs as an adult because of the crap I got wrapped up in being bored to tears all those years sapped all my motivation to do any goddamn thing. It took me over a decade of wasted years before finally hitting my breaking point and going back to school. It sucked ass having to do that crap with a full time job and a family and stuff on top of it. Things worked out in the end but man I wish I would have had better educational opportunities in middle and high school, I would have saved so many years and be so much farther along in life today if I had...

When scapgoated for asking questions: Melissa Kirk claimed that she was a teacher of Human Design, however, after I had to leave the program because of the bullying, she started to do a beginners course in the IHD school. I was in this course, too. MELISSA KIRK seems to have had a trouble to even understand my questions. MELISSA KIRK started to attacking me for asking her that what she claims about the topic is different than in the reference book. She was not able to even understand what I was talking about. Later, others in the online course asked after these incorrect claims Baeth Davis (they had to do a test and having false information could cause failing the test) and Davis had to correct Melissa KIrk. This has been happening over and over. I mean that the basics of Human Design is not that difficult. Especially if you are really a good student and a good teacher. Since this time, it seems that Melissa Kirk started to keep an eye of bully on me. Later Melissa Kirk had been using different technics of bullying on me: deflecting my questions, talking about something general, not related to my question at all, shutting me down, spending really minimum time with me. Later she started to be attacking me with spiritual gaslight: telling what a bad personality and nasty personality I have, basically what a jerk and horrible person I am. Later Melissa Kirk, a competent bully, had been attacking me for asking questions: I WAS NOT ALLOWED FOR MY MONEY to ask questions. Due to Melissa Kirk I was asking stupid questions, wrong questions etc. She started to openly verbally bully me and shaming me publicly. All this bullying had been recorded and had been displayed on in the internet, possibly sold to others. I was solving this with the owner of the company Baeth Davis. It took very long time and it was solved that I am "resistant" to teachings of Melissa Kirk. The company does not give refunds, so I had to stay in the course. Baeth Davis confirmed to me in an online paid Human Design session with her that yes, I was bullied by Melissa Kirk in the program of the YOUR PURPOSE company and I DESERVE TO BE BULLIED. She as well was very aggressive and rude to me for "ASKING QUESTIONS" and for ASKING WRONG QUESTION. BAETH DAVIS WAS LITERALLY YELLING AT ME. Baeth Davis seems to lure out of me the money while she knew that she will likely abuse me because, as she said " I DESERVE TO BE BULLIED" and paying money the bully. I want my 3500 USD back that Baeth Davis has stolen from me I guess that I have the right for further financial endommagement for the bullying and online defamations.

Nice explanation. I sadly have a bullying experience concerning "giftedness". I was scapegoated by MELISSA KIRK in an online course Human Design run by company Your PURPOSE, owned by Baeth Davis. I paid 3500 USD for this. It was advertised as a personality typology teaching, aimed at gifted people. Baeth Davis claims to be gifted and to help highly gifted people to assess their personalities and find their exact niche in their profession. Baeth Davis had mistakenly advertised that the program will be taught by her. However, it was taught by some Melissa Kirk. She was advertised a a teacher of Human Design with a certification. This appeared not to be true. However, I was bullied in her online course by MELISSA KIRK over a longer period of time. Baeth Davis had stolen my 3500 USD and does not want to return it. She never responded. I come from a developing relatively poor country, nothing in comparison to rich American collecting money from some poor people (I apologize for all good American people who are not like Baeth Davis) and I would have expected that when she advertised her program as educational program for talented people that I will be not bullied there.
