>I've always used different aspects of my character in different situations. I was the kid who used to make her nose bloody to get out of first grade, and the kid who played a solo on the violin with an orchestra when I was 7. I was very functional when it came to dealing with teachers. I was very dysfunctional when it came to dealing with kids my own age. I went through some periods I don't remember well at all. I remember always being chunky but not all my pictures bear that out.
*mebbe I've said this B4 LL, but I have a very gifted very high in the percentiles relative.
You might think being 'smart' is a good thing.....well, when a kid is extreemly gifted it is actaually handicapped. Their minds work differently, and while in SOME ways they seem so very smart, in other ways they are very less able. Social interaction with peers is one. They often find school very boring and do badly cuz they are bored, not cuz they can't do the work. They (I hate too LUMP this into a group) I guess I should make it clear that these things I say are characteristics common to gifted kids, and there are many differences/exceptions/ etc.
I guess what I am trying to say is it has been very hard for this relative. He is a teen and struggles ALOT. His Mom does the best she can to get him the best support she can. But its not easy.
I wonder if this challenge has been piled on to your challenges of growing up?
I only say this so that if it is so, maybe then it can help you to better undertand yourself too.
Thats all.
Hope you can chill out some OK.
Thanks for your reply.
