I was blessed and cursed with 140 IQ and considered gifted. But no one knew what to do with me. I had no social skills as all my classmates seem infantile. I did not understand what made them tick. No one I could talk to about what interested me. I found it was ok not to fit in to groups going no where. Once I discovered God loved everyone the same no mater how smart you were. I could do the same and fit in. I am 72 and still driven to learn more. When I was young I thought I could figure out the Universe completely. Needless to say I did not make it. Remember you may not fit in with the group but you fit into the universe just perfect.

It's not that you had no social skills, it's that everyone else has no social skills. The people with no social skills are always projecting on those who do have them. Saying we are weird, when the fact is that they are completely clueless and petty and cringe.

I'm a gifted student. I got tested for the gifted program in Kindergarten and I've been in it for 9 years, and I have a higher than average IQ of 125-130 about. It's not all great. I'm often told by my friends that I "don't need any help in my classes, you're just being dramatic about being smart." This isn't really true. My papers are covered in doodles from my boredom in class and I have no motivation to go to school. I have my gifted class for 4 hours once a week. That's the only time I get to think. To be challenged and it's awesome and finally all of the kids there can keep up with me and we can keep up with eachother. It's short lived however, because I eventually have all off my classes the rest of the week, being too far ahead, too quiet to be heard, never challenged.

We’re expected to get better grades than the rest on top of doing separate projects for our gifted support classes. Most of the e the normal teachers don’t understand what we need to learn and treat us like normal students. And normal class work doesn’t always come easy. We actually have to work for those grades believe it or not and when we get a b instead of an a we’re judged. She’s right it’s not easy

It’s not easy being a gifted kid, people suppose you’ll always get good grades, but when you don’t, YOU get judged... people need to understand that just because we’re smart, doesn’t mean we’re perfect. Nobody is, so if you’re one of those kids who judges gifted kids when they don’t get the “BEST” grades, stop, it’s annoying.

what you've spoken here is the fact of matter

"Forcing gifted students to relearn information they already know can lead to frustation and boredom." Again, to me, this all relates back to standardized testing. If we truly want to service gifted students, I suggest letting them take their EOC - or SOL - at the begining of the year. Let's teach the things they don't know and spend the rest of the year enriching and adding onto the knowledge they already have.

Not to mention getting harassed over a magazine I started reading in the Niceville High School library. Back when they kept it open in the morning for early arrivals.

18-25% of gifted students drop out before they reach graduation! Wow! I think we could directly correlate this statistic to standardized testing. We are told that gifted students need to learn to appy what they learn and find real world connections to their learning. Then we turn around and judge their progress - and ours - on how well they perform on a state-mandated standardized test!

I remember Mrs Case saying the were going to expurgate my grades for doing so well in the first grade. This is back when I had a Roget's (George Mason University) dictionary.

I sadly cannot relate to practically any of the anxiety memes. I dont really experience that, though the hardest part is being smarter then other gifted kids. My class has always not relate to those in other classes, as well as feeling appressed by them. Being more eager to learn means we often already do know a lot of what we learn, and it is so hard to have even teachers who dont know how to teach us. I hope that people stop believing us as unworthy of different learning, and begin helping us a bit more. I want to be a lawyer, and love writing essyas, so it is exttemely upsetting when we dont do that very often in my grade, grade 7. I just hope society can help us. Im going to be real, I have never once related to a comment or meme about being gifted in my entire life. Never get judged, never get held to high standards, in actuality though 97% make me sad, it by no means makes me feel appressed by other people like it seems other gifted students do. Idk

I was identified as gifted when I was 7 years old. My mom interpreted this as a chance to boast...she dumped loads of work on me, signed me up for a lot of extra-curricular activities, and pretty much forced me to do things I didn't like. That was hell. Now I have no motivation whatsoever, and my parents question why. Hello, it was your fault! It was your fault for thinking that gifted children simply need more work! It was your fault that you dumped all that work on me, taking time away from doing things I loved! It was your fault that you didn't truly research what a gifted child NEEDS! AND YOU DEFINITELY DIDN'T NEED TO MAKE ME STAND OUT FROM MY FRIENDS! The worst part? They don't want me to take another test because they're afraid I won't be deemed 'gifted' again. I hate them. They've made my life so difficult...I just want to be normal.. I'm sure I'm not gifted anymore, if that's possible. I don't want to be gifted. It's a curse, not a gift.

There's no way to be un-gifted, and gifted kids generally stand out among others even when unidentified. I feel sorry about what your parents did to you, but you couldn't be "normal" even before. Trust me, Don't try to be normal, I tried, and turns out it is called mental autodestruction and feels horrible. I'm gifted, and I live in a country where gifted programs Don't exist, and it means rejection by most people for unspoken reasons (being weird, being "uninteresting", having weirdo interests, being "immature", having an abnormal behavior) and even when you know you are gifted, you're not supposed to talk about it. It's a taboo. This year i happen to be in a 60%+ gifted Classroom, and it is a RELIEF. it is the sanest place I have ever been too. Finally I can actually talk to people. I hope for you that you'll find your "sane place" too. Try to remember what you hoped for when you were 7. You were probably right about life. One is Always right about life BEFORE being "disilusioned" .Hopeful Illusions on life are typically founded. Try to remember who you were before you learnt who you were supposed to be. You're still the same person, really. Gifted really is the worst term. The positive aspects will get jealoused, and the negative aspects will get ignored. People tend to have misplaced jealousy. The problem is, there's no really good terms. (in France some use "Zebra" because it puts the emphasis on the atypism more than on school stuff) You Don't need to be motivated only for school-y subjects. Motivation can be found in the most niche, un-mainstream areas. They still matter. (I'm really into languages except the ones school teaches; I'm into computing but not programming, love the part of writing that isn't useful at school like alphabets and calligraphy and cryptography but hate actually writing and redacting which is physically painful, and I have a nearly encyclopedical knowledge in Disney duck comics. Just because these interest aren't schoolish does not mean they are useless or no one else cares.) Of course gifted kids do not need more of the same work. They need different, more complex work, and less exercises/repetition/revision as it is actually nefast for gifteds. Always remember, if you are quirky and/or socially awkward and/or highly sensitive and/or emotionally Young, it is DEFINITELY BECAUSE you are gifted. This is what gifted means, it doesn't mean "get straight a's to please parents". It doesn't mean "privileged". Your "quirks" are not faults you should get rid of, but mental characteristics you are entitled to have. I really wish you good luck. I hope you'll find your oasis. You have the right to adapt the rest of the world to you.

More work sucks. Also, being gifted actually has some downsides that tend to have worse social skills and higher risk for mental illness. With high work loads and a risk for mental disease, it can be stressing because we have more expectations on us.

Being gifted is sometimes not really the best. Being held as the "smart" one can make you feel tons of pressure when everyone expects you to know everything. Even teachers do this sometimes. Some people need to understand that we ARE gifted, but we are still human beings.

Being exceptionally smart and getting perfect grades is a sign of brilliance too. But not necessarily of giftedness. Ask yourself this: Have you ever asked yourself why you're so different? Do you feel strange compared to those of your age? Do you space out a lot and have complex inner worlds? Would you rather hang out with people older than you? Do you think that if you turn out to not be gifted something must be wrong with you? Because if you answered yes to most of those, you're probably gifted, and if not, you must be brilliant.

Another episode of Daniel L Newhouse's adventures in Joe Ann Tabor's gifted studies: The problem with infidelity is that women can prosper from it and x-husband's lives are always devastated. There was an episode of Law and Order. It involved a married couple with one of them being Christopher Lee. There was a book called "Giving in to Love," that was about a woman's proper role in a married relationship. It sounded a bit condescending. But. The husband asked his wife to do something. She didn't do this. She want on to fame and fortune. Her x-husband killed his eldest son's wife. He lied about it! At first. Actually, I don't think they suspected him. So, he got fired and lost everything. And he was a witness at trial. His son was on trial for killing his wife. He went to the stand, and described exactly how he killed his son's wife! He wasn't on trial. So they convicted him anyway. They called it "one heck of a plea bargain." Rush Limbaugh says he'll kill me for bringing this up. I bring it up, because language is the basis of love.
