I always wonder what happens to child prodigies and high school non-profit/ business founders we read stories about. Same newspapers should do follow up stories about journeys of some of these people. It wouldn't only be interesting for human curiosity but would give parents and psychologists some insight. Is there any reliable study on this topic?

| Most of the nonprofit/businesses just end, they were temp toy gigs for college admissions. |

They aren't prodigies. Prodigies are the rare few something many years ahead of their peers' ability, not normal youth behavior with a PR push from parents.

Or go off the deep end. Like murder-suicide type stuff. |

I read an article that when their peers catch up to them in science and technologies and other fields that it upsets them that they are no longer unique or special.

So true! Im embarrassed that I used to be impressed by these business "prodigies" who just got their parents to do all the work on the back end. |

Most top level students can expedite high school and college to graduate years ahead of their peers, their parents chose not to do that. |
