[quote=Anonymous]Have you told him it's great that he's smart, but that intelligence alone doesn't get anyone anywhere? I know a kid who is apparently a genius, but he can't manage his life at all. He decided that his verbal talent was all he needed to succeed in life and doing homework in any other classes was beneath him. His parents encouraged this line of thought and actually did his homework for him. In college. He was put on probation at his Ivy League university and was forced to take a year off. He did absolutely nothing during that year, which was fine with his parents because he's just so special and can't be expected to hold a job like a regular person. He is now in his late 20s and has been doing nothing since college, other than less than one semester in a graduate program he dropped out of. No job, no ambition, just living off his parents. But he's really really smart. :roll: [/quote]
