"However, gifted students also face unique societal and cultural obstacles, Cross added. For instance, within their own families, they can encounter ridicule, misunderstanding or mixed messages about their giftedness. At school, too, they can be singled out and teased by peers. Many try to hide their talents in an effort to blend in while others attempt to find ways to completely lose the gifted label by acting in an opposite manner." https://www.wm.edu/news/stories/2013/cross-book-explores-suicide-among-the-gifted123.php[/quote]
