[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I cheer every GE kid who outperforms the gifted kids. All-life-long. Gifted community, we do not wish you well.

(though hope the suicide comment wasn't a genuine concern)[/quote]

I am glad you added the parenthetical, as it is a genuine concern for my DD.[/quote]

I'm a pp, a few pages back, with a DC that is heading down this path I fear.  She's only in 4th grade now, but she falls into a highly-gifted personality type that has a higher chance of dropping out of school, abusing drugs/alcohol, suicide, etc.

She has an IG over 150 and came home from her base school crying most days (from K-2) from being made fun of everyday.  The center has been so much better since she has found a few others kids with similar personalities/academic interests.

[b]I have more fears about this DC growing into a productive part of society than my GE kid who is smart, funny, and manages relationships better in 1st grade than my older one in 4th grade.

You know, everyone watches Big Bang Theory and thinks it's funny, but when you have a kid like Sheldon it's not so funny with all of the issues that level of IQ and personality can bring. [/b] Amen to this-my smart but ADHD 2 E kid is WAY harder to parent on a day to day basis-would gladly sacrifice some IQ points for greater normalcy in both of our lives.

Apparently, now this thread is a contest for who has it worst.[/quote]
Come now, that's what every thread here is about ultimately.  You're just feeling left out for a change. [/quote]

It's sad that as an adult you feel justified making fun of serious issues that some families face.  Shows your maturity level. [/quote]
