[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was this child, and weirdly what helped me was to attend an extremely competitive and elite boarding school. I had freedom that my mother at her wits end would never have allowed me had I stayed at home. I bombed some early relationships and basic hygiene tasks. My grades were awful the first year. But I loved it and eventually thrived. I was surrounded by brilliant people and everyone and all their ideas were so interesting all the time. For the first time I was so far away from being the smartest person in the room, and it was incredible. Set my life on a wonderful trajectory and improved my relationship w my overprotective sheltering mother a million times [/quote]
^ and the smartest people were also the ones working the hardest, with great study and organizational skills, who valued being well-rounded etc. I learned so much from moving into a dorm at 14 and am so glad my mom trusted me to do it. She was probably just relieved to get me out of the house haha[/quote]
