The worst experience is when your teacher accuses you of cheating to the point of making you cry just because her own mind limitations. Well, you, as a gifted individual, will never forget such event.
It is so true that we need to Start teaching every Student to find and develop their unique strengths in stead of cutting off those who doesn't fit in. So many potentially great minds never unfold because they where told they aren't gold if they don't fit in
Good point however it comes at the cost of formative reform which people in government offices find uncomfortable and hard to micro-manage, if it acted formalistic it is different.
In one year of Elementary school, I got in trouble for filling out the first few pages of the workbook within a few minutes of receiving it. In another year of Elementary school, I was told 'parasol' wasn't a word even though I knew better. Eventually, I was identified as a gifted individual. The best two years of my life followed, filled with great field trips and unique opportunities. But after elementary school, it was as if giftedness 'wasn't a thing'. I was no longer the special one in class whom the teachers knew they could rely on to help with the other kids. I was no longer the one who was allowed free time to read what I wanted to. Instead, I was the troublemaker kid. I was the 'smart, but just doesn't show it' kid. I was at the end of my rope. It took two years after dropping out of that torturer's funhouse that is high school to find out the true source of my struggles. The American education system is an extremely anti-gifted environment. Only the lucky few of us who have supportive parents make it through. And even then, it's typically through alternative or non-traditional schooling.
This has also been my experience. However, I didn't drop out of high school because I still believed that University would paradise. That turned out to be false. I've spent my entire life trying to find a path that accommodates both my intelligence and invisible physical disabilities. Right now, I'm dropping out of med school after 2.5 years due to boredom, frustration, a complete disregard for ethics by my peers and professors, not to mention the preference of personal biases over science-based thinking. One of the most important things I've learned is that everyone hates the person who actually thinks and comes up with the right answer. The world is full of people who, in all honesty, just want to feel good about themselves, whether or not they're actually doing good. Frustration is the best word for my experience. I miss the gifted program from elementary school.

In grade school I would finish my work within minutes waiting for my classmates to catch up I often found myself bored and already aware of the knowledge they were trying to teach me, I thought it was a normal thing until I got myself in trouble on purpose one day and I got sent to detention. While I was there I was talking to my teacher and she started asking me a lot of questions & I was very happy to be talking to her because she seemed to understand me. After that day she called my mom and told me I should be put into a gifted class. I was like girl why do I need to be put in gifted & she just explained that my mind was very intelligent for a 7 year old. Even to this day I’m 19 people often mistaken me for being in my late 20’s based off of the way I talk and have wisdom. Still to this day I’m not sure as to how I became gifted but my mom even moved me to a different state to try to help train my mind and grow my giftedness. I played sports played instruments learned a different language, etc. but I still never found what I loved to do until I turned 18 and started doing UA-cam
I also struggle with being in the real world. I’ve worked jobs with older people who often times looked down on me due to my age, but was very shocked of how fast I caught on to things that they felt intimidated and has cost me a lot of jobs, I can’t help it though I don’t know how to be “normal”
Little bit touching, most canny orientated; desk-ed in front of un-cogitating knowledge gets bored eventually, suggestively terming it was not your intellectual age category: could have been build on by placing progressive fluency in your school system, you also indicate misplacement of environment: agonized by increase in Intel. which is common, it's story as interpreted as is; UA-cam is more suited on punchy elements of stories, wish you the best and good luck trying to make the best out of expelling conditions.

Being "gifted" is like making a down payment on a house, then paying the mortgage for 30 years, and only *after* that you *_might_* be allowed to live in the house... but then again you might not. You have to pay either way, and there is no opting out. Unfortunately, my parents *never* accepted I was gifted, and still don't. There is some personality conflict there: they tend toward conformist thinking, and are terrified of being exceptional. (Probably an effect of 12 years of pre-Vatican II Catholic School education.) Also, I suspect some pathological attachment (being a first-born son) leading to infantilizing parenting and an unwillingness to allow my personal individuation. (And it does not apply to my siblings.) I paid a high price up front, and continue to pay for my differentness, and I have yet to find a way to make it work for me, outside university.
That's hard, you've pointed out a common(differentiates somewhat per region) harsh lives exercise, really wish you the best, and hope there won't be pitfalls.
3:57 - 4:05 That's it,that's the story of my life That girl described my existence in a few words The things with gifted people is that so many people have this stereotype of the genius anime kid but in reality there are so many different types of gifted people.

All children are talented its all about water them correctly @ the right season to get them to bloom. As long as they are born healthy there is no reason they can not be great.
All kids might be talented but only 2% are gifted (gifted is a relatively rare neural condition that induces a more intense processing of information). And not every gifted kid is wealthy, they are everywhere.
"Intelligent but had the emotional sensitivity of a five y old. " this sentence describes so much that I felt she was talking specifically about me.

I was challenged in school for cheating in homework, but I fighted back.

I've been unravelling my gifted mind since my 20s
Thank you for posting.

SHE’S MY MENTOR AND SHE IS EXCELLENT
I was expecting her to bring up capitalism any second lol. great talk still
All children are talented its all about water them correctly @ the right season to get them to bloom. As long as they are born healthy there is no reason they can not be great.
correct... hoowever gifted brains are measurable different and work differently.
All kids might be talented but only 2% are gifted (gifted is a relatively rare neural condition that induces a more intense processing of information). And not every gifted kid is wealthy, they are everywhere.
Brandi Law you are correct
The piquant celery premenstrually desert because rice relatively call for a young lumber. reminiscent, careless child
I loved her speech...but those hips...multi-talented, lol. Luckily guy that’s catches her...don’t let her go!!!
Men can be such simpletons lmao
Ew, stop sexualising people! How would you feel if someone said that to you with a leer?
Funny and I agree however be little bit careful the impression is not always favorable.
