I’m a 13 year old girl. My IQ is 143, and I’m part of a few gifted groups. I still feel like s***, because every time I look at the other kids in my gifted group, they’re taking 6 AP classes, and playing 5 instruments, and learning 10 languages, and researching this and engineering that and doing this scholarship, and I have barely gotten over being suicidal because I’m so close, yet so far from being one of those wonderful little kid geniuses. And I know intellect isn’t everything–but I don’t volunteer, or play sports either. Not that I can do the latter, now that my weak muscles can’t support my crooked, scoliosis spine. I wish I was either a genius, or not “gifted” at all but healthier and happier.
