where's that post about how USamericans talk about gifted kid programs like it was a supersoldier program. it makes me laugh so hard
#y'all have made the so-called gifted kid experience feel so totally unrelatable#i always loved being the so called smartest in class#still do#no angst about it#like yeah i was bullied but it wasn't because i was smart. it was bc i was fat and had poor social skills and tbh#you don't need to be gifted to be bullied for those reasons#my experience was weird bc i always had the best grades etc but never actually made it into any of the programs#my score for the IQ test was actually too low#which is funny. maybe i'm just insane#my best friend in hs did make it into the program and he definitely did think he was smarter than me for that reason#but now he is in the navy and i am not so. speaks for itself#WAIT. supersoldier program omfg ...#also i say gifted experience in the same way that like. idk. being part of math club can be an experience#it's not a real inherent thing to you as a person#i just get annoyed at how ppl talk about it like it makes them part of an oppressed class like dude omfg. even as a kid#i knew i wasn't being bullied for being smart. in fact it was honestly the only part of me that made ppl think i had social value#which is fucked up. but it's not oppression for being smart
