Everyone should celebrate anyone's positive accomplishments, no snarky or dickish comments needed. Don't like that they got a blog post? Don't read it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Thanks for the recommendations! He is very gifted in math and science . He is going to an enrichment camp this summer where they build robots or something. He has been OK socially, in fact very popular, but he has a super high self esteem. Like he could not care less what people think of him, which works now, maybe…

Thank you for the link!

Thank you!

Yass great advice, thank you!

Thank you I will!

Howdy genius! Even before we knew exactly how smart he is, we have always expected a lot from him. If he missed answers on tests or homework or whatever, we have always gone through the incorrect answers. He is friends with a couple kids in gifted that he had classes and clubs with, so that's good. Our fam has a…

My son is 9. I just want him to embrace the opportunities, but not feel he has to do everything. Like I want to make the most of his opportunities, but with the least effort on his part ( excluding feeling challenged). And homeperson, I have read some of your comments and you are brilliant!

Thank you. I am worried about that, too. He is getting so many club offers, it's hard to figure out a path. I want him to be challenged, but comfortable.

I am hoping for a bit of a small fish in a bigger pond scenario. Like he will feel motivated to meet his new academic expectations. Truth be ashamedly told, I told everyone ( family and friends) when I found out. I see that more as a mistake now, but I was excited!

Thanks! I appreciate your input. I do wanna ask how you personally felt? Where you scared? Or did you feel different? Like you had more responsibility as a kid? I am trying to gauge him, but it's hard to get him to talk about it.

OK, mommy brag. My son's father and I just had him evaluated by a psychologist and he scored into gifted. Like his IQ is higher than 90 percent of people. Like Mensa gifted. I am so extremely proud but I feel worried that it is too much pressure now. I swear a switch flipped and he went from happy go lucky to super…

I appreciate the sentiment, but sometimes too much dick can be a good thing :)

Excellent!

Since I am not an evil person, I sincerely hope you or your family is not in her or Trayvon's position, ever. And I am willing to bet Jeantal didn't want to be there or be in her position, but Zimmerman murdering Trayvon when he did made that out of her control. There is no way to know who would be there for your…

I hope for your family member's sake they never have to testify at the volatile, televised, much debated murder trial of one of their close friends.

If that is even true, so? Does it hurt you mentally or physically to let someone else shine and be great for a moment? Would you tell a family member "So fucking what you graduated high school in the US. Next time try it in Singapore." Then smash their congratulations grad cake?

You know, let them get their sad life. The only kind of trolls I don't mess with are the faux inquisitive comments, trying to start shit by framing their ignorance in an inflammatory question. I like my bigots to keep it real so I know exactly where they stand and exactly how to tell them to fuck off.

No, she's amazed that she dealt with having being party to the murder of her friend, the scrutiny, the pressure of being in the public eye, and the AHEM people saying terrible things about her and she still achieved her goals.

Are you being sarcastic? Or seriously wishing she does poorly in life? Help raise people up or hold ALL of us down.
