Child prodigy's failing when they grow up

I think that everyone wants to be treated the same in some respects. I'm sure these kids like the fact they're 'special' but would love the normalcy that being ordinary provides. There's so much pressure on them. There's so much expectation and you grow up fast and they miss out on fun and being silly and it's a massive shame. I think the biggest crime is that people aren't allowed to grow up pure. That is to say, we are all influenced by each other. We all have to deal with other peoples problems as well as our own and everyone trys to influence us. When you're one of these kids, you can imagine all the crap they have to deal with and you know what? You mention Asia, from what I gather, she's turned out fine. Happy. And I think that's a mistake on your part to include her and maybe one or two others because the key question is this - are they happy? Or to put it another way, are they happier? Asia wasn't happy growing up by all accounts, now she is. Yes the world missed out but so did she. Being a child prodigy is tough because it attracts an element of society that's very controlling and very negative in a child's evolution. I think it's a shame that these kids aren't just allowed to be kids because it might actually encourage them to pursue their field of expertise as opposed to abandoning it for happiness.

Most child prodigies, most of the times, are treated in a really unique way. Parents and teachers tend to think they are going to achieve everything if they are forced to practice everytime or treated as an emperor. Both ways of treating them is absolutely wrong in that sense that they are not let live a healthy social life. That means two things: -they are perfect in theair areas, but they wouldn't be hired as they are socially awkward... no matter how competent you are, if you are hard to work with (because you're conceited or too reserved or just can't decipher basic gestures and signs), you're not going to be hired -no childhood means that they feel burnt out at a really young age, and that could cause them study, but not seeing why they are doing that and become indifferent and nihilistic.

Hello CaptainALbert, I felt sad about these Gifted people, yeah, I've watch Asia Carera's videos. But i didn't realize how smart and talented she was. they were a lot of many people even in our country who chose to live a normal life, something part of the society rather than isolated from it. too bad i think strong character plays a bigger role, and she couldn't take it anymore
