Like I said in the KTL thread on this kid a long time ago, I hope he turns out to be something great, but IQ really is no guarantee.
My IQ was measured very close to this kid's (but not as high--155) when I was a child and while it made me "special" and made school so much of a breeze that I didn't do homework until university, it has its drawbacks. For one, there is an insane amount of pressure to "accomplish" something "great." You're not allowed to be a normal kid anymore. All people start caring about is how smart you are and that sucks because people ignore every other aspect of who you are--they don't care what your hobbies are, who your friends are, that you have issues and sensitivities like everyone else, even what your own dreams are, they just want you to say smart things, get amazing grades, and "achieve" stuff. And because you're really smart you see through everybody, even the adults (also being smarter than 99% of the adults around you as a kid sucks because you know they're oftentimes forcing you to do stupid shyt but don't have the power to do anything about it because you're a kid and they're the adult). It gets old rather quickly. Then you get put in all these advanced programs with all the weird kids and if you actually have social skills as a kid like I did the other really smart kids are generally so weird and socially awkward to become real friends with. So you end up being a mascot for the normal people and an outcast from the smart kids. Then people say you shouldn't rap so much or play so much basketball (which they forced you to play because you were tall and athletic), instead you should read more books--like I didn't read literally the entire library in elementary school. It sucks. People really inadvertently treat you like shyt when you're this smart or special at anything.
But anyway, that's just a little bit of my experience. Hopefully this kid does really fukking well and gets treated like a regular person so as to not become jaded with humanity like I've become. All the best to the young breh.
