Subject: How do you tell this to your parents? Gifted comprehension

You say you are gifted, yet you complain about having to clean your room or people not fully tolerating what seems to be habitual forgetfulness. You are definitely still a kid, no matter how awesome you perceive yourself to be.

Giftedness does not imply maturity, and maturity in your matters is more important.

More to the point, get over yourself for gods sake. Respect your parents authority and work on improving yourself, not getting others to change just for you.

"Why did I even do this?"
...56 translations later we get:
"What?"

Also does your father own any firearms? You don't want this happening, now do you?

I'm sorry, do you own the house in which you and your family live? If not, it's not really your room, is it?

The shallowest people are those who think they're deeper than everyone else.
Everyone thinks they are better and special in some way...

Sometimes it's true,EX: you may be better at halo or more buff than me, but your probably not as skilled at me at guitar hero or halo.

My point is, everyone is better than everyone at something.

And if your not, your dick is probably bigger than the dude who is better than you at everything you like.

Also OP, no matter smart you are, it doesn't mean -blam!- if you're an arrogant and immature prick about it.

In a time long past, the armies of the dark came again to the lands of men. Their leaders became known as the fallen lords, and their terrible sorcery was without equal in the west.
In 30 years they reduced the civilized nations into carrion and ash. Until the free city of Madrigal alone defined them. An army gathered there, and a desperate battle was joined against the fallen
Heros were born in the fire and bloodshed of the wars which followed and their names and deeds will never be forgotten

My parents don't go into my room, they called it a Halo shrine.

I am a nerd, I am also 18

:/

My bro is in gifted, but I have a 4.4 GPA.

Basically, it's a blog of mine that focuses on military and policy related issues. Feel free to bookmark it and PM me any ideas you have to improve its quality. I hope you enjoy it!

OP, you were, by all standards, being arrogant by mentioning that you're gifted. There was absolutely no reason to add that you are gifted and, as a result, I have lost respect for you and your intelligence. A girl in my anthropology class quoted a man, who, for the life of me, I cannot remember "People who care don't matter, and people matter don't care."

Take heed to those words, young OP. Those who are truly smart need not to mention it, because their words will reflect their intellect.

Stupidity, when sufficiently advanced, is indistinguishable from magic

That's not what that means at all.

First off... No, I don't know what you're implying by "gifted". Secondly, it seems to me you simply need to prioritize your life. For example,

I have to have a girlfriend, I have to have a lot of friends, I have to do a lot of stuff, I have to look well, talk well, walk well, smell good! I have to be able to talk to everybody in the grade, from the bozo's to the populars! I have to give everybody full, undivided attention! I have to Airsoft! I have to go to the park!
Doesn't seem like things you have to do. The life of a teenager is simple. Do well in school. Notice I said well. Not perfect. Join some clubs, get decent grades and make a handful of friends. Don't bother with getting a bunch of friends. Half of them will forget you six months after graduation.

Secondly. Just do what your parents ask, and you'll get a bit more freedom and leniency. If you do this already, and don't put up a fight about it every time you have to take out the trash, then simply talk to them about it. Try and have a rational discussion with them.

TL;DR: Prioritize your life, listen to your parents, stay in school. As Einstein said, "Do not worry about your problems [with mathematics], I assure you mine are far greater".

I sincerely doubt you're gifted.

You don't have to hang out with friends. School comes first, you have all weekend to hang out with friends provided you've finished your homework.

Cleaning cat boxes, setting tables, and doing dishes don't take up a lot of time. Seriously, at most those things combined will take you 20 minutes.

So I am 13 years old and in 8th grade. And I am gifted. For those who know what I am mean, I am seriously gifted to a level.

You know what kind of people I really don't like? Arrogant people.


You know what is funny? I consider myself to be fairly arrogant, but I hate the OPs post. I think it is because you are openly flaunting your supposed superiority. However it is incredibly evident that within your first paragraph you attempt to write like you are sitting with a -blam!- thesaurus by your side. You use unnecessarily words awkwardly in an attempt to seem more intelligent, and it is annoying is essentially what I am saying.
