Everybody at my school thinks boy is a super genius?

<p>He’s a sophomore and he always gets high grades in class.
He got a 33 on the act in the 7th grade and he can do math problems fast in his head and recite information that he memorized.</p>

<p>He can memorize a lot I guess?
He got a lightsaber program off the internet, put it on his calculator and wow’d everybody with it.</p>

<p>People say he’s a super genius and one of the smartest kids in the country.
This is in south alabama by the way.</p>

<p>It just ticks me off. People are ALWAYS ignoring true genius. I see a couple kids with great creativity who come up with OUT OF THE BOX! solutions to problems! And they pass it off as “Oh, he’s just wierd.”</p>

<p>Ya know, He MIGHT be a genius idk… or just really smart. He’s definately a smart kid. But he doesn’t show signs of genius…and he DEFINATELY doesn’t show signs of super geniuses</p>

<p>Look up kids who have performed surgery at age of 7. Look up man who can recite pi to 22,345th place. THOSE ARE SUPER GENIUSES.
Not somebody who can score a 33 on the act and show off his calculator hacks</p>

<p>“Genius” is simply another meaningless title that facilitates the arousal of envy and other unnecessary emotions… Clearly you are jealous of his seemingly bodacious title that allows him to be deemed of higher intelligence. Get over it. It’s just a title. Worthless, meaningless, and overtly disgusting. If you concern yourself with the same edged materialism, you will fall to his abysmally low level as well.</p>

<p>You’re absolutely right first poster.</p>

5

<p>I agree with first poster too. Stop wasting your time being jealous and worry about your own studies. Obsessing over some kid with a lightsaber program will never help you get through high school.</p>

</p>

<p>That sounds pretty cool. Do you know where he got it from?</p>

7

<p>People are bunch of sheep, that’s why.</p>

<p>No one is a “genius” unless they convince you that they are. He may be smart, but academics is not the only thing that will get you through life. Really, the only person youn really need to care about is you. Plus, instead of wowoing people with a lightsaber on a calculator, bring a 100 dollar darth vader replica instead :).</p>

<p>People throw around words like genius, but they don’t really mean anything.</p>

<p>

So being able to memorize a lot doesn’t make one a genius. I agree.</p>

<p>

Wait, what? Memorization?</p>

<p>Why are you hating? You just sound jealous. Let him have his “genius” title. He probably works hard anyhow</p>

11

<p>Why are you letting something about him get to you? Just have confidence in yourself and do what you need to do to be your best.</p>

<p>cool story brah</p>

13

<p>33 act from a 7th grader is pretty impressive though.</p>

14

<p>Is someone a little salty?</p>

15

<p>

</p>

<p>"Touch</p>

16

<p>No offence to Southern Alabama but I just chuckled to myself after reading that they feel the smartest kid in the country comes from Southern Alabama.</p>

17

<p>you have to admit a 33 on the ACT for a seventh grader is pretty remarkable.</p>

<p>In the end, all that matters are one’s accomplishments, not one’s titles nor his innate gifts.</p>
