Reply #240: You hit the nail on the head

You basically hit the nail on the head with two simple sentences.

As someone who was Dyslexic and thought he was stupid growing up it's a little insulting hearing the type of kids who use to make fun of me with statements like "Oh, your in the dumb class" proclaiming that it's time for them to "let their brains hang out" and to celebrate how brilliant they are. The glory days are over now so get over yourself and quit acting like you had it so bad. I would have given anything to be called "gifted" or "genius" when I was going to summer school after failing 2nd grade. If the "dumb" kids can move on and forget about our painful past and years of self doubt I would hope the "genius" kids could as well.

We are adults now and it's time to shed the labels of our past and get on with life.
