We often hear about gifted kids, but seldom from them. Drawing on the voices of thousands of gifted teenagers—kids from around the world who responded to an online survey—this book is a real-life look at what being gifted means to teens today. What is giftedness all about? What's it like to be smarter than some of your friends? What about expectations, mistakes, getting along, gifted programs, and dull days at school? Includes hundreds of quotes from teens ages 13-19, brief biographies, and activities. Essential reading for gifted teens and the adults who care about them.
