gifted student™ brains are about as functional as horses when you get right down to it
which sounds like a shit post but consider: horses? hypothetically MADE for running. look at this magnificent muscle beasts. look at those legs. they must be so good at running, right? wrong. horses are fragile as fuck. horses break their gotdamn legs so so easily, and if they break their legs you just have to fucking shoot them. if they run, the thing they are MADE FOR, too fast their lungs will start bleeding. I just googled horses to see if I was missing anything and apparently if they lie down for a day their organs start collapsing or something so they can’t rest from their One Horse Purpose even when they’re hurt. they’re made to do one thing but they can only do it under Very Specific Conditions and if a single thing changes they just die.
which, you know. gifted students™ get applauded for being naturally smart when we’re five or whatever and then develop a terrible inflated sense of self that makes us highly averse to anything we’re not naturally good at, because it challenges our fragile childbrain egos and if we wait too long we’ll develop mental fences around entire subjects and skillsets (mine are math and studying) because we think we’re Bad at them, when in reality we just need to practice but are frustrated by that because it’s harder than being ~naturally talented~ was. we get applauded for doing One Thing but the second we run into slightly different things that our brains don’t comprehend as readily? it’s a Bad Time. I still have so much anxiety over things I don’t feel Naturally Talented at that I’ve been sitting here writing this post for like 10 minutes rather than read the feedback on my religion paper. I got a 100% on it, but I’m still That Scared of anything other than straight heaps of praise because that’s what my childbrain was acclimated to. just send me to the glue factory already.

if ure 12yo and on tumblr.. best advice: deactivate ur account
i see a lot of twelve year olds taking this kind of advice the wrong way so let me clear this up, lol.
this site is literally a cesspool of bad choices, advice, and views. everything from adults using and convincing minors of things because they don’t kow any better to believing that you can never recover from your trauma or mental illness and will go no where in life. it’s honestly one of the most toxic communities i’ve ever seen and i would NEVER recommend someone under fifteen to join.
a lot of people i’ve known who have been on this site since eleven, twelve, or thirteen have said they wish they have never come here because they’ve picked up so many ugly and toxic beliefs and behaviors.
and let’s not forget the fact that no one cares or takes internet safety seriously anymore? i know that schools, advertisements, and media in general has made it out to be a little ridiculous, like it has done with bullying, but it’s still very real and very risky. i see so many minors put so much info out there (including their faces)
and tumblr is one of the worst places to do this. there’s so many predators out there looking for people to snatch. there’s so many pedophiles on here, you wouldn’t believe. it’s so scary.
so yeah, being on here is an extreme risk i wish so many minors didn’t make. it’s so easy to get manipulated.
this site is not safe, and i don’t think it ever will be.
