Life is tough for smart kids.

As children, they might be labeled “nerds” or “geeks” or have their faces stuffed into toilet bowls.

In high school, their acumen might leave little time for socialization or put off members of the opposite sex.

It could also earn them a scholarship to college — where conditions are more favorable to smart kids than, say, elementary school. In the early years, the smartest kid in class is often the least socially accepted and the most harassed for his boogers.
