when children who were once considered the "gifted" or "smart" kids in class grow up to underperform academically and (likely) socially. the kid who actually liked doing homework and got all A's when they were nine but by sixteen aren't doing well in school and often feel crushing disappointment at the loss of approval teachers and parents once gave them. often have problems socializing, have poor mental health, and resort to drinking/drugs/other forms of escapism. usually really smart, but still do poorly/average in school.
amanda: didn't you used to get straight A's? what happened?
angela: i started underperforming and because my entire self-esteem rested on my grades so now i have no idea what to do lol anyway now i'm a gifted kid burnout
