I don't see why you want to label yerself as 'gifted.' If you need it to feel special, then by all means, please do. I'll label myself as 'awesome' then ^^.

I just read this and was like...huh? What are you saying...so i've asked my friend to correct it, so that people can actually understand what you are saying.
My life is perfect. :) My parents are really rich, so we live in a massive mansion. We have our own part of the beach , -space- and my dad has brought an island near Hawaii.
-New line- I get A+ (A* is not a grade) in all my subjects without trying.

Hmmm, well..kinda makes me wonder..If you are gifted, then what am i? And what's my friend? She must be super gifted because she could correct all of that...


Oh, and..btw:

I feel that people who say 'i'm gifted' actually just mean 'I'm arrogant'. That's my opinion though ^^, feel free to disagree with me, i don't really care lolz.

Just because I am not in gifted programs does not mean I am not intelligent. Most adults I talk to say I am quite mature and smart for my age. I am not in a gifted program because I refused to take the test that would have told me if I qualified. I did not want to take it because, well, most of the people in them have this silly mindset that they are better and smarter than people that are not in these programs. I really did not want to be around people like that.

Judging by your spelling and grammar, I don't think you are "gifted". =_=
If they let you into gifted programs writing like that I'm pretty sure anyone could get it.

Also, It is Pratically Impossible to do 18 GCSE subjects with a 50 hour timetable (thats what mine is, over two weeks) I take 11, with one which is 60% instead of 40% coursework like my others, and I have to still do a lot of work afterschool. So the only way that's 'possible' is having no holidays which in you could do maybe 1 more....Also you cannot get a scholarship from Pineapple..it is not a college.

I'm going to have to agree that everyone is intelligent, everyone has a great amount of potential. Just not everyone passes a test that marks them as "gifted". It's really about how hard you try, and how much of that intelligence and common sense you USE in day-to-day life.
I used to go to a school that was pretty much split into three groups- Highly Gifted, Gifted, and "Traditional". It was pretty awful. Everyone in my program, the first of those three was way too stuck up and high and mighty. It was pretty awful. I really don't consider it right.

We don't have a 'gifted' Program. but at GCSE there is a higher and a foundation paper, but because on the higher paper the lowest grade you can get is a 'D' so most people do do it, so there's not really a sense of
nah-nah I'm better than you!

Wow, bragging much? Why are you talking about your parents being rich, it's not as if you earned the money... Also, I highly doubt you're gifted. Even if you are, normal people spell better than you.

I'm not sure that's very polite. Perhaps she is gifted and just chooses to type like this (Although, if that were the case, I would've shown you in a reply or something. But whatever.) I have a lot of friends who are pretty smart and choose to type in chat-speak when they're texting or emailing or something similar.
However, I would suggest trying not to brag, even if it's not on purpose. It makes you seem bratty. Which you may very well be, actually.
