I always feel bad for kids like this. The school experience and growing up with a good set of friends can be such a rewarding experience, but with kids like this, they rush through the process and don't get to even, remotely, enjoy the social experience involved with making friends, dating, and sort of finding out who you are. The whole experience is so much more than just passing the tests.

I was a gifted kid who was ruthlessly bullied by my peers into refusing to attend achool and giving up any dreams of higher education alltogether. School socialization is a joke

I'm sorry to hear that your, specific, experience was bad, but I'm sure you realize that just because YOUR experience was bad does not mean that the experience is bad for everyone else too.
