Hello everyone, this is odd, I'm a guidance counselor so you'd think I'd be answering questions, but I have a major one question that needs answering. A student I've known for a long time came to me the other day, or rather his teacher made him. The kids grades are slipping horribly. He's highly gifted and his average used to be over 98, but now he's barely pulling a 70. His teacher knows something is bothering him but he won't tell anybody. I finally got it out of him. This'll sound pretty dumb but the kid claims that he is a tortured genius. He claims that he is sitting on a fence, between good and evil. He wants to be good, but the bad is very tempting. He wants to be a superhero, but at the same he has plans for world domination. I wouldn't believe it from any other kid but this one. He has shown me plans for robotic suits and advanced nanotechnological schematics, as well as detailed step by step course to take over the world. Nothing I've done seems to be helping him!
