Just two days ago teachers told me I was gifted for "deep thinking" and vocabulary/convincing skills.
It's weird, though... I would've never thought I was. They claim my deep thinking ability is the reasoning of why I haven't succeeded well in my classes, as I would read a sentence then think deeper into it and find all the flaws in a textbook, followed by the positive perspectives. Also, the reasonings that teachers would LET me pass is due to my ability to convince them easily (unless my mark was far below 45%... but I did convince a teacher to pass me in French class with a 42%). They also say I'm completely bored with highschool education and that I'd rather just work as a Lawyer/Sociologist/Judge/Primeminister right now because my mind is already capable of doing such a task.
But, they claim with that skill, I can succeed in whatever talent I'm INTERESTED in, which is mainly Sociology, History, Conflicts and Law.
I'm just shocked... lol.

That's good. =)
I can't seem to concentrate on any particular thing lately, but then it's like I'm thinking on robotic and everything I seem to take interest in flies off in another direction. When I do concentrate on one particular thing, I'm pretty sure I could get something done if my procrastinating nature doesn't win out first. Even then.. it feels like life is so pointless... but I'm trying because I want to make a difference... for the future generations, one day, I know I'm going to be there- even if I have to take steps, get help, pass it on to others, sacrifice originality (err, originality might be good when solving a case) and maybe repeat it, little by little, little by big or big by big.
I think I might go into law enforcement... or try to get as much money as possible. xD

I thought I did, it's giftedness. They're somewhat the same but people who suffer ADHD have more negative factors than one who's gifted. The reasoning why you may have a short attention span is probably due to "Existential depression" in-which gifted people can gain due to their way of thinking... research that. I've grown up with that all my life and used weed, alcohol, and gangs to survive from it.... even though it harmed my brain even more. Research about "gifted children" and then "existential depression"

Dante, I've been called an underachiever and lazy for the very same reasons people say your gifted. People are quick to label things they dont understand, arent they?
School, for the most part, bored the hell out of me. Unless it was psychology, language arts, or physical science (never cared much for chemistry or the others) then I wasnt interested. Majority of the stuff I learn, Im not going to use in my future profession anyway. How is all that other crap relevant to me becoming a psychiatrist? Maybe math and psychology, but the other classes I really dont need. Personally, I believe students should be able to have more control over what they learn, and be able to apply it in their own way. When I told my psychology teacher that, the only thing she could say was "School is not for the individual, its for the people." Yeah it sure is...and they wonder why so many kids drop out or make low grades.
Im seriously contemplating on whether or not I even want to start college on March 15...I always wanted to go into the Marine Corps, but all that limitation and structure that comes with being in the military really puts me off. I dont like people telling me what to do or barking orders in my face...something my teachers and counselors also were quick to point out.

I dont like people telling me what to do or barking orders in my face...something my teachers and counselors also were quick to point out. I know exactly what you mean... The only skills that I acheive in are negotiating, convincing, thinking deep into law/social scientific theories, philosophizing about topics (creating my own theories), analyzing (such as the pros and cons to a law) etc... The only jobs that would make me satisfied, are if I was a leader of an army, or a leader of a country... or a leader of my own organization (which is why I was in gangs, excluding the money/suvival factor to it all), or even a bussiness leader. Even a motivational speaker, as I speak in SPEECHES 90% of the time, which is why I lack to handle a great conversation 'cause I can go on and on about a topic for an hour. I've contemplated about joining the army several times... You're not alone.... I feel that if all fails, I'm either going to start a revolution (real revolution, not basic gangs... I'm talkin citizen armies), or to just join the army myself. I LOVE the fact of "Order and structure" but I don't want to go through the process as one of the soldiers being ordered around. I want to be the tactical leader who controls them!

I think I'm average. I've been called lazy, stupid, an underachiever, and maybe it's because I am, probably, not that stupid though. The only ability I previously had was to easily absorb anything, even unconciously and I've only glanced at it once. I think I might've had existential depression for about 3 years... it's kind of hard for me to be really happy, but I might wear a mask at times and I might not even know what I'm really feeling, kind of get criticised a lot for a number of reasons... I really try hard to shake it off though. I guess it's my own fault though. I get easily distracted and it's like I can't really concentrate on anything, it takes a while for me to actually get back to the original thought I had.
I've contemplated joining the army for its benefits, I wanted to learn what kind of tactics they used- maybe learn how to build tanks and guns, bet no one expected that.
I really wouldn't want to kill anyone if I can avoid it. Besides, living might be a good thing, particularly if you have a family, the military has its benefits though. The Canadian school system allows room for 2nd chances without having to pay a costly sum even after graduation and allows more room for people to choose what they want to be. I honestly kind of get irritated being ordered around, but, if it reaches a certain goal, then I don't mind.

@ Fem: Your not average Fem. From what I read in your posts, you seem like an intelligent person. Like Dante said, most gifted people seem average. You have layers to you...most people don't. Then again, I cant tell you how to think about yourself..just know that I dont think your average.
@ Dante: True...I wouldnt want to join the army or the Marines just to be some regular enlisted personnel. They dont have much say in anything...except maybe the non commissioned officers (sergeants), but it takes a couple of years to reach those ranks. If I do decide to join, I want to enter the Marines through this program they have called Officer Candidate school, which allows a college grad to become a Marine officer. I want to be able to have power, and control! I want to be the guy who is not just holding the rifle, but is also giving commands.

I feel if I fail at achieving primeminister/lawyer/judge/sociologist/bussiness-owner.... then I may just either join the army to become a General by the time I'm 50ish or whatever.... OR I'll just stick to my gang ways and cause revolution to everybody around me as a garbage-man on the side xD 35$ an hour that's awsome.

I really don't know what I want to do if I fail at becoming a cop. The starting pay for cops is around 30$, not sure. All the benefits I'd recieve will be put to good use if I ever do make it. You even get paid vacation. The senior/higher ranks get paid around 100,000-150,000 a year, like in the army, it takes a while and I'm not sure if I can even get anywhere near that kind of position. Garbage men get paid that much?

I'm sure you'll get whichever job you want one day, just keep at it.
